Here’s How to Fight Back Against Hard Water Stains
Hard water is everywhere, from garden hoses to puddles. But when hard water lands on—and later evaporates from—your car, it can leave those minerals behind and make your car appear dirty. If left to linger too long, hard water deposits can also ruin your car’s paint job.
You might think you’re doing your car a favor by washing it, but you also need to ensure you’re protecting it from hard water deposits. Here’s why this matters and what you can do to get rid of hard water buildup for good.
The Threat of Hard Water Deposits
Hard water contains minerals like iron, calcium, and magnesium, and can wind up in the same water you use to wash your car. Your car can also be exposed to hard water via car washes or puddles. Either way, it’s not the type of water you can clean your car with.
Mineral deposits can linger on your car’s paint, leading to rusting, fading, or paint oxidation. When this happens, your car will appear dull and dirty even if you just washed it. Or worse, your paint will start corroding and leave your car exposed to the elements.
Where Hard Water Deposits Accumulate
Hard water deposits can build up all over the car. Here are a few main problem areas:
- Car Exterior Surfaces: Areas such as the body, hood, and roof are magnets for hard water spots to accumulate, affecting the overall appearance.
- Car Windows and Windshields: Hard water stains on glass surfaces hinder visibility and diminish the vehicle’s appeal.
- Car Paintwork: Hard water deposits on the paint can cause dullness, discoloration, and potential damage if left untreated.
- Metallic Surfaces: All metallic areas of a car, including the chassis, door handles, and trim, can corrode or deteriorate due to hard water.
- Glass Surfaces: Hard water residue on glass surfaces like side mirrors and headlights affects both appearance and functionality.
- Wheel Rims and Chrome Accents: Hard water spots on wheel rims and chrome details diminish the shine and attractiveness of these features.
How Cilajet Protects Against Hard Water Deposits
Hard water is often unavoidable, which is why ceramic paint protection is the true unsung hero in car detailing. Ceramic paint protection adds a thin yet durable coating across every inch of your car’s paint. This way, mineral deposits never touch your paint and can’t cause rust, corrosion, fading, or dullness.
Our Cilajet formula features ceramic polymer nanotechnology to protect your car’s paint. We’ve also added graphene—the hardest natural substance on earth—for extra durable protection against the elements.
Being an aviation-grade technology, Cilajet conforms to Boeing and Airbus specifications to ensure long-lasting protection under the toughest of conditions.
Like a suit of armor, Cilajet helps your paint look and feel like new for longer than regular wax or polish. You can protect against hard water deposits and the spots they leave behind for a showroom finish that lasts.
The Superiority of Cilajet Ceramic Paint Protection
There’s no shortage of products to help you protect your car’s paint and make it shine like new. But unlike traditional waxes and polishes, Cilajet Ceramic coatings last longer and offer the best protection.
The secret is in our unique formula and application techniques. The ceramic polymer nanotechnology ensures even distribution across every painted surface of your car. The polymers link together and bond to your car’s painted and metal surfaces like a little network of shields, plus they’re reinforced by graphene for added durability.
And unlike other products, our ceramic coatings are applied by a trained technician. They prime your car and cure the ceramic coating to ensure a smooth, even layer. Hydrophobic properties make it easy to rinse your car cleanly without leaving debris behind, including mineral deposits. Since CilajetCeramic coating offers a smooth outer layer that fills in the porous painted surfaces of your vehicle’s exterior , there’s nowhere for mineral deposits to hide.
