WATER SPOTS > ME badly....
what can i used to take out water spots..... my truck gets nailed by my sprinklers every night.. its really starting to make me angry..
the sprinklers are always going to be there, so i need something to help get rid of the damn water spots when they happen.. i just waxed my truck so the spots are at a minimum right now, but they are still there... it looks like complete ass in the sun light... what can i do guys to remove these? i know i could clay bar it.. but thats not an option every week ya know? i can keep as much wax on it as possible but there are still water spots on it.  |

Re: WATER SPOTS > ME badly....
might be somewhat off topic but, i work with irrigation supplies and i know, that if you have a lot of iron in your irrigation system then that can mess up a paintjob.. ive seen it happen on cars, boats, houses.. its nasty :{

Re: WATER SPOTS > ME badly....
Heh, around here the water is so hard it can break a rock in half! Seriously, no matter how much wax I use I have the same problem as above. The only rational solution i can see if pre-filtering the water.

Re: WATER SPOTS > ME badly....
What kinda sprinklers are they? If they're the small pop-ups you can adjust the center screw to reduce the amount of water they shoot out, that will help prevent them
 Try using a paint cleaner, a good OTS one would be the Meguiars Deep Crystal Paint Cleanser, as long as your water isn't too hard that should remove them. |

Re: WATER SPOTS > ME badly....

Re: WATER SPOTS > ME badly....
um...well it sounds like you have to deal with it....or change the time the sprinklers go off...make it so they go on during the day when you are not home...
