How to Deal with Water Stains on Car Sunroof?
2 Answers
Use toothpaste to clean the car body. Apply an appropriate amount of toothpaste to the water-stained area, then wipe it off with a soft towel. Repeat several times and rinse with water. Purchase some cleaning clay. Apply it before drying the car after washing next time, which can also remove tar spots. Dishwashing detergent used in the kitchen can also remove stubborn water stains. Apply an appropriate amount to the stained area, gently rub with fingers, then wipe with a dishwashing sponge and rinse with water. Repeat if necessary. It is particularly effective against stains caused by insect remains, bird droppings, and resin. The usage method is the same as dishwashing detergent. Dilute hydrochloric acid with water in a plastic container, brush the area with a plastic brush, and rinse with water after a while to remove the stains.
I was really annoyed when I found yellow stains around the sunroof during my last car wash. It took me quite a while to clean them off with a soft cloth soaked in warm water mixed with white vinegar. It's essential to thoroughly clean both the sunroof seals and drainage holes. Using cotton swabs dipped in alcohol to clean the track gaps works particularly well. Most importantly, remember to use an air gun to dry the corners of the sunroof after washing the car, and try to avoid parking under trees to prevent leaves from clogging the drainage holes. Prevention is more important than dealing with problems later. I apply professional rubber conditioner to the seals every month to maintain their elasticity, and I make a point to check for leaks during rain, so small water stains don’t become stubborn marks.
