The only difference though is that most rain is significantly different than tap/house and well water. You can level the playing field w/ water softener / cartridge. This can really help to reduce spotting created by hard water at the house.

Allowing the car to remain wet provides more protection and ease in that the combination of the standing water, and the lubricant, makes claying that much easier. If you want to dry it, by all means do. Just be sure to use plenty of lubricant in claying. Ed |

what is the best way to keep from getting water spots. For example I wash the car (Black) dry it with shammy and ring as needed but even when it is almost dry it still leaves some lines on occasion or very small water spots where the end of the shamy was wet. I can keep going over it with the shammy but it continues to leave a little bit even when I ring it out good. And then it drys quicker between shammy wipes meaning I am actually using the shammy to remove the spots but then leaving other spots again. Its so frustrating. For the most part its not all over the car but when I get close to the last few spots I cant seem to keep from getting them. I try to keep the car wet until I get to other areas. HELP

Saved for later. Chris I probably will buy the water softener canister and cartridge. That is a great idea. Is there anyone on here who uses it?

I have a black 2SS and have had great success removing water marks with a 10 parts distiller water to 1 part vinegar solution. Then lightly drag a microfiber towel soaked in the solution over all water spots. This advice came from Tropi Care.
