Hey guys, well I posted a thread a little while back about detailing my car, and over the few past weeks, I have picked up some different things to try out before my birthday comes when I can buy all of the stuff I will need. Out where I live we have unbelievably hard water, and my car sat by our sprinklers for a few months. All of my glass is covered in it, and so is the paint. The ONLY thing that will remove at least 90% of the water spots from my glass is a pure RAZOR. Even the razor doesnt do enough. Ok, well the same exact material that is on my glass is on my paint, so I need some type of compound that is sharper then a razor.
Yesterday I tried a mothers clay bar kit on one fender of my car. Then I tried some turtle wax scratch swirl remover and some HARD rubbing it in, and with the clay bar and the turtle wax together without a buffer was a very VERY minimal increase in difference. 95% of the water spots are still there. It barely touched it.
Then I tried clay bar on my windsheild to remove some contamintents, and it did absolutley nothing. The only thing that does it is a razor, and I cant take a RAZOR to my paint. These water stains are also ALL over things on my car that arent clear coated, like my side mirror plastic, there covered in it, and the trim around the windows are covered in it. What could I use to remove water spots THAT bad on a non-clear coated surface? What could I use to remove the water spots on my paint and restore to an EXCELLENT shine?? I need a compound as sharp as a razor on my paint.
Would a Porter Cable 7424, and some XMT #4 and some good pressure take it off?
In need of some serious help here guys, the car paint is gone, and it needs BIG time REAL help.
Thanks everyone for your replies.
