How to Remove Water Spots of Any Age From Your Finish

In this video, we will guide you through the process of effectively removing water spots from your car's paint or glass. Depending on the severity and age of the water spots, we will show you various methods to address the issue.
We've broken down the development of water spots in to three stages. We'll begin with stage one, where water spots are just mineral deposits on the surface, and you can easily use Waterless Wash to dissolve and wipe off these spots.
Moving on to stage two, where water spots have turned into scale and bonded to the surface, we recommend using a Clay Bar or Hand Polish for more aggressive removal.
If the water spots have etched into the surface, reaching stage three, you'll need to use a machine polisher to remove them. Watch the video, follow our step-by-step instructions, and say goodbye to those water spots for good!

I hope this comment will be helpful for some that are fighting the water marks battle that I fought. 1- for some reason, hard water spots bond stronger and faster to glass than they do to paint. 2- you don't necessarly need a detailer and hunderds of dollars to remove water spots. Buy a polish and use a micro fiber pad and it will get rid of water spots that has been on the paint/glass for anywhere from weeks to months. 3- polishing by hand is less risky (won't haze) and will slightly restore paint by the way. So, just polish itched water spots by hand in your garage or driveway and don't bother with hard water spot removers. Some hard water removers haze and leave foggy resedue that requires polishing anyway. This gentlman is right about using polish, but I wish he showed polishing by hand since it's really easy and effective method instead of the DA polisher which many people don't have access to.

One way to check condition of paint or glass is once clean and dried, spray on a prep or alcohol and you'll see the circles you can do this to check if you removed a coating aswell. Never polish off water spots if you can help it because it can drive the minerals deeper, heat is what makes the spots burn in.

Another method for water spotted glass is to use 0000 steel wool and any liquid wax. Cheapest you can find. A good friend that owns a body shop told me about this years ago. Let the steel wool work, don't force it, the wax lubricates. Also can use detail spray. You can feel when the water spots are gone. Gets extremely smooth! MUST be 0000.

Can't wait to give this a go. Already use the 0000 steel wool for cleaning up chrome on my motorcycles. Thanks for posting this. First I've seen it mentioned.

I've tried to clean my windshield with window cleaner. The Camry was given to me by my late cousin who past away September 1st 2022. There is a Beebe shot where it broke the glass but it's not spreading. The Camry LE is a 2000 so the windshield is now 23 years old. There looks to be strikes on the glass going downward. I thought in cleaning windshield regularly this would get rid of the strikes. But to no avail. There still there. I thought about getting a glass stripper from Stoner to see if that would work. Haven't got the kit yet but I'm going too. Where I live we have extreme hard water here. I won't wash my car with it. I use distilled water. I know that's expensive but the clean car speaks for itself. I just don't know how to get rid of the strikes out of the windshield. Liked your video on water spots.

Why does Yven Lecroix over at DIYDetail talk of needing to remove the minerals from a water spot BEFORE polishing, but this video says you can go straight to polish?

I wonder if the dedicated water spot removers from varuous companies work for stage 2

@AdamsPolishes 7 ай бұрын

Hi there, yes, you can use a Water Spot Remover for stage 2 of this video, but they are more aggressive and you must follow the directions to avoid any possible issues, since they do contain acids. We offer a Water Spot Remover Kit as well, which you can find here: adamspolishes.com/products/adams-water-spot-remover-kit

I have a lot of water spots on the inside edges under the hood and hatch cover on my corvette. It doesn’t look like a place the polisher will not work because it’s to narrow. I just bought the car so I don’t know how long they have been there. I had the car detailed but he couldn’t get them off. I’m a little desperate for an answer. Any suggestions you might have will be appreciated thank you

You need a good polish for Windows with oxyde cerium and 0000 wool , cover the edge with scotch and work a long time on a area . Dont do strenght on the wool

Polish by hand brotha. It's going to be the same effect. Polish has chimical abrasives in it along with some motion will remove hradrwater spots.

Can I use Water Spot Remover on gloss black rims🤔

@AdamsPolishes Жыл бұрын

You can, but it is a very strong chemical, so you must follow all directions. Make sure the wheels are cool to the touch, and do not let the Water Spot Remover sit on the surface for too long, 20 seconds or so and then very thoroughly rinse it off with water. Safer alternatives to remove water spots on gloss black wheels (after cleaning them) would be our Hand Polish or Brilliant Glaze.

It works when the waterspots arent to bad, but after they been in the sun for a few weeks you need something more agresive, than the water spot removed works much better, if the acid wont remove it than you need to polish .

@v8tergt653 3 ай бұрын

@@Scott-sb1xi I tried removing waterspots on a truck today, claybar it, than use water spot remover which will remove the minerals that are still in top, otherwise you run the risk of etching the minerals into the clear coat with the polish. It’ll look good and a few weeks later they’ll come out again. On this truck I needed 3 passes with Adams heavy cutting compound with a microfiber pad, following up with 2 passes with compound and blue pad, and finally white pad with polish and it came out perfect. And on the windows I use the Adams Glass polish that you only use by hand, and it removed some, but a wool pad with heavy cutting compound removed it much faster , did 6 passes and removed the compound, reaplied the compound and did another 6 passes and that did the trick. So on the paint try using the least aggressive method first in a small area, and check what works for you.
