Epic Battle with hard Water Stains
Spent much of the day battling hard-water stains from my sprinklers. unfortunately i let them bake a year in the vegas sun. Started out with Clay Bar. That worked pretty well, but there was a lot of it and it was thick. Then i finally caved and went with vinegar water 50/50 solution. Soaked a cloth in it and held it against the truck. This eventually broke most of it loose. I would work a section, rince it off, towel dry then move on. When the affected areas were done. I went over the whole area with turtle wax. (Little Green Tub, not the liquid stuff) I'm very happy with the results and it is 95% gone. Next weekend i'll probabbly do it all again.
