Its the drying as others have said!

I could wash mine five time with chemical guys rinsing it all off each time and if I didn't wipe it with a towel afterward there would still be dried dirt all over the car.

Clay the car. Start with a snow foam, rinse, 2BM wash, rinse, dry with drying towel (place towel on car, pat on areas, lift up, don't swirl/wipe the car, just pat it dry and lift up and move onto the next bit) Clay the car with a clay bar and a decent lubricant, this will get off all the paint defects, dust that is stuck into the paint etc. Rinse, then wax, polish etc.

I use Autoglym for mst of my products, I'm not clued up on most the guys on here but only takes 1-2 hours to wash my cash properally here is my procedure:

o Wet the car with a hose- Gets rid of bird shit etc
o Two bucket system of washing (Autogylm Shampoo)(One soapy, one clean water) Rinse mitt in clean water between panels, reapply in soapy)
o Rinse with hose
o Spray with Autoglym rapid detailer, clay bar, using a £2 coin size piece, if you drop it, bin it. Up and down all over, spray reguallly to keep lubricated.
o Two bucket system wash (Fresh buckets)
o Dry w/ microfiber
o Autoglym polish w/ high detailer cloths (look like bandages)
o Wax with Purple Haze

Costs abour £80 for all that stuff, will last a while, get a plastic trim restorer from poundland to get polish off trim

Also have nanogel tyre stuff

Some of the pro's can give me feedback?
