Water spot damage in 2024 Yukon

[djnice]

After you get the spots off, polish and ceramic coat.

Try vinegar. If possible wet a rag and let it sit on the spots a few minutes and then rub out the spots - then polish & wax.

Hello,

Proud owner of a 2024 Yukon in Black that I purchased a month ago new. Love the black but recently doing a hand wash noticed some hard water spots. I tried using a polish and wax compound by hand, and it would not get rid of it. I assume it needs a professional paint correction.

Would the dealer be responsible to resolve this? I did purchase it in Florida so I assume it's sat in the sun for a while.

I also had a couple dings that I had a PDR guy repair and they did reimburse me for that part as I was out of state.

Try to find out what body-paint shop the dealer uses..... Talk to that painter for an assessment. THEN ( with that information) , then go to the service guy at your dealer.
I had a factory paint issue on my '88 GMC. The area had clear coat peeling. The dealer only directed their shop to ONLY, " Clear sand & polish". They did not remove the clear coat peeling and repaint. They finally properly repaired the defect at another GMC dealer.
( Good grief )

Down here is coastal NC a lot of folks have DYI wells for their irrigation system (even though they have county water) and the iron as well as sulfur content is extremely high. If their irrigation system goes off and sprays your car, the high iron content makes it very difficult to remove the water spots. Better to get them taken off sooner then later. After a while, it's near impossible. It seems like if you noticed them right away that the dealer would stand behind their product. Prices for new vehicles are through the roof and for what you pay for a new on, it would be sad if the dealer didn't stand behind it. .

There are several effective water spot removal products you can try. Personally, I’ve had great results with Chemical Guys Water Spot Remover—it's impressive and doesn’t strip paint like traditional polishing compounds.

Newer GM paint tends to be quite soft and can develop water spots easily, especially when exposed to direct sunlight. Once you’ve removed the spots, it’s important to add a layer of protection. I’ve found that traditional carnauba-based wax works best for preventing hard water spots. However, its protection doesn’t last long—typically only about a month or two.

Ceramic coating is another option, but in my experience with my black GMC truck, it didn’t provide any better protection against water spots than traditional waxes.
