Does anyone know how to safely remove some dried water marks that might have stained the lips on my Volk GTS? I read the thread about proper care of Rays wheels but there was nothing in there about removing dried up water marks. I know i'm an idiot for having letting it happen in the first place. but my Z is not my Daily driver and it sits under a carcover for weeks at a a time. My lawn sprinklers have seriously OWNED my Volk GTS. Any help is greatly appreciated.

 

Claybar will sometimes work if it's not etched the surface yet. If that doesn't work, try some vinegar - that will dissolve the minerals yet won't harm the finish.

 

For vinegar i use a 50/50 solution with water. Worls great on any water spots anywhere.

 

wheelwax

 

quick detailer+microfiber+elbow grease

 

Wow never knew about the vinegar trick, I'll have to give that a try on mine next time it happens.

 

damn you guys must have some hard *** water. Ive yet to get a water spot that wouldnt come off with just a quick wipe with QD.

 

I had some water marks on my hood that were an absolute ***** to remove, all the quick detailer in the world wouldn't have gotten them out. I tried 50/50 water and vinegar and it still wasn't easy but it worked.

 

I had some horrible water marks in my windows from the car I just purchased. I try vinegar but it didn't work. However, today I went to Home Depot and a lady suggested RUSTAID. So far it has worked, but make sure to read the instructions and have water ready for rinsing. I don't know if it will work on the wheels.

 

that vinegar tip worked like a charm. thanks guys.

 

plus the eff one. vinegar solutions? a little soap and water.

 

+1 on the vinegar. Works great on windows too.
