    washing white paint still dirt left over?

    hey guys,

    ever since getting a white car I always run into this problem after I use Meguiars Lambs wool Wash Mitt washing my car and then rinse off I always has dirt left over on the doors.

    never had this problem on other color cars before...is it because of my wash mitt or should I quickly rinse after using wash mitt?

    thanks

    What is your wash process?

    Are you using a 2 bucket wash method?

    Do you have have grit guards?

    How often are you rinsing you wash mitt?

    Hmmmmm, I have a white truck and find it easy to wash,always comes out clean unless I go without washing it for along period of time.
    Last time it was so dirty I had to wash it twice.
    I make sure to have a good sealant on it,that way nothing bonds to the paint.

    The only time I had trouble with my white truck was when I went like 8 months without washing it...

    But even then I still got it clean, just took a little longer...

    When I had a white WRX it was hard to keep autogeek clean I would see little spots and not 100% clean all the time even after washing it using some ZAIO always cleaned it right up though

    Yes I use 2 bucket wash method with grit guards.

    After washing each panel I rinse the wash mitt.

    No I didn't miss it, just after rinsing it I can see left over dirt.

    Use a cleaner wax to remove the remaining dirt.

    It has nothing to do with your car being white
