What's in the water?






Anytime a topic comes up over and over again, instead of addressing and typing out related information, I simply write an article for the topic and then instead of typing out individual answered for the topic all I have to do is link to the article. Huge time saver and resource, if to no one else, at least a resource to me.


So over and over again, people share they are having problems with,

Water Spots


And I always put the focus on,

What's in the water?


Most people focus on the wax, sealant or coating? And of course that's natural But if there's SOMETHING in the water that is so powerful, or corrosive or hazardous that it can not only eat-through or etch-through Brand X that was applied to the paint but then also ETCH the paint.... then to me, the focus shouldn't be on the micron thin layer of protect but instead,

What's in the water?


So moving forward, every time I find a past thread with the water spot topic and/or there's a new thread with the water spot topic, I'll add it to the list in the 2nd post below.


And if a wax, sealant or coating is discovered that appears to be resistant to water spotting, well then that will be added to post #3


And that's the way I roll around here...

List of products that appear to resist water spots. Remember, the WATER that lands on a car's finish can be very different for various reasons.

1. Rain water?
2. Air-borne pollution? (mixes in with the rain)
3. Industrial fallout or pollution? (mixes in with the rain)
4. Sprinkler water?
5. Well water?
6. City water?
7. Acid rain?
8. Alkaline rain?

Am I missing a known culprit?

•I’m thinking:
-What’s in the water that’s used by many Car Wash
facilities (except for, perhaps, the rinse cycle) that,
more often than not, comes from their on-site water
reclamation systems.
