Wash in the shade or at night. I washed my black CTS-V during the day here in Arizona once.. Key word there being "once"... Another item you may want to invest in is an in-line filter for your hose if your water has high mineral content like it does here. That alone will go a long way in...

PO85-RD is AWESOME as a final polishing/jeweling step. It is a diminishing compound and will clean off extremely faint swirls and micro-marring. It's great for a "maintenance" type compound. I.e. doing a light re-polish every 8-12 months to get rid of minor swirls and clear coat damage a car...

I'd give it a shot. Count me in!

That's an extremely thorough and impressive job there. :xyxthumbs:

Nothing.. My car is too low for the wheel wells to be seen... Plus I don't drive it in the rain so the undercarriage doesn't require much upkeep.

Having done a correction and loads of finish maintenance on my own black V, I'm also curious what you used on this one.

On my personal car, I'm cleaning the wheels on an almost weekly basis and all that's needed for them is a spraydown/wipedown with some quick detail spray. Just been using the cheap Meg's purple bottle stuff. Also recently tried the Armor All Wheel Protectant spray. It's DRASTICALLY cut down...

Mid 90's here in the Phoenix area. Just a slightly "warm" day for us.

Do almost all my polishing work at night. The sun here is too brutal to wash the car while it's still up. The only way I can get a totally waterspot free wash, even with an inline filter, is to wash at night. Best time is right after the sun dips below the closest tree line so I have a little...

Man, I dunno if it's one of the contributing factors to your lack of results, but there's no way I'd ever attempt a clearcoat correction without some sort of DA or powered polisher.

I machine dry mine. No dryer sheets or fabric softeners though..

Get both?

Yeah. I was definitely fuming yesterday but odds are I'll just let it go and not bother mentioning it next time he shows up. He's a nice enough guy otherwise. Actually does an exceptional job at keeping the creepies out of my house.
