I can remove the spots with a quick detailer which makes me think they are bugs or similar. Never heard of high iron content water spots. How do they get on a car and any way to prevent?

Washing my cars today I noticed these reddish spots (not rail dust) all over my white Sti as well as my silver 4Runner. The Sti is ceramic coated. Washing the car did not remove all of these. I did use a quick detailer and that seemed to remove most of these. Curious what these spots are and...

Unfortunately living in a condo community I am forced to wash my car in the designated area. I try to not wash it in the sun, but sometimes it ends up happening. Looking for recommendations for a product that will remove hard water stains from glass. The spots are usually fresh, but no matter...

Sorry for the late reply could not find this thread again! I had the car coated with opti coat.

Late to the party but sounds like PFM is the way to go!

I washed my car for the first time today and noticed that my drying towels feel like they are grabby to the touch. I only use high quality microfiber towels and wash them using microfiber wash. Is this normal for towels to feel this way? I am also having trouble drying my windows without getting...

Hey everyone, I have a white Sti that I had ceramic coated last year. With the nicer weather I gave it a wash today and noticed that some rail dust is present especially on the trunk and rear bumper. prior to coating the car I was using ironx followed by a good sealant in the spots i hit. Will...

Hi All, I have been getting yellow blotches on my white Subaru WRX. The car is coated with opticoat. Does anyone know what these stains are and how to go about removing them? If I use an abrasive to remove them how do I go about recoating the area? Picture below is hard to tell, but it is a...

I am located in Philadelphia, so not too far. Could definitely be the case. I was away for a week and half and this happened. Typically I wash the car weekly to avoid contaminates getting stuck

It was difficult to capture in pics, but looks like little orange and red spots. Almost like bug blood, but all over the car.

Today I was washing my car (White Subaru) and noticed that I have little red spots all over the paint. Typically I get these during the summer in a few spots, but this time they are everywhere. It looks like rail dust, but washes away with some effort. What are these spots and how do I safely...

I am looking for a quick detailer and uv protection spray. I tried IGL ecoclean interior, but it left some streaking on the plastics.

Does anyone have any opinions on this product or has anyone used this in the past? I like that it's a more natural product and want to use it as an overall interior cleaner

Subaru is pretty notorious for having extremely thin paint. I just didn't realize it was that thin.

For this winter I plan to coat my car with a sealant for some immediate protection, but as the weather breaks I plan to have a professional detail shop ceramic coat the car. I spoke with a reputable shop in the area and they mentioned that they have options that will last between 4-5 years. I...

I had a friend with a paint guage go over the car and on some panels the paint was 70 microns or less. This is what has me worried about polishing if not absolutely necessary.

Thank you for all of the responses! This is why I love this forum. In regards to why I am not doing a traditional ceramic coating. I have read mixed reviews on all of the coatings in regards to durability. I do not want to pay $1K + for something that will last a year. Additionally I have no...

I have a 2019 CWP Subaru and am looking to protect the paint. Car is a daily driver and is parked outside 100% of the time. I am not ready to drop $1000 + to ceramic coat and am looking to wash, decontaminate it and seal it. Below are some of the sealants I am considering. Have read good reviews...

Just by hand, but I will give a my 3" orbital a try. Was hoping to avoid that, but guess its the only way.
