Default strong watermark problems...

few days ago some workers were pouring concrete nearby, and most of that dust got mixed with some water and got my car all dirty... most of it was dried up and made a mess.

i tried a basic car wash but it didn't work. i was told i needed to do a full detail (something i don't do anymore since i don't have time). is this right? maybe some claybar and paint cleaner and wax should do the job? but how about the windows? how would i go about to remove that?

any help would be appreciated, thanks

here are some pics i took, it might be a little hard to see some of it (super sunny outside lol).

clay for the paint, you should be able to use stronger chemicals on the glass.

I think you should try it out with polishing wax or any car cleaning bar.I guess the marks would go.Good luck!

razor on the glass with water or glass cleaner should take care of the windows. A good 45 degree angle with blade on the glass so the don't chip it.... take your time it will come off. The same thing happened to me.

as for the paint use the clay bar for starters. A simple rubbing compound will help on the paint if you have lots of time to buff and wax when done..

Good Luck!

Light steel wool and some scratch remover works great for me for the windows and clay bar and wax for the paint
