I used this on a clients SUV. Heavy Water spots on paint, trim, windows, and glass roof. I washed the car as normal. Rinsed off soap. While vehicle was still wet, I took an applicator and went to work. A couple of small drops on the applicator really did go a long way and IT WORKED!! After I did the entire vehicle, I washed as normal, dried it off, and called it a day. Im not a big CG fan but the WSR really does work well. No complaints from me
It depends on how long the water spots have been there, if its more than 3-5 days, nothing will get it off outside of a compound/polish/paint correction. Once those minerals etch themselves it, it's very tough to get them out. In some instances, you will have to wet sand and possible (worst case) re-coat the car.
Used this water spot remover Just three weeks ago for first time. Followed correct directions by watching Chemical Guys video. My black suv had water spots from at least two years old. This product was easy to use and the results were amazing!. After using it I used their wet look glaze, again easy. Then put on Wolfgang Fusion Wax and to finish it off Xtreme Topper. The vehicle has a wet mirror like finish best I have ever had. I will always use CG Heavy Duty Spot Remover from now on.
@@pedroorozco3079put It on my windows. Got rid of my water spots from the previous owner and not I keep the car protected etc. just follow the directions and you’ll be fine.
Everything from Chemical Guys is awesome. I’m building my Product Arsenal with their products. I’m yet to get the Water Spot Remover. I think this will be my next purchase. Thankyou for the review.
Didn’t touch the watermarks on my black audi. Had to use a DA with compound. They were etched in. One hose on one sunny day for a brief moment etched the paint. 😡
DA its the last resource, not the Best way to take it off. Generally I use Meguiars heavy oxidación remover by hand or IGL Delete. This work fine, today I Just bought CG HWSR, so I Will see how it work. Probably Will work. Im a CG supplier but not a fan on all CG product lines. My Arsenal has a lot of brands inside.
If they're etched deep enough in the clear coat, compounding is the only way to take them out. You should still use a chemical beforehand to dissolve solve the hard minerals which compounding will not do.
It works for me on black paint. Water spots that had been on the car for several years. You dont have to scrub it on. Just wipe a liberal amount and let it set for 30 sec. or a minute and use a detail spray to wipe it off.
Thanks. Any recommendation for the soapy water or what liquid should be using ? My apartment complex water sprinkler spoiled My Ford Explorer and Avalon.
Thanks for the video. May I ask how long the water spots were on the car? Is this for heavy situations like water spots on the car over years where it’s etched into the paint or are we talking just water appointments from the day or week’s previous wash in the sun or sprinklers a few days/weeks ago?
OMG, the hood metal is sooooo thin!!! It moves when he wipes it! OMG!! Besides, if he's having water spot issues so bad, why is he keeping the vehicle under a tree and / or next to sprinklers that the water hits and dries in such spots AND why hasn't he applied a finish material such as a fine wax or other finish that easily allows for the water to be removed? Why isn't the vehicle covered so the finish isn't damaged by water spotting?
Now, you just need to apply the jet seal for paint sealant and protection. Good work. But... Man, that's what dry brushing looks like. Good video. But atleast, please wash your car first or just throw a bucket of water to loosen all the dirts a little. You just sprayed, wiped and simply sanded your hood, bruh!😅
Distilled water would a water spot preventer, not a remover. And no one has that much distilled water available on hand unless you buy it by the gallon. Deionized water would be much easier and cheaper to make and would work just as well.
Distilled water and white vinegar applied after washing and clay barring would work well. A 50/50 mixture applied with a soft sponge that has soaked in this mixture. Allow to dwell on the surface, rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.
Work smarter not harder! If they are etched water spots on paint or glass start with a clay bar and ALWAYS first and foremost wash your vehicle before you do more damage to the paint.
@ chem guy fan boy keep ur mouth shut. Everyone knows their product is trash bet u use to be armorall and thought chem guy was the best out there. Bozo

Do not put on windows
@@pedroorozco3079put It on my windows. Got rid of my water spots from the previous owner and not I keep the car protected etc. just follow the directions and you’ll be fine.
@@pedroorozco3079 Is there a reason not to use on windows? I was thinking of getting this product for my rear windows to clear the water spots
Is the HD spot remover safe on chrome bumper and grill?
@pedroorozco3079 it says on the bottle that it's safe on glass.

Using it wrong. Wash vehicle, dry, use detail spray, apply spot remover, let sit a few seconds, detail spray again and wipe off.
You could also wash, spray on before drying and dry while it's on there. Then detail spray instead of using detail spray twice.
@@stevenwitte769 so wash the car? Let it dry and then spray? Or wash and spray immediately after then dry car?
You don’t need to spray it with detail spray you just have to buff off the excess
@@borgolgisauce2373you have to neutralize It with soap and water or a spray.
Lmaooo ‘uses it wrong’ but gets the job done. Pretty sure my guy did it just fine
I've been wondering about this product, thanks for the actual hands on proof! saved me some time and money 😁
REALLY?
what gets well water off a car? my white truck was soaked at a friends place by well water and now there are brown stains all over 😢
Thanks. Any recommendation for the soapy water or what liquid should be using ?
My apartment complex water sprinkler spoiled My Ford Explorer and Avalon.
No, not really! It covers up spots but doesn’t remove them! Better to use another product!!
You have to wash the car first, like this you’re scratching the paint
Wash and dry before? Or works on a wet panel?
I would say dry also, but this crap doesn’t work anyways.

@@user-in8xx1xu5b well apparently it did work , maybe watch the vid again

The water spots where on there for like 3 months if I was you I’ll give it a try

Shut up Penelope
I used this on my boat windows and no it didn't work for me but I do like the Chemical guys other products.
Try clay bar first . Your hood sounds like you're sanding it
I was screaming at him WHAT ARE YOU DOING
Didn’t work on my car glass
It doesn’t work on vinyl stickers
Can i used it on windshield?
Yup. Works great on glass
Yes you can
What about your hands? Did they survive?
Didn't work on vinyl wrap
As a professional detailer, all I use is Chemical Guys. 😉
I tried it it doesn't work
If it doesn’t work the water spot probably started to edged in the clear coat only way to remove it is machine polishing

Imma try it, thank you.
The best water spot remover is distilled water when washing car because it contains no minerals which causes water spots.
Distilled water would a water spot preventer, not a remover. And no one has that much distilled water available on hand unless you buy it by the gallon. Deionized water would be much easier and cheaper to make and would work just as well.
Distilled water and white vinegar applied after washing and clay barring would work well.
A 50/50 mixture applied with a soft sponge that
has soaked in this
mixture. Allow to dwell on the surface, rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.
@@cfm17hellcat11 Vinegar does Not work very well on hard water spots that are over a month old.

Dude wash the car first. This is painful to watch. Remind me to never have you around my vehicle
