:hello: morning Pint!

Need help guys.
Having an awful time with water spots.
Even with water through the whole house filter system.

What am I doing wrong?!

I need simple as certain members of my household are less than tolerant of car stuffz. ;)

hey there, mr.alcheng :tup: time for wash and a few snaps? :pics: :icon17:

hummm, im so glad i dont live in the south. :icon17: lol ;)


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. :tup:

griots sells water filteration, but they are not cheap.

went riding on my bike (bicycle) again. this time no taffyapple bugs smashing into my forehead, but an actual gray taffyapple thing going super slow on the trail. :ugh: i can't pass her because the trail is narrow and she's taking up like 8ft of horizontal plane. :ugh: :icon17: wtf :mad:

but at one of the sharper turns she almost crashed so i slipped a pass and took off. :tup: then some super-fit-mr.man-biker-god-type showed me who's king by handing my arse to me going up hill. :ugh2: :shakes head: thanks.

no respect from taffyapples, no respect from godly-biker-men. :ugh2:

..tomorrow some 8yr old girl will probably pass me going downhill on her pink bike. :ugh2:

Happy Memorial Day :usa:

Home safe after a good trip to San Antonio. Nasty weather driving back through the thunderstorms. Had about 20 miles of 30-40 mph on I-35 in heavy downpour :eekdance:

Nap time! :yawn:

hey there, mr.jar. :hello:

how often do you wax your Z?

if you have a good layer of wax on the panels all the time, it shouldn't leave too many water spots on the panel, and you can just use a microfiber cloth to tap them off.

Same as Mr.kenchan, I don't spray off the shampoo.

I wash a small section (less than 2ft X 2ft) at a time then let clean water runs through it.

The most important is wax, good wax rebels water thus leave very little spots.
