REMOVE WATER SPOTS: How To Properly Use Optimum MDR

- Even if you're not a professional detailer, you've surely run across stubborn water spots on your car. This can happen when you park next to sprinklers, leave it out in the rain, or even from your car washing hose if the water isn't perfectly-clean. The solution? Use MDR, (Mineral Deposit Remover) during your next wash to remove water spots from glass, paint, and rubber trim! MDR is safe on all automotive exterior surfaces and doesn't cover water spots, but removes them! However, MDR is not limited to automobiles. It can also be used around the house on shower doors, mirrors, faucets,, and windows.
Even if you think you think the spots on your car have been there forever, you'll be amazed at just how much cleaner your paint and glass can be! For best results, follow up with a light polish and protect the finish with wax! - Auta a dopravní prostředky
just ordered and received MDR. finally a product that does what is says it does.
Yvan's the best.. just the best lol wish I knew half of all his car care knowledge.
Thanks again for your time and help with the channel.
Just detailed a 2016 red honda civic tonight with water spots. Hit it with MDR and bam they were gone. Customer was very happy.
Craig Cole the water spots were they on there for a year or more? I have customers with this issue, in your experience have you encountered this ? Thanks Andy’s Auto Detailing
@@an7d7y im a new detailing cutomers cars only had my business for a month. I dont know how long bit he said he hasnt kept up with the car since winter so several months maybe. Regular onr and opticlean didnt remove them
Great video Yvan!
Thank you
Would have nice to seen the results up close from different angles.
It appears I'm getting the opti-clean sprayer for any products I order from them. looks like I will be switching who I purchase it from. I'd imagine the sprayers are different depending on the product for a reason
great you can use it on the paint! most water spot removers are only recommended for glass. Will need to test this out, cheers guys
I Just ordered ONR, MDR , Car Wax, Black Sponge applicator and Edgeless microfiber towel. My only concern is Should i clay bar first or Use the MDR first? Thanks you in advance.
I read a post by yvan on fb where he states mdr can be diluted to help decontaminate opti coat pro surfaces? I think he said 4:1... but he wasnt clear if it was 4 parts water or 4 parts product
My brother in law has a brand new black Colorado 2020 .... he put water without protection 🙄😳 Now he have water spot .... I purchase MDR recently, can I have to polish after mdr or It will be enough?
Thanks for Québec Canada 😜
What will happen if I use normal microfibre cloth instead of fancy edgeless cloth ?????
Can this product work to remove stains from Matte paint? Does it damage the paint?
what stores could I buy mdr or do I have to order from you guy's?
Soooooo...the MDR is removing the clear coat which is where the waterspots are embedded? Then 'protecting' the paint with wax? Only wax? I'm not clear about this. Thanks.
Hi there,
The water spots on my vehicle stay same after three attempts to move it with the mdr. Quite disappointing.... I had a huge hope on it.
Dark grey colour car, ceramic coated.
Are there any other solutions to remove the spots safely?
We get absolutely horrible hard water spots and etching in my area. I've tried countless dedicated water spot remover products. They have all failed spectacularly. I've tried the steel wool, magic erasers, Lava soap bar, etc.. Takes a lot of aggression, time and effort to get any results.
Now I pretty much just default to grabbing my buffer with a cutting pad and compound. Because I know it will actually work well in a short amount of time.
But I have yet to be disappointed by an Optimum product. So I'll give this stuff a shot out of loyalty.
God I hate glass. I literally have nightmares about being forced to detail cars made entirely of glass..
How did the product work?
Those aren't comments you pointed to...You slickster...I know what's "DOWN THERE."...you wont have me trying to read the fine print...lol...Great video !!!
Is this coat safe ??? I applied some to my coated car and apparently it removed the coating
What would you recommend the best route to removing hard water from my matte black paint?!
Hard water spots from sprinklers are the devils work!
theloser0 the first mistake was having a matte black car
Ivan do you have a training course for beginners?
Hello Levi/Yvan,
Was the amount of the wax applied was really enough for protection?I'm quite amazed.
Thank you.
Christopher
The Rag Company Can't wait for my ONRWS..We only have 2 sellers here in the Philippines...Looking forward to your vids..Thanks and Keep it Up!
Hi Levi,
Can I use the Edgeless 245 for Rinseless wash or do I need to use higher GSM?
Thanks...
Thanks a lot Levi.
MDR striped the wax while eating away the deposits, that’s fine, so after rinsed away with ONR, just wax to give the car back it’s protection. My question is:
Will MDR strip Gloss Coat?
Another question, is there anything to top Gloss Coat after washes that will actually stay on to help Gloss Coat extend its coating life? Or Gloss Coat will just shed everything? Thanks for your time. Ray Simental
No it won't strip Gloss Coat or other coatings. You'll need to polish to remove a coating.
is mdr ok to use on paint protection film?
