bloooooooody water marks

[stainesy]

I have a problem with my paint I swear.
Everytime I wash my car then rins or even if I go to a jet wash its the same

After I rins by the time I get the chamy leather out water is dring in spots to the paint and no amount of chamying gets them off.
Its doin my head in.
I no black is a b!tch to keep clean but this is stupid.

You live in a hard water area?

I get some water marks but usually come out with the chamois leather.

Rub harder

Try using a detailer to dry it off with also microfiber is much better

[stainesy]

Yes it a hard water area.
I wash using a micro fibre glove then I rins with clean water but before I get a chance to chamy it drys on even if I rince then chamy strait away I just can't get them off no matter how hard I rub them.

What's a detailer?

I have used loads of diferant car wash and car wash and wax,s. I use a micro fibre glove to wash the car.
Then I rins with clean water.
Them I chamy it.

But in the time between rins and chamy the water drys on hard and can never got the water marks off.
I start chamying one bit and have to rush to get it all wile its wet but I never make it in time.
On a hot sunny day its like a race against time lol.

My god do not rub hard with a chamois leather  You'll scratch the paint work. Dry your car off with a microfibre drying towel then use a detailing spray, I like to use Meguairs ulimate detailing spray and a microfibre. Spray it on and work it over the area with the microfibre, then with a dry microfibre buff the area to leave a shiny non water marked area 

Also its best not to wash your car in the sun. I normally wait til its going down or do it early in the morning.

Ok great cheers when I save up enuf cash to buy the migures stuff I'll try it. Have tried deman shine and still leaves water marks makes no diferance.

So I use a micro fibre cloth to take water off like a chamy?
That can't work as good as a chamy to get the water off tho can it?

[tech1889]

Chamys are totally useless lmao.. A microfiche towel (big one) can dry a whole car without needed to be rung out a chamy can't do that.. Plus a chamy scratchs like he'll and is terrible for the paint a microfibre isn't..
