I used a directional mic so I apologize for less than ideal sound. Also, I did not scratch the paint during this process (which would be "acceptable" because of its horrible condition). The "scratchy" sound is the deposits on top of the other deposits. However, if you do scratch the paint, which is to be expected, just compound/polish that area afterwards. It depends on how hard/soft the paint is beforehand. Hope this give you an idea about pH/acidic/basic knowledge for detailing. Thank you! -L

Trying to start my own detailing business, your videos are absolute gold, thank you so much for everything. Your my new mentor ^^

Windu I’ve detailed my whole life. Even on the side. Nothing ever made me feel so fulfilled my friend. I just went through Thyroid Cancer and think the chemicals might have caused it? I dunno. My point is make sure you wear gloves as he does. Make sure you understand the chemicals you are using like he does. He knows his stuff. Good luck and glove up.

Windu so how's it going so far?

Thanks for your video. I had the calcium deposits on my Mercedes before and I paid a guy here in Canada who owns a body shop $1000. It happened again last week and then I found your video and did what you suggested. My car looks new again. I am a lady who is happy now thanks to you. 🙏🙏🙏

The lime ( lemon) method that someone mentioned on here is cheap, highly effective and won’t damage your paint. It is best to move on it as soon as possible. Underground garage parking Is a major problem especially in older buildings and where the owners don’t seem much to care.

8 mintes and I have no idea what I'm looking at.

Larry, you're a badass! I swear whenever I have car care issues I find your channel. Gonna start voting with my dollars and buying your products for my own car.

Larry your stuff never seems to disappoint me :-D. AmmoNYC is the best!!

Love your video's, I've been a detailer for almost 10 years and I can't wait to buy some of your products and try them out

I love your videos, keep them coming! What solution did you use on the calcium and hard water stains?

great tips in this video! I hope I never have that happen to my car. Can't wait to get your products. Iv been watching for quite a while and your products will be my xmas present to myself. Keep up the great work and videos!

Hi, Larry, what kind of clay did you use on this car? Thank you!

Larry you are the best at detailing :)

I had lime/calcium deposits on my car from the parking garage at Ohare. I just poured coffee pot scale remover over the deposits and they came right off. This was after the deposits were on after 2-months. This worked perfect and does no damage to the clear coat paint.

Good work, Larry. Excellent outcome!

Whats product? very interesting

Hi Larry. I just wanted to ask I've got a pretty similar problem with my Audi A3 2014. I just wanted to find out what you using because I'm trying out baking powder and vinegar, it seems to work but not all the way though. Please help out. Bruce

Great video!! I'm a professional detailer as well, and my secret is to spray Meguiars Wheel Brightener on the paint to remove hard water spots.

Awesome video as per usual. Thank you and keep it up!

Interesting & fun as always! Thanks for sharing Larry.

I really like your video very informative you made it easy to understand and I like the science behind it. Also your method slow and steady, I get it you can't rush it. Thanks

Love your videos and your podcasts.......maybe someday you could have a contest and have your products as prizes. I'd love to try your stuff, but I have 2 kids in college and don't have a bunch of extra money floating around :-)

Do you have a recommendation for removing calcium from aluminum rims?

Great video and so well presented thanks

Great Video, very professional.

AMMO NYC I love and like your show man , you shows us how to go down on this cars.

+1 for using a lemon for this. Cut it into half, squeeze and rub. Works like magic, took me under 2 mins to fix this on my car windshield.

ok. this one looks good job. But what kind of spot water removal did you use? can you give a name? when I shop around every store has its own brand....what is that one did you use? thanks

Hey man! Great vid! Do you have a video on how to remove dried cement on car's paint and windshield/windows? Thanks!

another Great video! i love youre wheel cleaner.. try it last week at a friend house!

Would you consider using vinegar or a 50/50 vinegar water mix to get this effect?

So I'm just wondering how you use the razor on the glass without scratching it? Thanks! Great work too!

@ammonyc what's the cleaner you're using?

Great video larry thanks again!

