Left wet car in garage after rain, out of town for 17 days

I believe HD sells systems that integrate fertilizers into sprinkler systems

I have no doubt they exist, but my point is how many people use these systems to be detrimental to cars? 1:1,000,000 would be my guess.

Rare? Probably. Non existent...not so much. Homedepot sells it. So not sure its as rare as some may think.

Many golf courses use systems like these. Money savings.

I'm confused too. How do sprinklers distribute lawn chemicals? Sprinkler systems distributing lawn chemicals is a new one for me.

To the OP... enjoy your 2 weeks away and forget about the water spots. Rain water is typically not a problem for destructive spotting. The spotting left from rain water is typically the result of whatever dirt was on the car when it rained and can be removed easily.

Sprinklers (or any tap water) that has a high TDS content is where you can run into issues.

Thanks bro appreciate the feedback

I have had water spotting from rain so bad they needed to be wet sanded, and it was from maybe 2 weeks there. So hopefully yours aren't that bad where a regular polish / compound will remove them. I have been around nursery and irrigation for about 30 yrs and I must say that I have yet to come across any chemical injection for lawns, and seriously doubt there are any for golf courses. Now as previous posters have stated some nurseries do chemical Injection along with places like orange groves regular use injection for their liquid fertilizer.

Yikes I’m hoping mine doesn’t have that problem like yours had. It didn’t even occur to me at the time that they might leave water spots. Crossing my fingers that a good polish does the trick

Unless you are dealing with acid rain, I wouldn't worry

Sprinklers can distribute reclaimed water and that can be destructive to paint. I personally avoid sprinklers as much as I can.

Thanks for the advice!
