Is there a way to get water spots off my paint?
What kind of polish do i need to get the chrome on my bumper and mirrors and grill?
I heard kitchen soap was good to wash the truck with before you wax it. is this true?

 

You can use kitchen soap like dawn to clean the paint before you polish/wax. For the water spots, I would start with the clay bar and see if that works. If not I would try some light compound with a Porter Cable or similiar followed by a swirl cutter. That should do it. I'm not sure how "hard" your water is. Here the water is "hard" and spots need to be addressed quickly.

 

"hard"??

 

I knew that was coming. Our water here has alot of calcium in it, what we call "hard". So the water spots are deadly. Does your shower door get hard to see through if you don't clean it all the time? The calcium in the water sticks to the glass shower door and before long you will not be able to see through it!! So, with that same water used to wash the car you could see how the water here is not friendly when it comes to water spots. I have vacationed in other parts of the country and I can tell the difference in the water. Not the best explaination, maybe somebody else has a better way to explain it.

 

Just clay the whole truck. It will make it look really good and get rid of the water spots . As for the hard water A water softener if you got the $$$

 

Ohh and for the chrome I would use Never Dull

 

water contains lots of sediments and minerals, also ruining the taste. (filters extract most of those sediments and minerals so it tastes "pure")

 

When you have soft water you will get a **** load of foam from very little soap as well. If you have to use allot of soap then you most likely have hard water. Not to worry though- Hard or soft it is still wet...

 

 

If the water spots stained the clearcoat, a clay bay will not remove them. They only remove contamination. Like mentioned above, use the Porter Cable polisher. Go to www.adamspolishes.com and look for "swirl & haze remover", then use the green pads on the Porter Cable and your swirls and water spots will be gone. If you need any more help, pm me.
