Boat needed to be waxed hut before I do I want the hard water spots gone. Whats the hot ticket to get it done.
Better yet 50% Blue Mist and 50% ro water
Ducky makes all kinds of varying strength products depending on how bad they are. They make some spray water spot removers with wax in them, and some 100% strength stuff that you'd have to wear gloves to use.
Before you go getting to crazy with it, just buy a bottle of limeaway and put the limeaway on a microfiber applicator (sponge type is what I use).. Gently rub back and forth on the boat with no pressure.. The water spots will be completely gone in 3-4 passes. Now turn around and clean the area with a cleaner, Ducky, Hotsauce, PBC, whatever your fancy.. Then go back and wax.

looks like some peeps remember.
I still use that formula.....get the Blue Mist down at a place in Costa Mesa
Pick it up from them in Scripps Ranch. Super cool people and they usually throw you a sample...I need to get some Blue Mist soon also. We should get some peeps together and buy a 55 gallon drum.

Awesome! I just picked up the Spot Plus at Spanky's in Parker. I'll get after it in the morning and hopefully report back. Thanks for the responseThought I would take this opportunity to explain a little bit about water spots and products available for there removal. Since we are the pioneers and do have the most diversified product line of water spot removers we can speak with some authority on the matter. First and foremost we tell everybody that protection is minimal with any water spot remover that contains wax or silicone and that you should "only" use water spot removal products when your spray detail product is ineffective. The best way to protect against "Hard" water spotting is to have a good layer of wax or sealant, this is key. Once you get off the water grab a "true" detail spray wax or detailer, we offer a product called "Quik Clean & Wax" with a good base wax this usually will do the trick, however, you will inevitably come across those pesky spots at some point. This is when you reach for the water spot remover. We have two spray-on. wipe-off products for this, our Original Water Spot Remover w/o wax and Water Spot Plus w/wax. keep in mind that although Water Spot Plus contains some wax it will never be a true detail product and no water spot remover on the market will be!!! the nature of the chemistry wont allow for that. water spot removers contain acids and acids strip wax. Below I listed our line of water spot removal products with a little description of each.
1) Original Water Spot Remover w/o wax. spray-on, wipe-off with wet towel and dry to avoid streaking. Re-apply wax if desired. This product is used by those wish to do a two step process (remove spots and wax) or for surfaces that hate acids such as vinyl wraps and matte finish surfaces. rinse off and apply proper product for conditioning and protection.
2) Water Spot Plus w/wax. this product contains wax and offers some wax protection. minimal at best, just being honest.
3) Xtreme Water Spot Gel. This product is very strong and requires rinsing. use this when the before mentioned spray-on, wipe-off products are not strong enough. Use on gel coat, clear coat, fiberglass and plastics. If this does not work get the buffer out! remember the longer water spot sit the harder to remove.
4) Water Spot Remover for Glass. Our latest product. "Acid Free" formula is specifically for glass and can get out years old spots.
I hope this helps give a better understanding of water spots and the products associated with there removal. Always feel free to give us a call with any questions you may have on any of our products. 626-797-7226

Seriously! I would have never guessed red would be soo hard to keep looking tits lolThose damn red boats will get you everytime
So update,
Ducky's stuff works!! Flat out did exactly what it says it will do. My transom was way worse that I thought it was and I can see myself in it again. And it took all of 5 minutes.
Like t&y said though, red gel seems harder to keep up, any truth to this?
Thanks Ducky!Glad it all worked out for you. As far as the red goes, it is harder to keep up. You may want to wet sand, compound, polish, seal and wax. You can probably start with 1500 work up to 2000 then compound, polish, seal and wax. We offer a full line to make that possible. Supreme 4 compound, Ultimate Polish, FMJ Sealant and Super Wet Carnauba Cream Wax. Let me know if I can be of any help.

Thanks Ducky!
I only have some areas that just don't look crystal clear. The boat was color sanded before I bought it. These areas are also flat and get direct sunlight, I'm wondering if there is any correlation? If time permits, I'd like to try some compound, my plates a little full right now.
