Touchless wash

Well it rained unexpectedly last night and by the time I woke up, there were water spots on my car. I have recently gone to an all touchless wash to reduce the swirling after I polished my car. Many people say touchless wash will not remove rain spotting. Here's proof that it will, if you use the right products.

Materials:
Chemical Guys Extreme Wash & Wax

Chemical Guys Rinse Free Wash & Shine

Chemical Guys Foam Cannon
Chemical Guys Blow Dryer

First, I pressure rinsed the car. I mixed 200ml of Chemical Guys Extreme Wash & Wax with 1 oz of Chemical Guys Rinse Free Wash & Shine concentrate with 800 ml of warm water in a Chemical Guys Foam Cannon. Applied foam with the cannon and let it dwell for 5-10 minutes.

Rinsed with open hose.

Blew the water off with the blow dryer.
No water spots on the roof.

Is it perfect? No. The organic stuff is still on the car.

A little EcoSmart Waterless Wash and a super soft towel and its gone. This is the only wiping I had to do. That's a big difference compared to rubbing with a mitt, wiping with towels, etc.

I wonder if a good dousing of any WW and 6-8 min of dwell time then pressure rinse would achieve a similar result? Cool trick though Kirk. Thanks for sharing. BTW: Do you work for CG? Or just like everything they make.

Nope I am retired from gubment.

The key is adding 1 oz of rinseless concentrate to the foam cannon.

Were the water spots gone after you pressure washed the car (i.e., before you foamed it up)?

Take me out... in the morning dew...

I couldn't get a good picture of that but they were still after pre-rinse.

I should add that the car has been treated with McKee's Hydro Blue.
