<< < (3/3)

matsu:
i normally wash and wax with lusso oro about once a month-two coats.she beads lovely etc...
and i wash her more or less once per week
i get water marks and stuff unless i use a qd.... is that ok?
is it my drying towels? or is that fairly normal esp in the hotter days as the water dries quicker than i,m getting to it?
or am i just dumb?
sorry to jack the thread a little..... :sad1:

If you're getting watermarks, the water's drying before you get to towelling. Try rinsing off one panel and drying it before moving on to the next panel.

Hi Matsu,

It may the type of water you have there or it may be as you said, you're not getting to dry the car quick enough before the water's drying.

You could try what Stealth said and rinsing each panel before you dry it, although, you may find that you end up getting the panels you've already dried, wet again.

We (especially on hot days) keep rinsing the car even while we're washing it, if that makes sense? :ashamed:  Jim washes the car with the shampoo and sheep puppet, and as he moves on to the next panel, I just keep rinsing where he's been with fresh water to make sure it doesn't dry out, that way, when we come to dry it off, it's still all completely wet.  It'll be a bit of too-ing and fro-ing if you're washing the car on your own, but it might be worth trying that out to see if makes any difference?

Hope this helps

Water marks  are a nightmare in the summer. I bought a DI resin filter last year which completely solves the problem but the exhange resin is very expensive - too expensive.

Funny you mention about Megs Last Touch affecting beading. I have found this too if heavily applied. Perhaps it's something to do with the silicones in it? It makes a good drying aid but i'm not over gone on it for use as a pure QD. Can't fault the value of LT though  :happy2:
I don't get the same problem with Clearkote Quikshine or Finishkare 425 though.

Boothy:
Sounds like some good options out there to try. Will have to look at them all when I run out of LT.
