Try sheeting the water off when you rinse with an open hose rather than spraying it. With a well waxed car, this will almost self dry it. Then dry the rest with a mf cloth using a QD spray or AG Aqua Wax as an aid.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

Thanks Dubber,

I think I'll use some of the megs no80 (or is it 82..?) 3/10 cut polish and then, jetseal and put a few coats of wax on it.  Hopefully that will clear the dullness (oxidation?) of the paint too!  :smiley:

You only ever need two tools in life. If it moves and it shouldn't use Duct Tape. If it does not move and it should, use WD40.

Jeez detailing is crazy there are so many options and ways to egt a pukka finish. This jetseal gets a regular mention though so may need to invest in some of that :)
Where is a cheapest for that stuff?

If you've got a black car then I heard that Poorboys black hole is supposed to be really good and hides loads of marks.