I had the same spots on my new TT. 6 Stains in total like on the side of the Q7. Just watched the vid, but cleaned my car last weekend. Mine were not as mineralised as on the Q7. I washed the car (total package :foam, high pressure, per hand). Then I started trying to remove it with clay. It reduced a bit but not a lot. Then I took a slight abrasive polish, and polished per hand for more senstivity. Took me hours for the 6 stains. What a pain. Took it down "layer" per "layer" until it was perfect again. I suppose vinegar is not an option? :lol: Your videos on this channel and after/drive thaught me a lot. Thanks for that mate. Very educational ! And yeah cleaning a car kind of gives you that special relation to it (Stingray Vid). And you know all the spots, every imperfection. It's quite intimate haha.

Hi Larry...Awesome vid! I have some water spots on my cars windows thats gotten a bit tough and vinegar is not removing. What do you recommend?

Larry, could you recomend a product for this application?

looks great! what is the name of the product you used? thanks

So are there still any plans to possibly release this product?

Would vinegar help to remove turtle wax tire foam off powder coated rims? Without harming the rims.

Thanks again Larry, i know what to do in future.

Great vid Larry following from Panama (central america). Saludos

Larry...your videos are tremendous..."QUESTION"...I have a 2003 MB CLK320 convertible and the rear 'GLASS" window is full of acid rain. Do I remove the acid rain as you demonstrated for the windshield...the same for the rear window....I am afraid of cracking the window.... any advise would greatly be appreciated ... Thanks David

A video about nano sealants would be very interesting. Some amazing products have appeared in the last 2 years.

Larry , what brand gloves do you recommend? I've tried many different kinds but go through a couple with something as simple as an oil change.

Hi @AMMO-NYC - thanks for this video!! Could you share what mixture you used, please?

LOVE YOUR VIDEOS

Larry please I need to know what you used. My audi a4 has this all around the emblems.

Great job man

dang... they all got an "incoming bomb raid" siren lol

I have a question about cleaning the inside of the front window with meguiars all purpose cleaner. I made the dumb misstake letting it dry in.. Stupid misstakes aside what would you do to reverse the small dots that has fiormed? @AMMO NYC

Sweeet! Glad you love it! Thx for watching Noswolf

Larry, do you have to dispose of all those microfiber cloths when your done with a job like this? Or do you wash them separately and save them for a similar job?

I have run into this situation when detailing a customer's car. I removed calcium lime deposits with a household product called CLR sold at most hardware / home retail centers. For auto paint I recommend to dilute the CLR with water and not use it full strength

question for ya, how well does steam remove water spots? I have a vehicle that has sat under a sprinkler for years... i have try'd vinegar, ducky water spot remover and also the extreme version of the product. i have also had some luck with rubbing compound and very very fine steal wool. i have had very little luck but i dont think i should be trusted with acidic chemicals. have you attempted to use steam, would you recomend it. maybe i should use the extreme water spot remover and my steamer being shipped?

thankyou...very helpful!

Have you released this product yet? My car is covered in water spots that look similar to the ones on this video although the spots aren't as bad.

i have a bunch of orange/brown spots all over the side of my car from my lawn sprinklers. i dont know what the water had inside it, but now they wont come off, would this method work too?

Would you be able to do a video on light surface rust under bubbling/blistering paint?

Larry, you do a video on how to clean or maintain a car garage. Like lubricating all the garage door hinges with grease, how to clean a door garage or how to keep a garage clear of space for cars, or how to powerwash a driveway to get out oil stains, etc.

Is it absolutely necessary to buff out etched water spots right away? My 3 week old car was hit by a sprinkler. :( tried, vinegar, clay bar, Chem guys hard water spot remover. Car was waxed too before it was hit. I’m really beside myself on this one.

Great info !

Carpro glass polish is excellent for cleaning and polishing glass and can even remove scratches when used with a machine. It contains ceramic oxide which is used for polishing mirrors in large telescope.

That creepy Silent Hill siren ! o.O

if the car had some kind of protection on such as wax would this be easier to remove?

hi larry, im having the same problem with my car. and it's crack my head to find what are the better way to remove it. what product did you use to remove these calcium deposit??

