Well I thought I would wash, polish and wax the car today.
I should have decided to do anything else BUT wash the car....
Everything started out ok, I washed the car using Gold Class Wash, thoroughly rinsed it off with the hose, then I decided to sit and have a quick drink and a smoke before I began drying it off with a chamois.
That was a mistake, the weather here is quite hot 37c so needless to say it didn't take long before the car decided to dry itself.
I thought at the time damn this is going to be easy, so I proceeded to dry it off properly with the chamois rinsing it as I went.
Was I wrong....
Ok I got that all done and noticed some water marks here and there but didn't worry too much as I went over them again with the damp chamois, they were still there.
It gets worse....
Ok I thought I would just alter my schedule and use some DC Paint Cleaner. Well after just about rubbing a hole through the panel it had absolutely no affect on the water marks.
I then decided to rewash the car again, this time in smaller sections rinsing thoroughly and drying as I went. This didn't work, I still have those damn water marks on several panels including the roof and hood.
Well after this I was pretty peeved to say the least. The wife new better and disappeared into the house. I decided to just polish and wax the car anyway as I didn't have the time to try to get the marks out. They are still very visible.
Ok you still reading?
I don't understand why this happened, the car was washed with GC, polished with DC, 1 coat of GC Wax and 2 coats of NXT Wax about 2 weeks ago.
Why is it water will leave marks that are EXTREMELY hard to remove? Even though there are 3 coats of wax on the car.
Our water here is not what you might call hard water.
I was under the impression wax was applied to protect the paintwork. Have I missed something here? Surely wax should stop WATER from leaving marks?
Maybe stop is not the right word, Wax should make removing marks very easy.
I really don't want to go over the whole car with ScrathX just to get rid of these water marks.
So here I am 9 1/2 hours later hoping someone here can explain why this has happened.
Oh and thanks for taking the time to read it all
