Water spots

[don penney]

Does anybody have any advice on washing soaps etc, so I don't get water spots after I wash my truck?

I always have to dry it to prevent the spots. Thanks

Don't wash your car in direct sunlight or when the body is hot from being in the sun. Never wax your car in the sun or when hot from the sun either. Dry the body with a Chami (that's how it's pronounced, prolly not the right spelling) cloth, really a piece of synthetic leather that really sucks up the water. Wax it when it's cool and dry. Barkeeper's fiend can remove water spots on the glass.

You will always have to dry to prevent water spots there is basically nothing you can do to stop that.

 

Now what you could do though is get some of that waterless wash and spray it on the water spots afterwards. It will take them out and you'll be alright.

Thanks alot, I do Chami it after I wash it, but takes so long..haha...I will try that waterless wash though thnk you

Yeah I agree. 

 

Invest in a California Water Blade. Pretty worth it for the hood and some of the other panels. Waterless wash is the only thing that is going to save you from waterspots though.

Clean truck super duper clean and wax with 303 sealant.. it helps a lot. I water blade and blow with a 36V Makita blower

Where does one find 303 sealant?

eBay or Amazon.. remember this is the sealant and not the detail spray
