Just closed on the new house and went to do some painting. They were watering the sod, so i avoided the water but got sprayed on the hood and right side of the car. Just went to wash and wax the car and noticed that the water that got on my car ate the clear coat off the car. Where ever there was a drop on the car it made a nice little clear cirlce. Must of been the acid in the pipes. It's a new house. Im pretty pissed its an 06 with 2000 miles. Im ready to call the builder... Any suggestions?

 

it'll come off easily with clay bar.

 

If you have a good polish/wax base on it should wash off with a little more scrubbing than normal. If not then you may need to give it a good washing with dawn and a complete polish/wax to remove the water spots and prevent them in the future; to some extent anyways.

When I had new windows put in the house someone had messed with my sprinkler head and my car got sprayed. I washed the car with dawn dish washing soap which is a little stronger than normal car suds. Then did a fresh polish/wax job that early evening. Now water just runs off the car and what is left doesn’t make any marks/spots.

 

Before you take a abrasive polish to your car, try these two things.

1) White vinegar diluted 50%. Wipe the solution on or leave the wet cloth spread out over an area. The vinegar dissolves the minerals left by the water.

2) The claybar. It will remove water spots.

If those fail, then consider mild polish.

 

If I were you, I would call the builder since they are liable for this and have him pay for a professional detailer's services.

do it urself, dont call the builder. Letting someone try to solve ur problem can lead to an even bigger mess.
