Excellent video lesson, thank you guys. In Florida mineral spots are definitely an issue. There is not a sprinkler system nor most homes if any that filter their water. Let alone d ionize their water. A lot of homes have a garage but are not situated with the room to wash and dry their car, they have to do in the driveway. This video demonstrates why everyone should wash and dry their car one section at a time. Thank again for all you do.

Great video! I have a quick question. I'm contemplating getting a ceramic coating and am wondering in a scenario like this where you have water spots on ceramic, what do you do? It seems like you are out of luck because you can't polish the spots out without stripping/ damaging the ceramic?? Also I just stumbled upon an article discussing Graphene vs Ceramic Coatings. What is your opinion on this and is Graphene better for maintenance/ being able to remove watersports without damaging Graphene coating? Thanks for your help!

A Graphene based coating like our 3 year coating will help reduce water spots. The best preventative measure is to keep the vehicle Clean with proper wash techniques, and stay away from sprinklers.

Interesting. After seeing this video, I agree with you that water spots would be a huge issue in the detailing world. How do you guys avoid having water spots? I mean, do you use a water filter system? If so, what kind is it? This basically tells me that as a diy'er, I would have to buy distilled water, gallon by gallon and do the rinseless wash. Unless you do this as a full time detailer, it's basically not worth it to buy the expensive equipment and the washing products because the hard water will cancel the purchases and create more problems with the hard water -- the source.

Awesome video! I always thought that the watermark remover was supposed to remove the etching as well. BTW I really hope you guys will consider setting up a repackaging facility here in South East Asia. Its a booming market. The only issue is the cost. I recently purchased DIY Rinseless Wash. It worked really well, but the price was much higher than what you guys are paying in the US. Tried talking to the guy who was selling it, but he said the cost of shipping was very expensive (plus our currency is not doing well). I really want to use the Gold Standard Polish followed by the APC!

What is your recommended paint protection to resist or prevent water spots on a black car. Car sits outside and neighbor likes to point her water hose end sprinkler into the air rinsing her tree leaves. I can’t control when her overspray lands on my black car, then bakes in the sun. I’ve used a water spot remover to remove minerals. Next I’ll polish gyeon evo synchro off and recoat with another paint protection. What do you recommend that sheets instead of beads or how would you attack this issue?

One of my cars got wet in the garage which doesn't let in much heat a couple months ago and got covered in water spots but i observed that they're just spots on top of the surface of the clear while removing them. Water spot remover softens them up to the point where hand polising them wipes them off the surface at the moment

I have a beautiful black cadillac ct4 blackwing, and I unfortunately paid the dealer to apply a "ceramic" coating when I purchased it . All i can see are water spots on the hood when looking at the paint and not the reflection. Is it possible the dealer just applied whatever ceramic, over the etching and if so, would it be better to use your water spot remover, before AND after i polished to remove those coated minerals? Awesome video btw.

Hello Yvan. Why do detailers not simply only offer the exterior WCC? I see they tend to add many other services like ceramic coating, interior cleaning etc. when adding all those things takes so much more time and its simply not as profitable as only offering the WCC. Because from what I've learned from you, the package that most clients value the most is the WCC and its also the most profitable and takes the least amount of time. Or am I missing something? Would love to know your thoughts on this.

So, coatings have been proven NOT to protect from hard watermark stains. In fact, certain coatings can even worsen the retention of such hard watermark stains.

It’s actually a bit of an industry myth. Quality Coatings are not more prone to be affected by water spots. Unfortunately in the early years of coatings, some people overestimated, and over promised their capabilities. One of these was that you never needed to wash your car again and just hose it off and let it dry. The people that did that definitely experienced water spots. It wasn’t the coatings fault, it was the marketing’s fault. Many have stayed with this impression.

what is the most aggressive method on MATT PAINT? when normal water spot remover or clay bar is not working!

That’s unfortunately all that can be done. Once the minerals in the water have etched the surface they can be removed, but not the etching.

actually water spot remover is not very effective, I haven't seen a single youtube video that can remove the spots by the spray "alone"... it's always still there and needs further treatment, ending up in machine polish....

When you two do a Tree Sap Remover video, will it be a decon detail that will include Spot Remover and Iron Remover with Decon Towel? I am curious what the most efficient and time-saving means of going from one to the other to the other would be. Such as I know Spot Remover and Iron Remover can be used while the vehicle is still wet but I think I recall reading Tree Sap Remover should be used on a try vehicle so I am curious what process you two would use.
@diydetailofficial
@diydetailofficial 9 ай бұрын
It can be used on a damp vehicle, but yes is more effective dry. I would wash and dry the vehicle quickly, use the tree sap remover, and then proceed with the rest.

So a mineral remover, not a waterspot remover. The name is a bit deceiving. I’ve used waterspot removers that actually removed the entire waterspot without having to polish it out afterwards. I’ve also polished without using waterspot remover without the spots reappearing. All depends on on several factors. Great video, but the expectation was for a different outcome due to the title.

The industry accepted term is Waterspot remover, but I agree they should all be called mineral contamination removers. DIY Detail Water Spot Remover will remove Waterspots , but if they have been given the opportunity to etch like these unfortunately polishing is required.
