Is the product safe for removing hard water spots off of vehicle paint? The website references removing oxidation from painted surfaces.

We have not used this on a vehicle and don't recall what the small print on the box said (or tube either). For our brushed stainless sink it is disappointing. If you try it on a vehicle, find a very inconspicuous spot to try it. Also check with dealer for your make vehicle.

I have used it on my fiberglass motorcycle fairing and it works great. That said, I do not think that it is designed to remove accumulated oxidation...probably best to use some other type of mild abrasive product first...

This product is safe on all colors. Streaking is normal. If u don't have patience you should not be washing or waxing your own vehicle. high streaking is cause by over spray. This is perfectly fine. continue to buff the spot by hand with a cloth/towel (paint safe) and the streaking will go away. Keep in mind if your doing this in the sun it will take more time and patience to remove. My best advice is to wash in direct sunlight pull into a shaded area, and wait for paint to cool down. Lightly mist the spraywax one panel at a time. Use cloth (paint safe) to rub in and spread then use dry side to buff.

It worked great on my car. It even removed oil stains. I did not notice any harm or unwanted color changes. Try a small spot. This product removed the stains instantly. If can do harm, you will notice it instantly. Hope this helps.

I haven't tried it for that but I would doubt it. Its chemistry is such that it dissolves grease, fats, oils, and sebum. Although it doesn't react with the minerals in water the way way that soaps do, I still don't think it's the best thing for removing "water spots" ((which actually are small amounts of minerals left behind when the water evaporates from a droplet)). If you have a lot of mineral build-up, you need something designed to remove minerals, such as Lime-Away of CLR. But for light spotting, use: a bit of ammonia diluted in water (especially distilled water, which you can buy from the grocery), vinegar, or commercial cleaners made specifically to clean glass.

Yes. Even a brand new car will have impurities on its surface. Consider how log it takes to get it to a dealer from the factory; then it sits on the dealer's lot gathering dust, even if the dealer doesn't put any garbage wax on it.....It's always advisable to apply a thin (!!!) layer of Klasse AIO before using the glaze.

Define safe. It won't peel the paint off, but might dissolve any wax residue on the surface and make for an ineffective mess if that isn't stripped off first. Further as the seller mentioned if a layer thick enough to be effective is used it will create a hazy surface which looks little if any better than a little road grime you wash away periodically.

I don't believe this wax has a cleaning agent nor do I know if it is recommended for fiberglass. As a cleaner, I have used Meguiar's Cleaner & Wax for my autos. But again, I don't know if it would be recommended for fiberglass. You should Google Meguiar's & inquire what they would recommend to clean oxidation from your boat.

MY husband does all sort of auto detail work his reply is..." as with any sort of plastic enhancer/preserver you need to remove any sort of over spray or wipe over on to painted surfaces as soon as possible. However, none of such products including this one, will do anything more than leave a light film on today's clear coat paints. This product being extremely thin in consistency will wipe off rather quickly should you happen to get any on any painted surface. Any such items IF left on a painted surface are usually very easily removed using a light wiping of things such as wd40, bug tar remover, or even conventional rubbing alcohol. I might add, anytime any such mild solvent is used to remove anything from a painted surface, an fresh application of wax over the cleaned surface is a best practice.

Yes it's safe. I used it to remove the leftover stickiness after I removed my emblem.

I'm not sure how safe it is on products that aren't "painted". On a side note, I don't really recommend this product at all. I had it on a Black Tahoe and to me, it didn't help. Waxing would've been better. Everytime I ran through the carwash or handwashed my rig, if I didn't instantly towel dry I ended up with tons of spots.

It does remove water spots along with dealing with oxidation. Great product!!!!!!

It doesn't say there are any cleaners in it. That is the main reason I use it. It says it is just Carnauba wax plus protecting polymers to protect your finish. It also says clear coat safe & safe for all finishes. It is hard to find any wax without cleaners in it. I think it works good & is safe for your cars finish.

It should be ok to use on automotive paint the description says "Solvent-based formula will not harm most cured automotive paints and it also is suitable for vinyl glass surfaces. It also says it removes sap.

No, this is just a wax. This company, however, does make a cleaner which may help with the oxidation.

Being that it is light surface rust you may be able to get away without etching. I've done a few motorcycle tanks that had a bit of surface rust and I was able to line with red kote without issue. Now this depends on whether that surface rust is oxidized enough that it will flake without much disturbance ie. Shaking it around to coat with the liner. My opinion is that, following the directions on the product, you will be able to line the vw tank without much if any draw backs from the surface rust. Hope this puts you in the right direction!

I'm a professional detailer and must say I'm not a big fan of the "red bottle", I have used Meguiar's Ultimate Quick Detailer many times and find it to be really good but if you want the best of the best for the same money you gotta try Duragloss Aquawax which is really a spray sealant, it will leave your paint very slick, I always use it on my customers cars before they pick it up, you can buy it here at Amazon, please trust me when I say it's the best.
