Jakarta – People often misunderstand the spots on the glass surface of a car. Many think it's mold, but it's not exactly true. Here are the facts. 

A more appropriate term is waterspot. The reason is, the word fungus seems to indicate the growth of mold on the glass or surface of the car, which is not the case.

Waterspot is usually a stain that sticks to the surface of the car and is difficult to remove.

Apart from damaging the visual appearance of the car, waterspot also has other negative impacts, especially on the glass, where water is difficult to get off the surface. As a result, the view during rain becomes impaired.

So, what exactly is the main cause of waterspot?

Water is the main cause of waterspot, Water quality varies. The main problem occurs when the water contains high minerals. When water sticks to the surface of the car and evaporates on its own, the minerals in the water do not evaporate. These minerals will eventually form scale and cause waterspot.

To prevent waterspot, there are several ways that can be done. One easy way is to dry the car thoroughly after washing, as the water used is often high in minerals.

If possible, you are also advised to dry the rainwater that sticks to the car.

Remember, avoid waterspot formation as much as possible. If the condition is too severe, then the waterspot cannot be removed with just a regular polishing process.
