This is the best video i watched on removing water spots!!!!

[BarretKruse]

Thank you for covering basics on your channel. Obviously I have washed a car before, but I do it my way or the way I was taught by well intentioned people who were not professionals. I am discovering a lot od things I didn't know and many things I just plain out missed. This video is a good example of both! It is never presented in a "well, you should know that' way, not talking over our heads, and if it is something I know, I understand why the material is put there. Good stuff, thanks!

Great video. I’m a detailer also. I use acid but have a little trick I use when ever applying acid around trim. I take my dark fury and soak a towel with it. I apply the acid in a controlled way like you did but immediately take the high alkaline dark fury towel and neutralize the acid that got on the trim. I’ve ruined trim using acid 1:10 before so I learned the hard way

Father of 4 sons too here and I detail as a side job on weekends. Happy Father's Day! Great video!

Dilution Recommendation:

Start at 1 part cleaner, 10 parts water on a test spot if you want to be cautious but the most effective will start at 1:4. If your feeling brave and 1:4 is not working, You can test a spot at 1:1. It is technically designed to be used on clear coated wheels at full strength as it says dilute-able up to 1:4 on the bottle. Just be careful and always start least aggressive!

Replacement recommendation for discontinued Meguiars wheel brightener to have similar results is “wire wheel cleaner” by superior products. Distributed by oreilly’s. Thanks for watching!

[Finetouchautopros]

That’s good I got a big job coming up like this on a smaller vehicle. I was going to go right into polishing but man I have to just get the job done and get the superior product

[mrBDeye]

One way to not get water spots on clear coat paint is to not wash your vehicle if you are on well water. Water spots can be removed using CLR, a product available at any hardware store.
Im very fortunate that my village has good quality city water.

Hi Alan, Boy, did the Superior Wire Wheel Cleaner work great! It removed 99% of the water spots on my 2016 Chevy Tahoe. I am happy as a “Pig in Poop
” now. 😬 I finished the vehicle with DIY Detail Red Rotary Jeweling Pad and my Dewalt DWP849X Rotary Polisher, then finished with DIY Ceramic Gloss

You show very clearly the steps and products to use to remove the stubborn water spots. Too bad I live in freaking California and therefore it is forbidden to get SP wire wheel cleaner.

[justinweeks]

Thanks for the video. Should you do this before the detail, after, etc? And does it actually protect it for months to come or it will need to be reoccurring?

[stfrompuertorico]

I had my car at the mechanic and when I went to drive to my cousin's home I noticed that he stained my visor and part of the headliner. Since I only had a couple of my microfiber towels and a small bottle of Rinseless for those cases there's some bird poop, I stopped at Auto Zone and bought the Meguiars carpet and upholstery cleaner that is a foam. Sprayed it on the microfiber towel and cleaned all. So I let you know about this fast alternative.

Should I also dilute wheel acid when I clean my wheels ? Ty

[michaelkraus]

''BAR KEEPERS '' Seems to be the MOST POPULAR PRODUCT

[recca]

hey great vid! just wanted some clarification, you were soaking the acid in a clay towel or would a regular towel/shammy do the trick?

And I read on another comment that your brand of tire cleaner has been discontinued. There is a Meguiar's Ultimate All Wheel/Rim Cleaner, would this be all right for the job?

[BrXSiempreHDS]

good video friend, what is the dilution

[DanielCValot]

Will this work on windshield and glass in the car, my truck is 30 years old and it feels like oxidized paint and I was going to try mothers aluminum mag wheel cleaner. It’s a very light abrasive, but I’m interested in what you have to suggest here thank you for your video. It’s great

[okwslsb]

If my car has a sealer already should I leave the shell acid on little longer ?

[SLLLC-]

Great video and skills!!!… What’s the dilution ration in the video or did you use it straight?

Can you use it on glass also??

[kenkelly]

Easy solution is buy a bottle of Lucas Oil Spray Detailer. Spray it on and then wipe off with a micro fiber cloth. Water spots disappear no problem.
