Keeping it clean and trouble
A while ago, there was no way I could avoid this. It was about 100 degrees, sun blaring, and for some odd reason it rains for about 2 minutes. Well I wasn't home nor could I leave where I was to wipe it down, and the water sat on it. There are now little water marks visible all over the paint, windshield, EVERYWHERE. They aren't just openly visible but you can see them when you are close, just little rings everywhere when the light is right. Is there a way I can remove these? Btw, I found some micro fiber towels at dollar tree, same
Kind as the big name stores carry, for 1 buck each instead of 6. |

Dual action buffer and polish.

Washing it generally removes spots. If needed you can go lightly with a buff and polish.

I'm sure if your wiping down a wet car that sat out, you have more issues then just water marks.

He's referring to having probably swirl marks and light scratches. U do not want to wipe ur car unless u have properly washed it to remove all dirt from surface. BTW, what brand name microfiber towels u talking about u found for 1 dollars??

I would wash the car 2 bucket method and dry it to see if spots are still visible, but if they are etched into the paint you may need to DA polish to get them out.
Oh and I'd watch out for those dollar store microfibers. They are usually off brand and will swirl your paint. |
