pdthas Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 It's been 2 weeks after I applied the optimum gloss coat and today I gave it a first wash. It's been sitting outside the whole time and was exposed to several rain storms. Needless to say, it was a bit dirty. However, after I applied the optimum gloss coat, it had a full 24 hours of cure time where it was able to sit outside without any exposure to water. It did rain shortly thereafter though. here's a pic of the spots: http://imgur.com/641fHCb I can't seem to remove it with optimum rinse and shine. It's mostly on the hood of the car if that makes a difference. Any idea what might be going on and how to remove them? Will they disappear by themselves if I leave them alone?

Ron@Optimum Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 The pictures do appear to be water spots. Are you sure they came from rain - true water spots are mineral residue left after water evaporates and come from hard water (sprinklers, hoses, etc) not rain? They may fade in time or you can try to remove with a vinegar solution or Optimum MDR (Mineral Deposit Remover). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdthas Posted April 12, 2016 Author Share Posted April 12, 2016 It could be sprinklers but It seems early in the season for them to be on where I live. If I wait to see if they they will fade in time is it possible that the water spots might etch into the clear coat and become more difficult to remove? Or does the opti gloss coat protect that from happening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
