I have had my car about 6 months now and not once have I been able to wash it without water marks being left!
Is this due to a poor finish on the paint (IE lack of polish) or am I washing the car wrong?
I try my hardest to get all the water off before I move onto the next section of the car but it just doesnt work!
What shampoo do you use? Do you use a shammy or microfibre cloth to dry it?
Its all about getting the right process when cleaning your car and once you have found that youll be sorted! The difficult thing is what i may find fantastic for my car, you may hate for yours as every paintwork fits with a different type of cleaning product, when you find the right one for yours you will never go back
I do think having a good seal on the car helps because the water doesnt really 'sit' on the car then
You say polish but its not really good to polish the car often, you need to build up a barrier for the car not take it away and too much polish can do more harm than good
You can get water marks off with a good quality cloth and some warm water but you need to be careful not to get any grit on it
I had my car Professinally Polished in April and i have never used polish on it! I normally wash it and then go over with the wax i have got and the water pretty much runs straight off of her now! If i do get water marks then i go over that section again with shampoo and water and dry it straight away using a proper microfibre cloth (none of this shammy malarky)
Im not saying i am right but i find my way of doing it works really well for me and seeing as yours is Black too it may be worth looking into
I can give you some mroe information on what products you could use and where to get them from, if you want?