Is the "product" just diluted hydrochloric acid? It dissolves calcium carbonate (limestone), and is used as an indicator when determining rock type. It looks just like that when it's working as well.

I have the exact same issue. I tried to click on the link for the product you used but it doesn’t work. Can you please let me know what product to use? Thanks!

how did you remove the minerals from the unpainted plastic and rubber surfaces?

Great video, almost an ASMR video too!

Good job. Could you not have used a soft brush to agitated the acid cleaner to help with removing the mineral - especially around any shut lines, windows and seals ?

And normal degreasing and powerwash won't do? Just curious :)

you didnt really explain "HOW TO REMOVE" anything you just removed it with a "special acid wash" that you stated you haven't released yet........ so in essence..... the video should be called "watching me remove calcium and water spots"......

I think he's using vinegar. That's why he can't show you his trade secret and that's why he can't bottle it. Goto Auto Geek Detailing and search KZread a little more, you'll find some way BETTER how to videos. Good luck!

Larry Kosilla Hey Larry, any update on this product and the leveling fluids from the e39 video from a while ago? Any good alternatives if not coming to production? My car has a bit of waterspots from sitting in the sun after the morning dew, even before I wake up for work. It sucks. I was looking at Meguiars Waterspot remover, but it looks more like a polish than an acidic solution, might work though. I was also thinking a light vinegar wash, I want to get it out before trying a DA correction. Any tips would help!

Did you polish the areas where you used the acid? I would assume rubbing the microfiber with the minerals would induce minor swirls in the paint.

How to remove spots from window trim? To make it black again. My highlander's window trims have white spots and have tried a lot of things and degreaser as well. Do not know what may help to restore the trim

why do you need a siren in NY? I don't get it? Ive only ever seen them in tornado areas. Actually had one go off once in northern AL when we were visiting, we all actually went outside to figure out what was going on! lol They had tornados in the area that night.

Not all people in NY actually live in NYC, nor do all firefighters in NY belong to the FDNY. The majority of us live in outlying suburbs, which all have volunteer fire departments.

wow! Haven't heard noon siren since 70s.

What is the product you used to remove the water spots?

Watching this video a few years after posting. Have you finally come out with this in the Ammo shop? If so, what's it called?

Nice save!

I have these spots on my Triumph America engine. The spots are white and off white colored. The engine is painted silver with no gloss it’s maybe it’s not painted but how do I get these off? since it’s not glossy and no way to buff it because it’s in the fins too

My car just got COVERED by industrial lime. They dropped a truckload of it near the medical building I was in, and when I came out it was covered. The company send a guy to pressure wash the car. DIdn't do a thing, except the surface is now gritty and grey. (It's a black car). Whatshould I require them to do to repair it? The windows appear to be scored as well.

did you ever release this product?

Very impressive!

Love your videos and products. Have you ever done a video on detailing /cleaning/waxing along trim or around door handles etc? I hate when you look close and see stuff you just can't get, well unless you pull all the trim, handles etc. Thanks for any tips.

Could you use steel wool as opposed to a razor blade on the window? obviously not at the edges though.

In Washington State they spray an ice melter on the highways in the winter. Nasty stuff! I am told the white sticky spots on my aluminum wheels are calcium deposits. Please tell me what I can try!!!

Larry. How can a person tell if you need to claybar the front of a car? The car is only about 7 years old and has low miles. The front is still able to be polished but it feels a little rough. Thanks for your imput.

Thanks for the video! is it possible to use steam instead?

@AMMO-NYC

Steam won't break down the minerals.

Won't razor blade scratch the glass? What we need to watch out for when we doing that?

So...what product should we use if we need to do this? Yours isn't for sale yet as you said

What's a good portable water deionzier to get?

Very interesting as always, but damn, I really wonder how long it took for this car to become so messed up by a dripping ceiling.

It's time consuming though not only that but if the blade is tilted the slightest it will leave line scratch in the glass.

Like an arial attack warning siren, usually tested at noon so people will know it's just a test. This is common in both America and Europe as far as I know.
