How To Avoid Water Spots On Your Vehicle

How To Avoid Water Spots On Your Vehicle

Water spots are one of the most frustrating things for anyone who loves a spotless vehicle. Luckily, there are easy strategies you can follow to avoid them altogether. Let’s first understand what causes them and how you can prevent them.

What Are Water Spots and Why Do They Happen?

Water spots occur when hard water (water with high mineral content) dries on your vehicle's surface. The minerals are left behind, creating those dreaded white spots, whether on the paint or glass.

Here’s How to Prevent Them:

  1. Wash When Cool: Avoid washing your car when it’s hot. A warm surface causes water to evaporate quickly, leaving mineral spots behind before you can dry it off.

  2. Wash in the Shade: The sun can heat up your vehicle’s surface, causing water to evaporate before you have time to towel-dry it. Washing in a shaded area gives you more time to clean.

  3. Use Slick Wash & Wax: Slick Wash & Wax not only cleans but also adds a protective wax layer. It helps create a barrier between your vehicle’s surface and harmful minerals, dirt, and other contaminants.

  4. Keep Your Vehicle Wet: Try to keep your vehicle wet throughout the wash to prevent water from drying on the surface. After you finish, use a shammy towel to remove large droplets, then buff with our Slick Microfiber Towel for a perfect finish.
