You worry too much. Ride it!!!!!!!!!!!! LoL

 

You have no idea how your comment made sense!! Been worried for a couple of days now! 😂
Just wantint to take care of her as much as she takes care of me

 

Water is a great solvent. Reverse Osmosis water is an even better solvent because it is basically just the "H" and the "O". RO water will dissolve the calcium deposited on your pipes when the heat evaporated the rain water.
The longer you leave the calcium spots on your black finish being heated-cooled-heated the more permanent the spots will become just like hard water will etch spots in glass..

 

Dang I have no easy access to RO water but it seems that I'll be keeping it in storage until I find a soltuion. Read that maybe vinegar w/ water may do the trick.

 

Would distiled water work as RO one? That would be easier to fetch

 

Distilled water and RO water are very similar.
RO water is made by nano filtration while distilled water is made by evaporation.
Both are universal solvents and very good at removing anthing they can dissolve.

 

And don't store it UNTIL you find a solution. Clean it THEN put it in storage.

 

Have you tried rubbing it off with a soft dry cloth?

 

Tub o towels. I used it on chrome and on the tank & fenders on my Harley. It take bugs off like crazy. Works very well and doesn't hurt the paint. I waxed the painted parts after. The Harley was my guinea pig before I used it on my Triumph. I don't use it on the windshield.

 

By the way, I sold the Harley to buy the new to me Speedmaster.

 

Depending on how hard the minerals are in the water spots and how long they have been on the bike you can try:

1. saturate a microfiber or similar cloth with regular tap water, rub the area well, then dry and buff with a clean towel. This simple trick can remove some light water spots.
2. White vinegar and distilled water. 50/50 or more water than vinegar if you like. I have had success with removing spotting on car paint this way.
3. Soak a cloth with Windex, let it sit on the area for 10-15 minutes and wipe. This works sometimes too depending on how bad the spotting is.
4. The original biker's detail product/cure all - Pledge. Yes, pledge. I have kept cans in the garage for decades.

You can try the water spot remover products off the shelf but I have not had any success with those (Meguiar's, etc.). There are more aggressive methods but I don't recommend these unless you are familiar with chemicals and cleaning compounds. Such as diluting acidic wheel cleaning solutions a certain way which works for removing hard water stains but if not done right it can ruin the finish.

 

You may be able to get hold of RO water in an aquatic supply shop. It’s often used for saltwater setups I believe.
