FINALLY! There was a decent day, sunny and nice, so I took #4841 to a car wash to give her a "first bath". MAN!!! What a job! She's still wet too, major water spots, runs and drips...I'm down in the dumps. I spent 1 hour 30 minutes JUST trying to dry every spot and I just kept getting more and more discouraged. There are these "splotches" ALL over her, don't know how to describe it except it looks like a kid with sticky hands went all the way around her, pressing their hands on her all over. They were not there before and I'm wondering...could it be the chamois?? I do not have ANY 100% cotton towels yet, but I PLAN to get them, ASAP! I tried so hard to get her dry and spot free, no such luck!
What's a gal to do? Any suggestions? What am I doing wrong? I was thinking she'd be sparkling after her first bath, but she is not. She's got so many of these splotches, it's hard to get even one good angle and a good photo, because of them. I seem to think the splotches were made every time I put the chamois on her body, they look like sponge marks, though I did NOT use a sponge...I simply washed and rinsed with the wand, no brushing, nothing touching her but soap and water.
I'm bummed out...really, is it going to take hours to hand dry her, only to have spots all over still?? Are the towels the trick???
I also noticed many swirl marks and small scratches all over too, seems like I will be getting the other Zaino stuff for that too, hadn't planned on it, but will now.
Any suggestions, I'd be thrilled!!! It was never like this with any other car, and I didn't even try that hard before.
Thanks you guys (gals!)
