If you've noticed stubborn water spots appearing on your car, you're not alone. These marks aren't just unsightly—they can also damage your vehicle’s paint if left untreated. At Lions Gate Detailing, we specialize in removing and preventing water spots, especially considering Vancouver’s frequent rain and coastal humidity.
What Causes Water Spots?
Water spots are usually caused by mineral deposits left behind when water evaporates. Common culprits include:
Rainwater mixed with airborne pollutants
Sprinkler systems
Improper drying after a wash
In the Vancouver area, frequent rains and salt-laden coastal air intensify these issues.
The Risks of Ignoring Water Spots
Leaving water spots unattended can result in permanent etching into your clear coat. Over time, this can lead to costly paint repairs. Regular detailing and timely removal of these spots prevent long-term damage and preserve your car’s value.
How to Remove Water Spots
