Quick solution: Avoid water spots when car care
Avoid water spots – this is how to keep your car streak-free.
Water spots after washing your car? We've all been there. Unfortunately, they not only look unsightly, but can also damage the paintwork in the long run. With the right tips and tools, you can easily avoid this.
Why do water stains form in the first place?
In short: limescale and minerals in the water are the culprits. When the water dries, residues such as calcium and magnesium remain on the paintwork – resulting in white spots and streaks.
The key: Proper drying
Most people simply let their car air dry – big mistake! That's exactly where the stains form. The solution: Dry it immediately with a highly absorbent microfiber cloth!
You will need:
- High-quality microfiber cloth (e.g. BigMama XL car drying cloth )
- Optional: Magnetic microfiber cloth for hard-to-reach areas
- Use pure or distilled water for the final rinse.
Here's how - step by step
- Wash car thoroughly
-
Rinse with clean water – preferably with as little limescale as possible.
- Dry gently – without pressure, simply pull.
Tip: Always work from top to bottom to avoid micro-scratches and spreading dirt.
