Paint Protection

You usually have your car washed thoroughly when prepping it for a coat of wax. After drying it, you sometimes have watermarks on the paint. Now, if you have your car washed at the corner car wash, they would usually tell you the only way to remove the watermarks is by rubbing it down.

Now, the stains can either be caused by improper prep before applying the car shampoo. If you spray water on a dusty car, you would notice the water sometimes has a hard time clinging on to the paint. The dust acts as a water repellant. And if this happens often, the dust could cling on to the paint and would be difficult to remove later on. An easy way to remove the dust is to use a soft rag and a hose wetting the area you are wiping, rinsing the rag every so often. I would suggest wiping the glass first then the body. This also gives you a feel of the condition of your paint.
