Default Water Spots After Washing xA

Anyone experience extreme water spotting on the paint of the xA after washing? I do a hand wash with a synthetic sponge in the shade with bucket, water and car wash concentrate. I towel dry it. Anyone have a suggestion on a good car wash solution? I used Armour All concentrate both times and got the spotting curse!! Help!

I use an Absorber. It works great for drying the car. It's a synthetic chamois. I use it to get most of the water off the car. There are still a little bit of water on the car, but it dries clean.

Phantom, happens all over... http://www.shiningmonkey.com/dspeccarwash.php if you try that... you shouldn't have any more problems, it doesnt streak or leave spots on your windows - The towel is pretty important too, you can use our Ultra Plush Microfiber but the absorber is probably the best solution for chamois. Well, that is until we release our Chamois -it's very similar to the absorber but it absorbs about 20% more water. We are currently on month 7 testing the chamois to make sure they are perfect

Any hard water spots can be removed easily with a CLAY BAR.
