    My Rims and Sea Salt at the Beach

    Ok cool thanks. I didn't even give that thought. But I rinse my truck at home all the time after it rains and I must getting water spotting and never had that issue when washing it a few days later then. And would water spots be that hard to get off that I had to use optimum metal polish...

    Maybe a dumb question

    so i guess the question is should I even bother. i always did it in the winter cause the road treatment (that spray stuff) is wicked on finishes. it rots through metal so fast if left on cars. i always would stop on the way home from work and spray off my truck, go home and grab my wife's...

    Maybe a dumb question

    I always wonder this. Especially in the winter when it snows out. I use a local car wash to power wash my trucks before I hang wash them. I only use water to get the rough stuff off and then go home and bucket wash. Does using just water at these take wax or sealants off. I have heard the...
