Hand wash problem - weird spotting

[Crissa]

Instead of using towels, why not a water blade? It won't scratch the truck and makes very quick work of water. The fact that the truck is flat panels makes this seem to be ideal. I use the waterblade on my little Maverick and our Model Y and both look great.

Bonus: It's really fast.

I haven't seen one of these in years! I use one on my Mazda all the time, especially when it rains. Great for taking excess water (or even snow) off; nothing like coming back to the car and finding it just frosted in fog or dew... but a swipe of this will take it (and whatever dust accompanied it) right off and clear the windows and mirrors.

Not sure it'll help with waterspots, but certainly reduces the number of towels you need.

The spots in OPs post don't look like water to me. They look oily.

Do you apply tire shine? Excess can splatter onto the exterior.

Definitely looks like tire shine spatter…. Gotta be something… Does it wipe off with Spraway? I’d go with Barkeepers friend and see if you can get it off.

Actually if there’s any dirt even microscopic it will scratch , your dragging it across the surface, ask any detailer , I use a leaf blower ( electric) now that’s fast and you don’t touch the surface. Also a spotless system like CR spotless , well worth the money ??
