Removing water spots from Ceramic coatings

[ugafiredawg]

Hello!
I just applied the new Wolfgang ceramic coating to my "black" truck. According to the local weather, we are about to get pummeled with rain the next few days. The truck is in the garage for the initial 12 her curing time, but will be left to the elements when I head to work.

My question is, what is everyone doing to remove the inevitable water spots that occur after a rain and when a ceramic coating is applied? Is this coating less susceptible to rain water spots than a LSP such as WG Paint Sealant? I normally use a light polish, WG Finishing Glaze) and finish with WG Paint Sealant. This is my first time using a coating.

Just wondering what the experts think.

Thanks!!

Just a normal wash should take care of them unless they are hard water spots.

First:
I'd wait and see if this Coating even becomes
water-spotted; and, then, if water-spotting should
happen to occur: analyze/determine to what extent,
if any, that they may be deleterious to the paint.

Then...
before any of the abrading-methods, that
you mentioned above, are even attempted...
Follow Nick's advise of washing the vehicle with:

Great! Thanks for the insight. My truck is garaged when at home, but every third day, it is out in the elements for 24 hrs. So this is something I will try to stay on top of. I have WG's new waterless wash as well. I am hoping this is something that can be used to remove them, if they occur.

if they occur you can use carpro spotless

1. wash

if that doesn't work

2. spotless

if that doesn't work

3. MDR and some elbow grease

if that doesn't work

4. Poli-Seal and a mild cut/no cut pad or maybe this new CarPro Essence...although Poli-Seal is all you need and is a hell of a lot cheaper.

if that doesn't work

5. you are out of luck and will have to polish, removing the coating - thus, having to re-apply.

builthatch- great post, seems like you got it down.

Thanks again! I was just looking at Spotless. Seems like it would be fine to use with the WG coating. I'll see how the coating handles spots and initially start with a wash if they appear. Ideally, I would like to use something like the WG Uber Rinseless Wash, in its quick detailer form, to do a quick spray and wipe in hopes it does the trick.

The questions that now arise for me are:

-Will all of these suggested brands: Wolfgang, CarPro,
Optimum, etc. play nicely together?

-Doesn't the 'Wolfgang brand', itself, have all of the
products necessary to maintain its own Uber Coating?

-Isn't it a shame that Coatings can
be so worrisome at times?


Good Luck, OP.

Waterless or Rinseless wash and a bunch of plush microfiber towels, is my go to.
