Black - water spots
So spend time on my 3 month old 228i yesterday doing a complete clean and wax - w/ Meguiars Black Wax.
Come out to the car this PM from being in the rain and ugly water stains all over the place. Is there preparation I can do to eliminate this? Thanks. |

Rescue? Doubt it, LOL but offer the help you might not like. First, besides moving to Palm Springs, I bet your car HAS to sit outside...thus a night time rain, then drying brings spots on...same thing if at work, and it rains at 10 and then dries by ride home time. Oddly enough, I actually will wipe it down if still wet before leaving and rain has quite . Even at work in the carpark.
For the dried spots you asked about---you can carry a spray bottle of a good spray on wax or shine spritzer & several microfibers in car boot. Out on a trip or at home, at end of day, just walk around, spritz it good, and wipe it down carefully. The water spots need a good soak though and keep a good layer of wax on surface to simply protect your wiping efforts. Obviously if you have a deep layer of road dirt dried on from the rainy trip home, then it requires something like the "spray wash"---and not a lot of aggressive wiping. And always in the above, use lots of clean sides of microfiber cloth. One ought not take too many swipes with same cloth section over a new paint area. It's the bane of a black car--water spotting and constant care. But, if one has a process, and the carried equipment, and takes 5 minutes to spray and wipe down--much of it can be "rescued" as it were. Each time though. |
