Returned home from being out of town for five days and was disgusted to see the driver side of my rig literally covered with water spots from the sprinkler system. I`ve spent the better part of the day slaving to remove this crud, and although it appears to be better, I am not completely satisfied. The salesperson at Schuck`s recommended Meg`s #2 Fine-cut cleaner, and from reading some of the archives at the forum it seems like good advice on the brand. After applying the #2 several times (additional times in areas affected more) I went straight to Meg`s #26. The directions on the #2 recommended #9, but then stated for longer lasting proctection to use the #26. I originally read this as if I didn`t need the #9 if I were to use the #26, but now I am second guessing myself and thinking I skipped an important step.
I have a 02 3/4 ton Ram P/U and as stated before it looks better than before, but the coat still has stubborn marks as well as less noticeable marks I want to get rid of. Perhaps the worse thing still is the chrome nerf bars and chrome wheels. Thus far I have had no luck removing the water marks from these areas. I tried a bit of white vinegar, but had no luck. After reading some threads here, it looks like 0000 steel wool might work on the chrome with a bit of chrome polish. I might give this a try yet.
Am I screwed as far as the condition of my paint job and chrome or do you guys have some suggestions you can pass on?
Thanks...vis
