Well i drive a black RA and was wondering how do ppl remove / prevent rainspots other than well obviously avoid rain or drying the car everytime after a rainy day

thanks

 

i'm not sure because i don't have it but maybe the mr. clean wash? lol, maybe when it rains it'll kinda just wash off the car or something? i have no idea what i'm talking about.. i'm at work and i'm bored as hell.

 

I use Maguire’s quick detailer. It works really well especially if the car was just waxed or washed before it rained. Just be sure there is not much dirt or grit on the paint. Just spray it on and wipe it off. You can do the entire car in less than ten minutes.

 

which kind of wax is the best for preventing rainspots? cuz the turtle wax platnium series or w/e sucks at preventing rainspots...

 

Not trying to jack your thread or anything, but what products would ya'll recommend for water spots on the windows. That's my only problem with water spots (having a sliver Lancer). I don't have tinted windows, yet. But I've tried amoenia-free windex, invisible shield, etc. But nothing has seemed to do a bit of good. Any success stories or recommendations... Plan on getting these windows in pristine condition before the tint is applied. Thanks.

 

clay works wonders.

 

Yes it does. I use it twice a year. It gets rid waterspots without a problem.

 

clay? first time hearing about this? you wipe your windows with clay or how do you do this, what brand, how much, only twice a year? lol, i'm so lost (o_O)" hahaha (i'm still at work)

 

and it doesn't hurt the tint?

 

they're talking about the clay bar stuff you can pick up at autozone. It gets rid of dirt and other stuff off of the car without harming the paint

 

tint is on the inside of your window(hopefully), and the waterspots are on the outside(hopefully), so it should be fine.

 

omg i'm an idiot (about the tint thing). so you jsut wipe clay all over the body and windows? do you have to wax after? sorry, i'm in canada and i don't think we have an autozone..?

 

i believe Canadian Tire would have clay available
so are waxes suppose to PREVENT rainspots?

 

I don't know about prevent totally.. there will always be the marks where dust settled in the little drops of water and dries, or minerals leave marks. (or acid rain). But to prevent rainspots, after it gets done raining, go out with a shammy cloth and get all the water off your car. Thats what I usually do if I don't want spots. (if I just washed my car) But if its dirty and it rains, I usually wash it the next day. But I notice a nice coat of polishing wax does help from it actually making marks in the clear coat.

 

you also have to realize some places have different type of water

for example where im orig from the water was "hard" and even if you had just washed your car and let the water dry it would spot up but where im at now the car could be dirty as hell and if it rains (which it always does) you can let it air dry and no spots because the water is "softer"

point is, just wash and wax regularly and your paint will be fine

I use Meguires quik detailer and it works really well if you want to just do a quik wipedown after a rain or something
