remember certain areas have harder water then others which will leave deposit on your paint....
Try to wash in a shaded area and your vehicle must be cool to the touch....
Also did you remove your spray noozle and just let the water flow smooth and glide it across your paint so there wont be that much water on the vehicle....
also depending on the size you may need two WW at least from what i hear....

that looks good....how long did it take you to complete the whole detail or did you break it up......
Also did you get any splatter from Dacp...
Why did you use 9006 instead of 8006(curious)...im thinking you would have got better results(but not that it need it looks awsome)....unless your main attention was the wax (colorx)...
also any gumming issue w/colorx.....

Hmm, this gets me thinking. I've been noticing swirls as well in my car, but I've been doing everything I can to NOT put swirls in it. Could it be my drying technique with the WW that's doing it?

I know about sheeting the water with the hose, but what process to you use for the WW? Do you wet it prior to drying like a chamois? If it becomes saturated do you use a different WW?

Sheet off as much water as you can.....
remember everything counts...
high quality mitts soap and so forth....
Some members use a leaf blower(air compressor) to dry most of their cars then they blot with there drying towels...
there are many ways ...
just remember any time you touch the paint there is a potential to instill scratches....
thats why from beginning to end counts.....
also if its a daily driver you will get swirls,chips, and so forth....

good luck and post up some pics sometime....
by the way i by no means am an expert i am simply a noob who seeks new techniques(open minded) and use what works...

I was going to take the pics, but I just left a class early on a whim, and completely forgot to take my camera.

I am at a university, so I have to take my car to a (covered) do-it-yourself washing station. This means I have to use their pressure washers to get water. I cant get a low stream to sheet the water off.

Normally I use a chamois to dry the car. I think that using the chamois first, to get most of the water, then following up with the water magnet, would be the best way to get the water off.

I want a DACP so badly! Til then, I NEED to find someone within 150 miles of me who owns one! If you are, let me know! I'll travel to learn!
