Washing Car with Well Water

[Todd@Autopia]

As mentioned, well water is not the obvious choice for several reasons.

To help, here is what you can do.

Only wash when you are out of direct sunlight. Never let the water dry on your paint, ever.

Rinse the car often during washing. Get one of those hose-end spickets/valves, so you can quickly unscrew the nozzle and flood the paint with a stream of water. Flooding the paint will force the water to pool up and cascade off. Avoid little droplets sitting for too long.

Use a soap like BLACKFIRE Wet Diamond Conditioning Shampoo that has built in water softeners.

Floor the paint carefully after washing to remove as much standing water as possible.

Immediately towel dry as much water off the paint as possible.

Use a blower, such as the Master Blaster, to blow as much water out of cracks and crevices.

Finally, dry the car, using a high-quality detail spray as final touch. This will clean up any water scum and aid in the removal of any fresh water stops, while also rejuvenating your shine & protection. I actually like to use a BLACKFIRE Wet Diamond Waterless Wash for this final step. Although not a dedicated quick detailer, it adds a considerable amount of protection, slickness and gloss.

Good advice Todd, thanks!

Question, what do you mean by "Floor the paint carefully after washing..."?
