What does everybody use to get the Water Spots off?:(

How do you keep the Water Spots off?:)

Re: Water Spots

The black and red Baja I used to own was wiped down every time right after it came out of the water. I used a good wax to also keep the water from setting in one place. With this procees it was easy to keep the boat clean and water spot free.

Re: Water Spots

when we are in the keys, and have the boat at the dock, it is washed down every evening, dried and covered. then we have a clean, non sticky boat in the morning.

Re: Water Spots

You are dealing with 'hard water' i.e. mineral deposits. Almost a necessity to wipe her down after the bath. Besides, she'll thank you for it in the long run.:D

I do wash and wipe it down every time I pull it out. Do I need to use a chamois rather than a towel? Only the painted surfaces shows the water spots.


My boat stays three weeks in the water at a time then the Blue stern, Swim Platform and Freeboard (see Avatar) spots so bad it looks like a speckled bass. I wind up waxing again just to get the water spots off. I just bought some Collinite Insulator wax to try. They say it's the same as Collinite 925. I have been using Meguire's Premium Boat Wax the past three years.

My Boat is a 1986, It Looks New, I'm Fussy,I Intend to stay that way but I do use the Boat a lot . I put 85 hours on the hour meter last year and I probably put 200 on the boat.

Re: Water Spots

Thanks Ziggy I just ordered two 32 oz bottles.
Not a Bad price and free shipping.
