Hard water is water that has high mineral content (mainly calcium and magnesium ions) (in contrast with soft water). Hard water minerals primarily consist of calcium (Ca2+), and magnesium (Mg2+) metal cations, and sometimes other dissolved compounds such as bicarbonates and sulfates. Calcium usually enters the water as either calcium carbonate (CaCO3), in the form of limestone and chalk, or calcium sulfate (CaSO4), in the form of other mineral deposits. The predominant source of magnesium is dolomite (CaMg(CO3)2).

A waterspot is a mineral deposit left on any surface that is allowed to air dry. Waterspot formation is affected by the mineral content of your local water supply. The serverity of the spot is directly affected by the specific minerals or "suspended solids" which are contained in your local water supply. The Sodium level of the water has a very large affect on the severity of a water spot.

Water spots form when a surface that has been washed is allowed to air dry. If a surface is allowed to dry in the sun, water spots will be more severe as the heat causes the suspended solids (minerals) within the water to "bake" onto the surface. The type of surface will also affect the severity of the water spots--more "slippery" surfaces are less likely to hold spots although generally they are softer and more prone to etching.

What does this mean? Basically, if you wash your car in the sun and don't dry it with a towel or shammy, the minerals in your local water supply are going to bake onto your car and when the water is gone the minerals will live on--you will have water spots on your paint and windows.

We see a lot of cars with water spots as a result of parking next to sprinklers, so it doesn't just happen when you wash the car. Generally, rain doesn't leave bad waterspots because the mineral content of rain (with the exception of chemical rain) is much lower than that of water that comes out of the ground. There are number of methods of how to get rid off of the waterspots, but all of them are useless or not safe for your car paint.

We offer professional help. The complete hard water removing services starts just from $ 50.00 and up depending on how bad the water spots are and how much surface they are covered. Call us today and make an appointment to restore your car's beauty.

REMEMBER: if you leave the hard water spots onto your car surface, they will eventually etch the paint or window.

DO NOT use acid or distilled vinegar to remove the hard water spots as it is dangerous for your clear coat and paint. Leave this job to professionals.
