Wipe it down with 50-50 mix of vinegar and water. If that doesn't work you're going to have to use a finishing polish like Meguires 205 and a random orbital with a medium pad

You will then need to re seal.

Yeah I tried some 50/50 vinegar and water yesterday but they are still there. It was the 5% diluted cooking vinegar.

I have never used an orbital, now I really wish I had someone nearby.

I'm sold on rinseless. I will probably never use water on my own vehicle again unless it is a mud or salt situation.

I have several customers that rinseless would be great for, and plus mobile customers!

The savings in water is tremendous.

I use 1 gallon of Chemical Guys Rinse Free Wash & Shine, 10 towels and a 32 oz spray bottle of the rinse free. Spray down heavily then wipe with very wet towels. One towel per panel. Dry with premium mf cloth.

Thanks to GlenE for the rinseless suggestion.

Yeah it is great stuff! You run a detail business? Thinking about doing one myself for quite a while now...and yes rinseless would be perfect for mobile customers.

Yes so many people were asking me who detailed my car that I went and got cards, licenses, permits, tax ids, DNA testing, STD testing, rectal exams, DBA, LLC, and had a government chip implanted. Each one had a $60 fee.

So now I am a detailer

But I have been busy and I am in the black after buying lots of gear and product.

Did they implant the chip during the rectal ?

I get the same thing all the time, just had someone tell/complain to me yesterday that they got ripped off by a local detailer and that I should have my own detailing business. I love doing it, hate working for someone and hate what I do for a living. May send you a PM with some questions if you don't mind.

In the words of the Grateful Dead, "Keep your Day Job!" haha

I work for the state 7-3:30, then detail cars until after midnight. It's tough but the money is good and I like detailing cars. I also own apartments and play music on the weekends.

Keep the job you hate and detail cars. That's what I'm doing.

I converted to a rinseless after reading this thread. Had lots of doubts. Worked amazing!!!! Won't be going back to the hose and 2 bucket method, that's for sure.

What is nice about the rinseless too is that it is quick...my SRX was dirty the other day from a little bit of rain which makes a mess, did it the other night from start to finish including cleanup, in like 45 mins.

That reminds me ;time for my annual replacement for the rinseless towels, these work great, and are an excellent value for 10 of them:

A perfect drying towel, you only need one:

ok, so i think now, i can spend some time for self cleaning after last 2 weeks being out of town busy for the work. Meanwhile got all the items in hand shipped from autopia.

Car was standing outside and was having enough dirt. Went for touchless car wash yesterday but after i drove back to home (3 miles), found that it needs clay too.
So my question is on Step1 (Prep Car Wash) itself. Step2 (Applying BF TPnS) & Step3 (applying BF CS) are much clear to me.

How to do car wash for initial prep because i don't have space and hose arrangements. If i had, i would have gone for Dawn Wash with clay too. Any advices for step1 prep or initial car wash.
1) Shall i do rinseless (Duragloss) and then do step2 & Step3
2) Or Shall i make Dawn solution, apply the solution with wet MF, clay it and without rinsing, dry the car with Weaffle Weave towel
3) Or shall i again go back to touchless carwash, rather driving back to home (3 miles) there only, use clay with some clay lubricant / detail spray / waterless spray (which one?) and there only perform step2 and step3
4) or any other choice do i have

Forget rinseless at this point, it's got polymers that you don't want to put that back on the surface. At this point

The blackfire polish will take off anything that's really left on the surface. Just do your best with Dawn and microfiber in a bucket and then rinse with another bucket of water. And at the same time clay While using the dawn. I do it all the time. If you are paranoid, get a third bucket of Clearwater and rinse the car again. Then start your blackfire polish.....read the docs in my signature, especially the doc called 'up down side to side" for application of the polish and the Crystal seal.
