    Anyone use Sud factory stuff?

    Living in Hawaii, starting a business here and so far, every customer has had insane water spots (not surprising!). I've been trying to throw in the spot removal from glass to entice repeat business (always point out to them, both paint and glass they're there) then add some rain-x to prevent until next wash... It is now an add on to washes (guess why lol).

    I'm about to order some car-pro ceri-glass and pads to hopefully knock down the time consuming process, but curious about Sud Factory...

    I believe they're on Oahu so shipping would be fast, and guessing they might know their stuff with spots... But all I've seen has been Facebook stuff and nothing else...

    So, anyone try it? Anyone have a different recommendation for super hard water spots? I have a couple bottles of pinnacle spot remover that works, but I've been applying by hand and it's kicking my ass for time... gonna order a 2" pad conversion for my griots DA to hopefully speed that process up, but thought I'd ask the question...

    TIA!

    I had ordered their ultimate kit - glass and paint spot remover and the sealant. The glass spot remover worked ok but required just as much effort as other products. The paint water spot remover did not work at all. I tried on a small 4"x4" area. After 6 applications the spots were still there. I clay bared the entire tailgate, removing the water spots in the same time I spent on the 4x4 area.
    I requested an RMA return number yesterday morning and have not recieved a response back after 2 business days

    Thank you for that quick response! A shame it didn't work out and hopefully they make it right for you. Guess it's too good to be true!

    Water spot removers are some of the most overstated detailing products on the market. I've not found one yet that works on water spots that have begun to etch into clearcoat or build up on glass...and I've tried several. I had some serious water spots on the windows of my truck, and I tried a bunch of them, and some home brews....nothing worked. Ended up with some Ceriglass and CarPro Rayon pads to get them off.

    Thank you sir! I'm focusing on glass for now hoping I can get most anything off the paint with a compound and such...

    I've had good luck with the pinnacle stuff recently on glass, just a lot of work and time consuming... but it does work. Up until recently I've used barkeepers friend and invisible glass with good luck, but again, a lot of man power and haven't tried it here yet... tried vinegar and baking soda a bit ago and had weird results... that's my range of home brew stuff...

    Looks like I'll pass on the Sud factory and continue with my Ceriglass and pad order! :thumbsup:

    Thanks for your input!

    Aloha, fellow car enthusiasts! As you're well aware, one of the most common issues we face in Hawaii is stubborn water spots on our vehicles. With the island's unique climate, the combination of humidity, saltwater, and rainfall can lead to some pretty tough water spots. But fret not, because I have found the perfect solution - Sud Factory water spot removers! Designed to tackle even the most stubborn water spots, Sud Factory's products are a game changer for car owners in Hawaii, especially for all the Toyota Tundra's and Tacoma's we have on the islands!



    Why I believe Sud Factory Water Spot Removers are Perfect for Hawaii:

    1. Designed to Tackle Stubborn Water Spots: Sud Factory has formulated their water spot removers specifically to target and remove stubborn water spots with ease. Their unique blend of cleaning agents and natural acids work together to dissolve and lift away mineral deposits, ensuring a spotless finish for your vehicle.

    2. Safe for All Surfaces: One of the best things about Sud Factory's water spot removers is that they are safe to use on all surfaces, including paint, glass, chrome, and plastic. This means you can confidently use their products on any part of your car without worrying about causing damage.

    3. Quick and Easy Application: Sud Factory water spot removers are incredibly easy to use. Simply apply the product onto the affected area, let it sit for a few minutes to work its magic (or rub it in depending what product it is), and then rinse it off with water. It's that simple, and the results are truly impressive!


      Conclusion: If you're tired of battling stubborn water spots on your car in Hawaii, then it's time to give Sud Factory water spot removers a try. Their unique formulation is designed to tackle even the toughest water spots, leaving your car looking pristine and protected. With their easy application, safety for all surfaces, and easy-to-use approach, Sud Factory's water spot removers are the perfect solution for maintaining your car's appearance in Hawaii's unique climate.


    For the Spotless X2 glass water spot remover, it is guaranteed to work even on the most stubborn stains on glass such as the ones that looked etched in. One thing to note is that, water spots on glass are actually not etched in -- sometimes just super hard to remove, as it really sticks to the surface.

    What I found that works best to remove the tough water spots using the Spotless X2 is to apply it with a terry cloth, not a microfiber towel, because the microfiber towels will absorb too much of the active ingredient that is used to remove water spots. It has these micro-particles in there and that is used to take it out. You can also do it by hand just put on gloves and go for it!

    Sud Factory's Spotless X2 glass water spot remover is a powerful product that can remove even the toughest water spots from your glass surfaces. Here's how to use it:

    1. Clean the surface. Start by cleaning the surface with a mild soap and water solution. This will remove any dirt or debris that could interfere with the product.
    2. Apply the product. Put the product directly onto the water spots with terry cloth or by hand using gloves.
    3. Rub away the water spots. Then use a, clean cloth to wipe away the leftover product. You may need to apply a little more pressure for stubborn spots.
    4. Rinse the area. Rinse the area with clean water to remove any remaining product.
    5. Dry the area and voila!
    That's it! With just a few simple steps, you can remove even the toughest water spots from your glass surfaces with Sud Factory's Spotless X2 glass water spot remover.

    Here are some additional tips for using Spotless X2:
    • Avoid using the product in direct sunlight or on hot surfaces.
    • Do not use the product on plastic or painted surfaces.
    • Can be used on chrome.
    • Can be used on home windows and shower doors (popular application)
