Hard water spots and bird pings can etch into the paint if left untreated. Here’s how to safely remove them:

For Fresh Bird pings:
Use a damp microfiber cloth with warm water.
Apply a detailing spray o r quick wax.
For Hard Water Spots:
Mix vinegar with distilled water and apply with a soft cloth.
Use a clay bar to remove stubborn deposits.
Polish the surface and apply wax for protection.

Avoid scrubbing aggressively, as it can scratch the paint.
