Hello all,
I live in an area that has some serious hard water ( i just moved here) :mad:
Stupid me, I left my brand new car outside and the sprinkler water got all over it.
I washed the car but the water spots wont go away.
I went to Pepboys and they recommended me rubbing compound, but it is a bit risky as it can take paint off as well.
I also got some CLR for calcium build ups on the windows.
It seems like so much work just to keep the car clean. I would appreciate it if you guys can leave some tips for a noob.
BTW, I try to dry the car as quickly as I can in shade after washing it.
EDIT: I got some advices from people
1. Vinegar mixed with water works well to dissolve the minerals (water spots). Use newspaper to wipe
2. Toothpaste works as well but not confirmed yet.
