Vinegar residue left on microfiber cloths?
Hello all,
Recently put 2 coats of klasse sealant on my car. Went ahead and washed my cloths in tide free and did a 2nd cycle in vinegar. Cloths smelt a little like vinegar when I pulled them out. Came out very nice though after I dried them. So I went ahead and washed the car with the mitt that was in the wash and dried that car. Well the car doesn't seem to have the "pop" as it did when I put those 2 coats of sealant on.
Can vinegar residue on my cloths take off the sealant when I washed and dried the car?
Thank you

Re: Vinegar residue left on microfiber cloths?
What car wash did you use, and at what dilution rate?

I consider it unlikely that any vinegar residue had anything to do with it...or did you use like a whole bottle of vinegar in the wash?

haha no it was about 1/2 cup of vinegar. The car beads nice still just doesn't have that acrylic look to it. Can hardwater strip sealants?

Re: Vinegar residue left on microfiber cloths?
It's more likely you left something on top of the sealant. Car wash soaps (and other soaps) contain surfactants which by design or accident are/can be left on the surface to alter beading, gloss, optics, etc. Or could be hard water residue or some combination of the two.
Just speculation of course because I can't see what you're seeing.

Re: Vinegar residue left on microfiber cloths?
More likely to be residues from the car
wash shampoo that's responsible for the
change in the appearance of the KHGSG
you are experiencing...not the vinegar's.
•Was the vineragy smell still present in the
microfiber towels/mitt after they were dried?
(mine never have it after their dried)
•How long of a time period elapsed between
the KHGSG application and the car wash
session you listed?
Note:
-LSPs, over time, will lose their "luster".

It was about 3 days after the 2nd coat of klasse is when I washed it. Just applied the Klasse this past weekend. The cloths didn't smell like vinegar after they were dried, but once my drying towel got wet from the car I could smell a little bit of vinegar on it

I heard 2 coats of sealant actually dulls the look the sealant gives. If you want two coats it's recommended sealant then wax.

Uh oh...
On several occasions, I've heard (actually it's
read) differently. Here's one such occasion:
