    Great video! Can't believe that Aston Martin story! I parked my car by the sprinklers in my Apt complex recently and today I went and noticed spots all over! I thought I could simply take my Meguiar's instant detailer and spay it on since the car was recently cleaned. That didn't help at all! I was seriously pissed off! I went to the wash and did pre-soak and then powerwash and most came off the side and hood. BUT I still have spots on my roof that would not come off no mater how much Meguiar's Instant detailer I sprayed on.
    I'm going to give this product a try in hopes it gets ride of the spots. Must be a ton of Calcium or something in my city's water. I'm going to be extra careful from now on. Also, I recently waxed my car and that does not help repel at all!
    This did a great job on your wheels! Thanks man

    3D waterspot remover is a POWERFULgel. I used it on my wife's 21 Explorer that had some water spots on the hood after I coated it about a month earlier. Its black and sits outside so it gets the super easy. After I put it on the hood and let it sit for a min or two in the garage and rinse it off. It completely killed the Gtechniq CSL I had her car coated with on the hood.
    I had to recoat her hood after I was done.

    If this is an acidic chemical product I'd hesitate using it on the car's body paint. However, I've used acidic products on wheels and I also use a polymer or acrylic sealant on the wheels as well. If you got a older daily driver I guess it's moot since most drive commercial car washes use water that has an acidic product diluted in it.

    I have water spots on my car that has clearly etched into the clearcoat, because using Gyeon Water did not really do much to resolve it.
    Or it could mean that I have to resort to cutting and polishing with a machine.
    If so, what compound and pad do you recommend to use for removing hard water spots? And what type of car shampoo do I have to use beforehand?

    Hi-Thank you for all you do! Keep up the good work.
    Q: Have some nasty water spots from the rain while camping. I think it's mixed with pine tree sap (?). Will this work for these water spots? The sap came off easier with isopropyl alcohol that the water spots which are nearly impossible with my normal wash/detailing sprays. My car was coated with nano-graphene last year and I'm surprised by this.
    Thank you for any guidance!

    Just for some clarification, water spot remover won’t remove spots that have etched. At that point, you’re dealing with physical clear coat damage which will require paint correction.
    For spots that haven’t etched, I’ve also had good luck with ClearSR from The Last Coat.

    Thanks Josh. It would be good to know how effective this is on paint as you used the wheels as an example. I have used many products to date for water spot removal on my Mazda however I can still see them. They seemed to be etched into the clear coat due to the length of time they have been on the car and no treatment to date has been effective. I would rather not have to wet sand the paint. Visually it seems to be mainly on the bonnet (hood for you US folk) and the roof.
