The Best Way To Dry Your Car And Prevent Watermarks

If you do your detail work by yourself, you are most likely dealing with the problem of spots appearing on the body, making it look like you never cleaned the car. That can be really frustrating. But fortunately, you can avoid it by putting a few basic measures in place. Once you apply these tips before waxing, washing, or drying your car, you can prevent these stains and the eye-sore that comes with them.

The regular lint deposit is a major cause of the spots on your car. For instance, the unused lint accumulates moisture on a specific section of the car’s body, leading to the appearance of a round spot that gets lighter than the paint after complete drying. Likewise, the lint facilitates streaking, another major deformation that becomes even more prominent with time.

A microfiber cloth ensures zero accumulation of lint after drying the car off after waxing or washing. While paper towels, hand towels, or bath towels forces the lint deep into the surface, the microfiber cloth holds it lightly to the surface.

The bright midday sun can be an inviting period to clean your car. But it is not the best time because it leaves unsightly effects on your car’s exterior surface when waxing or drying the vehicle. The car surface becomes hotter when exposed to direct sunlight. However, the exposure is uneven, leading to the formation of spots and streaks of different sizes. In the end, the car appears like it was never washed.

The best time to wash your car is when the weather is cool. Alternatively, you can do it under a shade or in an interior area with adequate midday sunlight. Such conditions do not adversely affect the eventual appearance of your car after waxing, drying, or washing.

You can still have spots on the surface of your car despite avoiding the sun and using a microfiber cloth. And that is because the mineral deposits from the soft or hard water you are using to wash your car dry up irregularly to form a thin and awkward-looking residue on some parts of your car surface. The deposition is similar to what you see when there is soap scum in the shower or when you leave a dirty drinking glass unwashed in the sink for too long.

Therefore, we recommend that you opt for filtration systems that filter your water directly from the central source or just the water coming out from your hose. If you prefer the latter, you only need an attachment filter that is fastened onto the nozzle. The goal here is to filter the water and remove the hard water minerals that cause spots, leaving your car shining after washing and more prepared for effective waxing.

While other brands offer only single filtration inline water filters, AQUACREST goes above and beyond to deliver an advanced composite filter with superior resin. As a result, our filter reduces water spots efficiently, removing the need for a microfiber cloth. It also makes your job faster and easier.

You can reduce more harmful chemicals in your water more efficiently with our multiple-filtration filter. Thanks to its 5-micron filter aperture, it is effective against bad odor, taste, chlorine, and sediments, ensuring you get clean water that keeps your car’s paintwork perfect.

This filter spots a compact and lightweight design and is ready to use straight out of the box. The kit comprises a soap-blasting nozzle, a resin bag, an 8ft input hose, a TDS meter, and a Rinse’ n’ Go unit.

The deionization effect ensures that all the minerals and contaminants that cause spots are eliminated from your tap water. However, you may use up the resin bags faster if you are dealing with super hard water.

This CR spotless water system gives you a perfect wash and dry, with no spots whatsoever.

With the DIC-20, you can get up to 300 gallons of mineral-free, deionized filtered water, although this may vary due to your water quality.

There are two 20-inch deionization housings, each with replaceable and refillable cartridges that easily slide into the watertight tubes.

The entire unit sits conveniently on a powder-coated, anti-rust rolling cart, making movement seamless and storage easier. All the parts and accessories for installation and first-time use are included in the package.

Therefore, in the box, you get 2x 20-inch deionizing resin cartridges, a stainless-steel input line, a spray nozzle, a battery-operated water purity indicator with a 1-year lifespan, and a spray nozzle.

Considering its speed and ease of use, it is easier to use a spray or “jet” feature with the hose when rinsing your car. However, it is less efficient and almost always leaves spots on your newly washed cars after drying.

A better alternative is using a hose without a nozzle. The setup ensures a free flow that delivers a self-drying rinse with an almost perfect appearance after drying.

You can always get a spotless wash, rinse, and wax if you plan carefully and choose slower, more efficient, and deliberate detailing work over quick fixes. This combination helps to reduce the spots and enhance the shine of your newly washed car.

Imagine the confidence that comes with driving a spotless car into town. You deserve to feel good in your vehicle. Just apply the tips provided in this blog, and you are good to go.
