Rinse off without water spots? (Easiest Foam?)

[Red Beard Ops]

I'll try to get my hands on some of them.

I just tried some simple green and with a few rounds and heavy scrubbing it does seem to remove them. The Simple Green residue then seems to be removed by the OPT ONR easily

No luck with the OPT ONR Wash & Shine... I'm thinking maybe the Meguiar's Gold stained my finish some how?

Do yall think I need to a Bar Keepers friend / Windex treatment to get back to baseline? Then maybe use OPT ONR as a maintenance clean?

Spots I can't Get out:

Kirkland baby wipes will probably take care of those spots. When you use one, wipe with a microfiber towel while the area is still wet. Comes right off. Just discovered this last night. And no, I’m not kidding, lol.

Ammonia free spray away with microfiber cloths works amazingly well for me on water spots and prints: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Sprayway-Glass-Cleaner-Aerosol-19-Oz/19662711

It’s $2.50. I would try this before messing with barkeepers friend.


Then for when you wash the car again, make sure it’s morning or dusk / not in direct sun to give you time to try and use a waterblade

You’ll miss a few spots with the water blade, but you can easily touch up the few drops here and there with spray away after it’s all dry

I've tried Sprayway without success thus far.

Whoa... I just robbed some of my kid's baby wipes.... Huggies... They work! WOW

 

[Red Beard Ops]

Lol this is going to take a while... this is two doors:

I'm seeing some residue left by the wipes... I'm guessing after I'm done getting around the whole truck I can do an OPT ONR wash to even things out? That's my current plan

Edit: I still plan on doing the procedure above with the rinse less clean, but I did test a spot with Sprayway and it does seem to remove the swirls left by the baby wipes decently.

Much better after OPT ONR !

Just get it to a manual car wash with a foaming brush and warmer water.
Spray it with soap, rub with foaming brush, rinse with power rinse and scrub with wet cloth, if necessary, but use a moist cloth to wipe off water (squeezing regularly) and a dry microfiber to get really dry (it may take a couple to stay dry).

And in post #21, the wipes on the ground, the second picture is an example that you can't wipe dirt off the truck! You have to rinse it off.

And in case others haven't noticed it, at least my truck seems to get covered in black dirt. If you just wipe it, the cloths get filthy! It's got to get rinsed off.

I was a little surprised on the dirt considering I foam cannon, scrubbed with micro fiber and rinsed with power washer the day before ?

I believe that it could also be tarnish from the Stainless Steel, I believe. Which is why I'd rather use simple soaps and stay away from things that wear away at the body.

The key is to wipe a small area with a wipe and immediately follow with a microfiber towel while it’s still wet. When I did that there was no visible residue that I noticed. But at the end I also wiped everything down, but in sections, with a lightly dampened microfiber towel, drying with a second towel before it dried on its own. I did this at night when the truck was cooler (under artificial light).

If using wipes alone, it will definitely leave marks.

Windex won't help the water spots, but Bar Keeper's friend will. Might use a rust-out like lime-away as a single shot solution, too.
