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.

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.

It worked really well, but the price was much higher than what you guys are paying in the US.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

Agreed. I stopped watching the long versions because I simply have life I need to keep vs. You tube 30+ minutes videos of how to wash the car etc. With that rate I’ll never find time to actually wash the car myself. lol.

If someone has water spots under a ceramic coating basically would have to polish the truck then turn around and do this process on it. After that then go back around with panel prep before coating with ceramic coating again?

Last question for today 🙈: do you agree with this sentence i Heard ---> "Gloss Is given by polishing First"
@diydetailofficial Ай бұрын
Yes, the gloss is created by the paint polishing process, coating locks it in.

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.
@diydetailofficial 6 ай бұрын
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.

In my country our waterspot removers are called, acid rain remover an they are a ph4 acid. And it will remove those so quickly. Apply it on a damp microfiber an all you need is 1 wipe, its gone

When they are not etched, correct this will also remove them quickly

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.
@diydetailofficial 9 ай бұрын
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.
