Calcium / Bore Water
 

Hi guys,

I have just moved into my new unit complex, which unfortunately uses bore water for it's reticulation. Soon after moving in my car has horrible calcium drips on it, and a fine orange shade due to the bore water.

I can't stand it. Investing in a car cover soon for my rexy. I am wondering if you guys have any good tips / cleaning products to remove these stains? Also, is it safe to attempt to use CLR on a car?

I just called up a few car detailing prices on bore removal and they are too pricey for me at the moment, so if you guys have any good easy fixes I would be in your debt.

Thanks heaps :)

So it turned out a product called "clay bar" helped OlisSTI remove his bore water stains. I don't know anything about this stuff.

Where do you reckon I could pick some up? If it's easily attainable that would be great. :)

Looks promising! I shall go out tomorrow and pick some up. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction DZENCI :thumbsup:

This stuff works AMAZING on glass in removing etching/bore staining:

You will probably find the clay bar will remove the colour but you will still have some etching present (after it's eaten a small amount of the clear ontop of your paint). Would normally need a polish (minor cut) to follow to remove this.

Please note: A clay bar removes all contaminates/dirt/crap out of the paint. In doing so it also removes all the good stuff (wax/sealant). Please follow up the clay bar with a wax to restore some sort of protection (I seem to find most people rave about how they 'clay barred' their car.. and followed with nothing).

try aluminum brightner, but dilute 1 to 5 use sponge, wash as you go then polish, works a treat, on the red dirt from up north
