Tips and Techniques for Effectively Removing Water Spots from Your Car

Kenny’s Auto Detail • Jun 06, 2023

We've all been there - you painstakingly wash your car, only to find pesky water spots ruining your perfect finish. Water spots are caused by unfiltered water or water with mineral deposits that land on your vehicle and dry. But what's the harm in leaving water stains? Because they are made of salt, dirt, and minerals, these droplets are acidic and can leave a crater in your car’s paint job. If these holes are overlooked, they will eventually scratch and damage the car's paint finish. The best ways to remove these water stains and protect your vehicle are detailed below. When you need professional cleaning and detailing in Seattle, contact Kenny’s Auto Detail


How Do You Remove Water Spots?

The most basic method for removing water stains is to start with a thorough car wash. Make sure to do this out of direct sunlight; the best times are early in the morning or after sunset. Instead of letting your vehicle air dry after washing it, use a microfiber towel to dry it. If any stains remain, make a 50/50 mixture of distilled water and white vinegar. After that, lightly rub the spots with a gentle cloth to eliminate them. We recommend that you wash and dry your car once more following this. If any stains persist, we recommend taking your vehicle to Kenny’s Auto Detail for a complete detail. To avoid this problem in the future, we can apply a protective ceramic coating or paint protection film to your vehicle's paintwork.
