Hey Guys,
Had question regarding water spots....I'm a bit confused about methods for removing them as well as what most people consider "removed" when it comes to water spots.
When someone says they have removed waterspots are they removed from plain sight under regular sunlight only or completely removed not even visible under fluorescent light?
Here's my issue...i have a black Nissan 350z and it has some water spotting however this is not visible on regular light, out in the sun looks great however under a fluorescent light (such as a gas station at night) you can see spotting. Also visible when drying the car as I pass the towel over the roof there's like a ghosting image of the spots but dissapears right away
This might or might not have been there when i bought the car new last year. Since I don't have a garage, and the only times I've noticed it have been at night right under a light i can't really tell for sure. Also I have used Zaino from the moment i got the car and Im guessing should have helped to avoid them. Living in south Florida the rain water quality is not really that acidic, and I had a black car before which never got them...
Now I have tried vinegar, claying, hand polish but unfortunately i cannot tell at the time whether they're being removed or not because i do it outside (like i said no garage) during the day and they're not visible. When i go to a gas station however i usually see them in the hood/roof area.
My question is; reading and seeing some waterspot pictures here in the forum the kind I see are visible on regular daylight. Am I just being too anal since you cant see them in daylight and chances are they're etchings on the clearcoat and will have to be buffed out? or is there something else i can try? (I was thinking Kalsse AIO or something like that, which can be applied by hand)...
Thanks!!
