Streaky paintwork!! :-(

Post by Simmo500 »

Hey,

Washed my car today, in the sun.. I have a red corsa breeze and as it dried It
Left white/pinky streaks on the paintwork as the water ran down!! :-( is always had quite nice glossy red
Painwork for the age... So I'm gutted about this as I'm a bit of a perfectionist! Can anyone tell me
How to get rid ofthis without using tecut as I'll eventually rub the paint off all together if I keep doing it every time I wash it!

Thanks in advance!

First thing is don't wash it on sunny days and to wipe off the water with a shammy leather cloth, that should stop it drying to quickly and causeing the streaks :thumbs:

Yeah that sounds like good advice actually. Lol. Gone are the days of washing the car in the sunshine :-( lol. I got rid of the streaks about 80% with some decent wax and alot of elbow grease ! Thanks!
