The limescale stains on the bodywork are a real nightmare!

With a car exposed to rain, it can happen that you encounter that annoying problem of limescale stains on the bodywork , which is no small problem!
In fact, once dry water creates unsightly limescale stains which, if not removed immediately, can lead to irreparable damage. Much importance must also be given in the car wash phase, the use of calcareous water with inadequate drying can be fatal for the finish of the paint, glass and chrome of your car. For this reason, if possible, we recommend using a limescale removal filter e.g. Water softener Aquatravel Wash to be attached to the water pipe.
Limescale or any acid rain, can corrode the clearcoat in a short time, ruining the finish of the paint.

Where to start to remove limescale stains?

First of all, it is important to protect the paint with a good protective agent, preferably a nanotechnology-based protective agent (more resistant than waxes) such as Innovacar Sc0 Hydro Sealant , Innovacar Sc1 Sealant or Wowo's Crystal Sealant this protective layer, allows to delay the corrosion, giving you time to remove contamination before it's too late.

How to remove limescale stains on the bodywork?

There are 2 ways to remove these stains:

Proceed to a complete wash with Innovacar Ds Scale , a shampoo specially created to remove stains and layering limestone or acid rain, this is the primary choice to make ... if the stains do not go away, you can proceed with polishing.

Our advice is to carry out a careful analysis of the surface (even with the help of a microscope) to establish how much the drops have actually penetrated inside the transparent, subsequently after analyzing the damage it is possible proceed with the polishing of the support. Based on experience and skills, if the damage is very serious, it will be necessary to proceed with sanding with different grits (1500/2000/3000) to level the surface and finally polish with abrasive pastes until the surface is smooth and brilliant as before.
The complete removal of the damage occurs where possible only with the use of a polisher (by hand it is not possible to correct the defect).

Regardless of the type of solution chosen, it is advisable to carry out a check at high temperatures: the limescale marks could in fact re-emerge when the car is exposed to the heat of the sun's rays. For this reason, we recommend carrying out a few cycles with IR lamps in order to simulate this event and be sure not to see the damage reappear.
