Hard water spots - Clear coat or Ceramic coating?

So after removing the spots from my washing mistake, I should have known I'd see more "stuff" on the paint. Saw those older water spots that look like they've etched the paint. Out comes the orbital buffer and some polishing compound. Nope. Maybe a few were removed. Got online and saw reviews and videos of Sud Factory Dissolve Paint Water Spot Killer. Received it today.....HOLY CRAP!! It worked! Don't know if anyone else has tried it but sure did the job on mine. Ain't cheap. $35 but if you get the results they claim, Worth It!!

Good to know! Mine eventually faded away. Though I'm sure it could happen again if I'm parked near the sprinklers at work and there's wind.

Did you need the buffer to use the Sud Factory?
 
Micro fiber cloth by hand to apply and one to remove. Little bit of pressure applying but nothing extreme. Oh.....It smells like orange peels.😀

That's acid and corrosive, I'd rinse the area with some water and baking soda mix to deactivate the acid when you're done
2 components:
Phosphoric Acid
Ammonium bifluoride
 
I tried one of those. It was only marginally better than not having it. I picked up a deionizer off Amazon and that works great. The resin beads that came with it were enough for the entire season if you use it just for the final rinse. I also picked up an air cannon for drying the car off. No more spots even on a black truck.

Mike, you were right. Didn't really see a difference. Always trying the cheap and easy way first......just in case😀
