  • Last touch & Water Spots

    I have a '03 Black Silverado I am working on. So far we have washed it and clayed and I am almost have done with an application of #80. The weather has been very uncooperative so we only go half of the #80 done yesterday.

    Today it is still cloudy and drizzling off & on but Ithink I can hopefully knock out the other half.

    What I am posting about is this. Yesterday it rained in the morning on it. Plus, we had hosed it off the night before. SO I had plenty of Water marks due to the rain and my hard water. This was not a mafor concern as they were fresh and I knew I would QD it again with Last Touch and then polish it anyway. No Biggie.

    But, Yesterday when I QDed it I noticed some of the water marks would not come off. I did not sweat it as they polish job was next anyway. But today it rained again all last night and this morning and I went out and QDed the areas I intend to work again before gearing up to mask it off. As I was QDing with Last Touch, I noticed the spots that did not come off during yesterdays QD "DID" come off today. Almost like the product had actually soaked in a tad and moisterized these waterspots to the point where they came off very easy today.

    I just wanted to throw this thought out while i was thinking about it. Maybe it holds true that with some water spots QDing 2 days back to back increases the chances of a more thorough removal.

    Great lesson learned on my part. Hope someone else can benefit from it.

    BTW, The bottle of Last Touch I am using is the same bottle we clayed with Dilluted 1:1. I plan on using 1;1 all the time up until the point a vehicle is waxed and is ready for routine Maintenance, Then I plan on trying non dilluted and see how that goes for routine maintenance

    Certainly an interesting observation. Almost seems to work like a mild Bug and Tar Remover for stubborn dirt.
