Ok I tested all water sources in my house: Kitchen sink (softened) 444 Bypass softener 425 RO Faucet 49 Fridge water 374 What I meant by having the CR before the softener was that it's tapped before the softener so my CR is receiving straight city water.

Wow, was searching around the web and found my own thread from 6 years ago lol. Anyway I have another question related to softener. Should the CR Spotless be installed before or after the softener? Right now, I believe I have the CR water tapped BEFORE the softener. Wouldnt it make more sense to...

The crazy thing is how evenly distributed the spray was, and it covered 100% of the car!

Clay bar is taking care of it pretty well on the paint, and pure acetone it taking it off the glass. The color of the contaminants on the clay bar is green. So I started looking around the house for something green, suddenly I remembered about a kids table and chair my wife spray painted on the...

Yeah I know, but in normal light you cant even see it. This is a LED flashlight as the source.

Trust me, the stuff you see isnt coming off with a wash mitt and some soap. I tried rubbing a small area with my fingernail and it made little to no difference.

So I washed the car again today and decided to take a closer look at the issue I have going on. At first I thought it was the paint I had, but I now know I have plain old black. As you can see in the pic, the same pattern continues to the rear windshield. The crazy thing is, you cant feel it on...

Well I guess Im just an idiot. Apparently, this is just a different black paint option for my car called phantom black tri coat pearl. I had no idea that this was even an option. What gets me is that it looks very strange under un-natural light. Oh well, live and learn.

Im going to provide some pics, I know it would help a ton here..

It's a 2013. The dots are pretty visible on the hood, roof, and trunk lid. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

My CR Spotless system arrived the other day and I gave it a try. It was dusk and I was low on light, but I got the wash done before dark. The next day my car looked GREAT sitting in the garage. I was happy with the lack of water spots. The lighting in my garage is good, but not great, so I...

Thanks for the reply. Perhaps they should make this more clear for the average car washing noob, because I fell for it. So does the CR have a special kind of resin compared to my house softener?

First post here, been lurking this site for over a decade but now finally have a legitimate question. First, allow me to explain my experience with washing my vehicles over the years, Ill admit Im a noob. Ive owned 2 cars in the last 11 years, both black. Some years ago I tried the Mr Clean...
