Default Looking for Help Preventing Water Spots on my Coach

Water spots can be a real pain in the butt on the coach. Can anyone tell me how to prevent them?

A waterless cleaner should do the trick.

Using a quality soap can help prevent water spots because they often contain an additive that softens the water.

It's a bit more work but drying off the coach after washing it will prevent water spots. Save your finish, and the hassle, by drying.

Dry quickly and try washing in smaller areas and major key here -don’t let it sun dry.

Remember water spots can’t be eliminated entirely although it would be nice wouldn't it? You can only take the steps mentioned to minimize them.

Yeah Pete is right. Take it to the professionals and they will get it as close to water spot free as you'd like.

Don’t use too much soap. use a quality soap and rinse well when washing and dry well with microfiber cloths.
