<hello all,
My question is with a problem that has accurred with my Alpine's
paint.
It seems my neighbor thinks he needs to water his lawn (and mine too)
even though it rains here every 3 days; the water from the sprinkler
sprayed the trunk of my car this morning. It is 85 degrees and bright
sun today - the results are now I have white water spots all over my
trunk lid. These spots will not rub out of the paint. The paint is a
10 yr. old carnival red lacquer that was still in showroom condition
until this morning.
Question - will these water spots "lift" out on their own or will
a body shop have too be involved. Is this common or is it just my
bad luck ?
Any advice would be appreciated ...
thanks in advance ,

Hi Jeff,
the water spots are from minerals in the tap water that have distilled out
when the water evaporated. I would first try thoroughly washing the car,
and if the spots are still there, I would try using a mild polishing
compound to take out the spots. Another method I've heard of, but never
tried is using a HIGHLY DILUTED mixure of vinegar and water.
Good luck.
Tom
