Has anyone found a way to remove these nasty stains from the car's paint? I know that plenty can be done to prevent them. But once the damage is done - can it be reveresed? I have personally tried to claybar the s___ out of my hood, but no luck. Please, share your remedies!

 

You mean dried up water stains? Is so car polish has worked for me.

 

your going have to buff it out but make sure you dont burn the paint

 

Best option is a thorough wash and wax, sometimes even one or two decent washes.

Also, more tedious, but washing, then claybaring and waxing is even better and the claybar should do most of the work, you just need to be careful since you can chip/scratch the paint if you use it too rough.

If anything, if you have the cash, you could go to a detail place and pay like $50-$60 for a good detail, I am sure they can get it out and save you the trouble.

 

Depends on how bad it is, try buffing and claying first if that does not work there is a sure way to get it off. But you won't like it and let me say that I have professionally detailed for 5years, you would need a yellow scrubby for cars a wheel acid we would mix it to 25% acid to 75% water or if it was really bad 50-50. Put that in a sprayer do a small section spray the area the scrub the area then rise it off, when done put a coat of wax on. Trust me when I learn and was told how to I was like what, But it does work and and does not harm the paint. Just make sure rise it off and stay away from chrome and stainless trim, could discolor it. Make sure the car is wet before spraying the acid on.

 

Typically I just take steps to ensure I dont get them to begin with.. but sometimes it just happens. Normally I get them with a buffer while waxing it.

If you have them on the glass. Vinegar will take them right off. But be careful with it, since if it gets on the paint and sits it can do some amount of damage.
