Hi Bros.....
Like to check how can i remove water marks successfully.
Have been polishing, washing and waxing my car on a weekly basis
tot the car looks clean and shine but the water marks are visible.
The focus of the shine is not there.
What can i do to remove the water marks?
beside going for the professionals.
Thks

Maybe try clay bar. But be careful not to rub too hard. Find out the right way to use clay bar. Or try very fine rubbing compound. Again exercise care.

many people recomended me to use vinegar to remove watermarks... not tried it yet but as soon as i have watermarks, i will..
even the Honda User Manual recomends using a water-vinegar solution... i think it's 1 part vinegar 10 part water...

it works for fresh watermarks..for those that had already etched in..if lucky..it can be minimized..other than that..water marks are there to stay..
Its not the size of your nose that matters but it is how you honk it..

i remember my dad resprayed his car, and they removed all watermarks on the windshield... but don't know what they used.. i have not been back to that workshop since... note that it was on the windshield...
for vinegar-water solution, maybe it helps if allow the vinegar to stay on the marks for longer? rub? scrub? several applications? early application...

you will require abrasive polish to remove them totally.

Hi
I just spray paint the roof of my black car a few weeks back to get rid of water marks. Today I realise it is appearing again. I m now thinking how to get rid of it.
Any help advice?
