Took about 3+ hours but my Black Optima is back to looking ultimate. I did notice there are still a few faded water spots on the glass which I will address tomorrow but otherwise CarPro Spotless and about 15 micro fiber towels did the trick.
All because of you guys. :dblthumb2::dblthumb2...
Thanks Allen!
Yup my towel is probably not the best quality so going to see if I can find one at a local supplier. My technique needs to be revisited as well. Performing in the garage with excellent light so the sun is not a factor.
Thanks again

Yup, I cannot tell a lie. I was washing in direct straight sunlight. I had my wife literally spraying car off continuously as I washed it but that obviously just didn't work. :cry: I have actually sent a sample of my water to a place to analyze for free my water condition.
Now the good news...
I just washed my black Optima and even before I could dry it, water spots were scattered all over the car. I had a slight issue with this before but never like this now.
I have looked thru the posts but could not find a few answers to my questions.
Please someone help!!!

Being new I am researching like a big dog! :)
I have watched most of the How To information (thanks Autogeek!). I am still a little concerned on a few things.
I was looking at bulk purchase of Microfiber towels on Amazon for use on the car exclusively. The price looks great and some Amazon...
Again being new (and I have watch a ton of videos so far), is Hex Logic the way to go for 5.5" DA pads.
Honestly I am looking for pads to just touch up a few swirls and one light scratch and a super finishing buff. I don't want to necessarily purchase a pad kit if it is not needed.
Also I...
I probably didn't word this correctly. My apologies.
I am asking if when one performs a good polish-wax task, will the car be better looking than when a car that first comes from the dealership that has been buffed.
Thanks

WOW. Thanks to everyone for their input. I think I am first going to try the traditional till it gets a little sunnier and warmer. then I might give the CQuartz a go and document my experience.
thanks all

As I have stated in a previous post, I am new to the detailing arena.
I did post a question regarding Pittman's Vapor Wax but no one commented.
Feed back please
Regarding CQuartz and other comparable competitive products, does this product replace the ritual polishing and waxing?
Do...
I am new to the detailing arena. As I purchase a few necessary startup products I am wondering what should I expect. I have a new black KIA Optima. It is buffed out and shines like a nice new car.
With the new wash\clay\polish\wax products, should I expect to just retain the factory sparkle...
I know this might be a subject not wanting to hear about from what I have seen on other sites but I would sure like an objective answer on this product. Is this new product APC Vapor Wax from Mr Pittman worth the dollars spent and has anyone really tried this? Feed back please
Thank you
