Water Marks, why?
« on: 17 August 2008, 18:36 »
Whenever i wash my car i always get those water drop let marks over my car, really annoys me.

Ive tried washing it in the evening, with no sun, not hot.

I was it with a meguires mitt, and good shampoo. And then rinse it with a hose.

Ive tried doing it in the cold, and also taking it for a ragg to dry it off.

Help?

Thanks  :cool:

yeah - get a drying towel. 

after rinsing i spray a little bit of Megauiars Detailer / Last Touch onto the panel and then dry off with the towel - no marks left behind  :smiley:  got to do it before it dries completely though obviously
