I used to have a black car...just used a chamois and it came out spotless everytime. I'm not sure how much time you take but when I give my vehicle a wash it usually takes me about 2 or 3 hours, thats just the outside and no waxing. Take your time....it's part of the enjoyment of owning a car/truck.

 

we got some free micro fiber towel i think what it would be from jiffy lube and i let water dry for bit then in like strips bring this across and havn't has spots or lines yet works awesome i've seen em at auto zone when i ran over the detriot to get parts.

Exactly......'nuff said.

 

didnt you know thats what newbies are supposed to do?!?!?!

 

well i just learned how to wash my black truck lol

 

ya now learn how to polish your damn wheels already

 

I have a red truck. but my dad has a dark green, and whenever we wash them, we use the turtle wax zip wash, kinda leaves a little bit of a waxy look to it. then to dry I use a shamy cloth, its called "the absorber" comes in a variety of colors and can be found at walmart- dont know if youve tried it already, just putting it out there. something that I found was making a constant effort to keep the truck washed down and wet. also, keeping a good coat of wax will help.

 

ouchy lol..there a pain man..but i do em every so often haha

 

if you have a black truck and you are worrying about water spots you better go ahead and trade that sucker in. i have a black truck and i love it. especially when its muddy. makes it look even better. wash it every now and then so you remember what it looks like nice and shiny(all five minutes of it)

 

Mine stays nice and clean looking for about a week, before it needs to be retouched up

 

everytime i wash mine it freakin rains a few days after. my dad says i need to wash it more often. in case you arent from texas....we dont get much rain

 

i just bought my first truck. and instead of letting the dealership "detail" it. i told them i could do a better job than them anyday (not to sound cocky but i really do think so) so i took it home and i had horrible water spots.
just like always though,
meguiar's cleaner wax
meguiar's gold class
meguiar's quick detailer.
passed my "slide test" like a charm. the only spots i see now are the windows and i havent' gotten to them yet.

 

This is probably the best thing to do....by the time you get done with one side...the sun has already made the other side spotty. AND...always use a chamoise (did i spell that right)?

 

holy crap this is an old thread

 

everytime after you wash it use a microfiber and spraywax

 

yup^
