***I messed up on the title. Its supposed to say" My method for removing very difficult water spots with SPOTLESS and NANOSKIN" ***
So today I had a customer who had some of the worst hard water spots i have ever seen. They were terrible. Apparetly he has acid water or something where he lives lol. Any way, I went at the car with CarPro spotless. Spotless works very well but this time it was almost no match for these hard water spots. But none the less it worked in the end and here is how i did it.
I first washed the car to see what i was working with. I sprayed the area down with spotless and then sprayed my foam applicator with spotless and applied to to the paint in a cross hatching pattern. I may have left it on the paint longer then recomended but my test spot determined it was safe. I rubbed it in for about 30sec - 1min. It was shady and cool which allowed me to work it longer. I then hosed it down to wash away the acid then i sprayed with clay lube and used the nano skin sponge (fine). I wiped the area down with a dry microfiber and examined the area. I repeated this process about 4 times to get the results I wanted. Spotless paired with the nano skin worked wonders.
Total time on this car was around 4 hours. That included wash, wax, clean glass, clean chrome, dress trim tires and wheel wells and pack up.
All in all this shaved 8 hours off my time as i didnt have to do a 3 stage paint correction. This also made my customer very happy because it didnt cost him an arm and a leg. He was so happy in fact he scheduled 2 more details with me next week for his suv and his wifes car.
Here are 2 pictures (one before one after) also note that the before picture was after i washed the car and that circular haze was where my customer tried removing the water spots with megs water spot remover.