Do you know what store I can get that MDR from
Is MDR safe on matte plastic trims and plastic headlights?
Have just ordered this product. is it safe for trim or will I have to tape it off or avoid trim? Also can I use any other spray detailer or even some distilled water spray to wet the paint before using?
It is safe for rubber trim, paint, and glass. Clean the surface before using, it is a gel so no need to wet the paint while applying.
great vid....i have opticoat pro. Do I still wax after using MDF?
MDR is Opti-Coat friendly. But on a purely waxed surface, your wax wont stand up to it. Yes, reapply wax to affected area.
Is MDR safe to use on a PPF ?
I might of received a bad batch but out of the two bottles I have neither of them did anything at all. Product was totally useless and my car wasn't neglected.
I know after I've removed the water spots, etc, with MDR, polished, and waxed, my car will be in danger of being sprayed again by my neighbor's sprinklers. Is there a protectant that will prevent further water spot damage and the need to redo the whole process?
Shoot the neighbour lol
I've noticed that all optimum products have the black sprayer. Is this the supplied sprayer from Optimum? I have recieved optimum products from another company that uses a blueish colored sprayer that doesn't work well. loses it's prime or stops working all together. any feedback?
Is the Rag Company and Optimum not owned by the same company? Or is Optimum bottle by a third party mixer hence all the different and inconsistent spray heads?
So even after using mdr you would still have to polish to remove what's left over after the spots?
I think he is talking about any etching that may have been caused by water spots remaining for a long time. Not certain.
I've tried MDR on water spots with no success and have heard the same from other reviews online. I would not call my vehicle a neglected outdoor vehicle.
Yes, it didn't work on ours😞
I would bet the mineral deposits etched i to the clear coat. The mdr would’ve definitely removed the deposits, but what you have left are indentations of where the deposits used to be. Those indentations would need to be polished out. So it’s not that the mdr didn’t work, but that the mineral deposits etched i to the clear. That would be my guess idk man
Is this safe for PPF?
At the beginning of the video 1:05, you sounded like you needed a glass of water lol
will this get rid of ceramic coatings also when you use it?
MDR is safe for coatings
No, you'll need to polish to remove coatings.
Can you use it on a opti ceramic coated car
yep
If you use mdr, you don't have to clay before applying the wax?
You can clay the surface if you like! But it isn't necessary.
so is it possible to use mdr instead of clay yo remove contaminants? its easier and faster to.
MDR does not remove all contaminants, claying is always a good idea.
@@LacroixCruiser
Is it safe or ceramic coated cars and does it remove the ceramic coating?
The fact that the MDR is an acidic based product would indicate to me it would remove a ceramic coating.
I have P&S Bead maker on my vehicle will this remove it?
Of course, it will...
does this remove ceramic coating also?
No, you'll need to polish if you want to remove a coating.
How come polishing doesn't remove all of the mineral deposits? Are the mineral deposits etched deeper into the clear coat that only the MDR can remove? If so, wouldn't polishing the car with or without using MDR in the first place take the same amount of time as we are removing the same amount of clear coat? Thanks TRC.
It would be great if they could answer here on a public forum so other people can find the answer as well. Thanks TRC!
Derek Truong the reason you need to remove the mineral deposits, Is so that when polishing your clear coat, it tends to "swell", when the swelling subsides the mineral deposit stains will return, you must try to remove as much of the mineral deposits as possible so that when this swelling occurs there are no mineral deposits to worry about returning. Does that make sense?
Sorry for the late reply.
Does MDR remove OpiCoat coating?
Nope.
Can you use this on a Ceramic Coated paint?
Yes, i seen a video on a guy using on yt
How long had those wate spots been on the car? Every other water spot remover all require ELBOW grease. You don't apply much here, so that's why the question.
Many people say to not wipe in circular motions, but why is he?
This video says to spray it off with a hose, but on my bottle I bought it says to wipe off with a microfiber. Which is correct?
The Rag Company so with that said, would the wash and wax ONR work or does it need to be the standard ONR
Use white Vinigar 75%+25%water or tire shine. Alot cheaper.
Are there any materials MDR may damage?
Martin Bowen Lime, calcium, magnesium etc any mineral or mineral salt
Clear coat failure on the roof, I would say the owner doesn't care.
Everything about this video was great, but come on Yvan don't rub the car in circles ☹️️
D
Mdr ... in french is lol
one bucket? all that bird crap and dirt reapplied to the car? ewww
Dirt and contaminants will drop to the bottom and stay there. Nothing that you put in the bucket will get back on the wash media when you're using ONR. Even very fine silt that always floats in soap solution will drop to the bottom of an ONR solution.
ao what is that about $150.00 worth of products to do this.And the Camara man is not very good at all. Sorry but I was expecting a more professional video.
I can't take all of the swallowing sounds!
