What am I doing wrong?!

I need simple as certain members of my household are less than tolerant of car stuffz.
water spots on your car, msbc? if so, are you washing in the shade? if not, that helps quite a bit. also washing one or two panels at a time is a good way to minimize spots. wash, then wipe dry. i do this when i have to wash my car in the sun.

water hose should not be in spray mode when you rinse. you dont want the little droplets drying up real quick. i use flood-mode on my firemen's hose, but some folks just remove the nozzle all together and let the water sheet off.

also using spray as you wipe/dry polymer sprays after the rinse helps. i know meguiar's sells them, i use Prima Hydro. that helps quite a bit when it comes to minimizing spots and minimizing swirls since it's not a blot dry technique.

hope some of this sparks some ideas.

griots sells water filteration, but they are not cheap.
