Default Water Spots

I don't know if this someone has already posted something like this, so don't shoot me. Does anyone know how to get rid of water spots on the windshield and body.

best way to wash a car without leaving streaks/water marks is to just focus on one side at a time

each body panel should have its own focus of attention

immediatly after ur done washing a panel, dry it with a clean, soft cloth (terry towels are EXCELLENT)

then move onto the next panels

it takes alot longer but ur car will come out 200x better than just spraying the whole thing and letting it streak then drying

+1, and use microfiber, not terry towels, they aren't much more but they're a helluva lot better!

Don't get water on your windshield or body, j/k. Microfiber towels work best for me. If you remove the nozzle and just sheet the water off the car you'll reduce the amount of water to get off (assuming you have a clean, well waxed car).
