Help with water mark removal.

[Charlie Farley]

Afternoon chaps, I was going to put this in detailing but decided this section may be slightly faster with replies.
Anyway, I have today commited a cardinal sin, well in my book that is.
I had my old bus washed in a so called hand car wash centre, I was pushed for time doing it myself due to other commitments and stupidly decided to pull in one local to me and get the old bus washed ,man what a mistake that turned out to be.
Upon getting home the wife said , whats all the white marks on the car, I jumped out and the old bus is covered in water marks, despite them drying it .
The brightwork looks terrible .
I've sorted the paintwork but the marks on door trims ,roof rails etc wont budge.
So before I go out and shoot myself for making such a stupid mistake, what is the approved method to deal with said problem.
I never , ever use these places and the one time I do, it all goes tits up...

Helpppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp me.

Did you try using an APC on them. I'd try something as simple as Megs APC followed by a pre-cleanser fluid and then a QD etc. Should sort it out.

 

[Scotty75]

Something like CarPro Perl should sort that out mate

 

[Scotty75]

If you're referring to plastic trims that is

 

[Charlie Farley]

It's all the chrome and ally finish parts.
window surrounds roof rails etc.
Its not a new bus but touch wood I've kept it free from water marks thus far, well until now that is.

 

[Scotty75]

The price you pay for going v to the Scar Wash mate

 

[Scotty75]

Perl for the plastics and rubber , QD Spray for the chrome etc.should be good

 

[Charlie Farley]

once burn, never again.

As simple as Meguiars All Purpose Cleaner or something similar like Bilt Hamber Surfex HD but diluted. Any QD to be honest. Again, Sonax BSD, Done & Dusted or any wax you have. Clean with the APC and coat with QD/Wax.
