In addition to being unsightly, many people don\u2019t realize water spots can also damage your paint over time. Water spots are a common car woe, but the good news is they can be prevented with proper prevention and care. The experts at Super Star Car Wash have answers to your top water spot questions below:\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">What causes hard water spots?<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Water spots typically appear on your car when minerals are present in the water &#8211; like calcium and magnesium &#8211; evaporate, leaving behind deposits. This crusty, whitish residue can come from rain drops or other water sources your car comes into contact with. These spots are particularly visible on dark-colored cars because they contrast with the car&#8217;s color. The same thing happens if you have hard water in your home. Over time, you may notice a white buildup on your faucets, shower heads, and kitchen utensils.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Why should you avoid hard water spots?<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Minerals like calcium and magnesium aren\u2019t harmful to humans, but they can cause things to break down more quickly &#8211; including car paint. If not properly treated, water spots can eventually soak through the clear top coat of the paint, creating small indents. Over time, these depressions can get bigger, causing permanent paint damage, rust and deterioration.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">How do you prevent water spots on your car?\u00a0<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Preventing water spots is easier than you might think:<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Dry your car thoroughly with microfiber cloths: <\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">After washing, use a microfiber towel to dry your car completely. Water left to air dry can leave spots as it evaporates. Drying your car with rags, regular towels, or clothing is not recommended because of the lint they leave behind. That\u2019s why Super Star Car Wash always offers the FREE use of microfiber towels at every location.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">At Super Star Car Wash, we understand the importance of having a spotless vehicle. That\u2019s why our top-of-the-line equipment is designed to give you the cleanest, driest car, every single time. In fact, the drying system as you exit the tunnel is so effective, you may only need to do some minor touch ups with the free microfiber towels to get a flawless end result.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Avoid sunlight as much as possible: <\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The heat of the sun causes water to dry quickly and unevenly across the surface of your car. This can result in a streaky finish and lots of water spots that become difficult to remove. Park your car in a shaded area to avoid direct sunlight, which can hasten water spot formation.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Stay away from sprinklers: <\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Sprinklers are one of the worst culprits of water spots on your car. Do your best to avoid parking in front of sprinkler heads (like a grassy area or a park). Hoses, puddles and other groundwater can also leave pesky water spots behind. Do your best to keep your vehicle dry, and give it a good wash promptly after coming into contact with hard water sources. Super Star Car Wash uses reverse osmosis to filter our water and strip it of minerals, so you\u2019re guaranteed a spot free rinse every time.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Wash and wax regularly: <\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Creating a good habit of washing and waxing your car not only makes your ride look fantastic, but it also protects your car from damage and deterioration. Washing and waxing your vehicle often creates a protective layer on your car, making it harder for water spots to stick.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">How do you treat water spots?<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">You can probably guess where this is going, right?
