Just my luck

LOL Figures lol

 

OH so your the one who made it rain.

 

Im hoping to make it rain tommorow... Goin to get an empty trailer so I can get my truck washed. I cleaned a spot to place my PTC stickar n realized just how dirty this thing has become...

 

Never fear, the rain itself is not the problem. The problem lies with dirt and contaminates from the road or rarely (depending on area) in the rain.

If your truck is already clean then when you get to an area with Deionized/soft water (also called spot free), just give it a quick rinse from top to bottom.

Although, I do not know how feasible it is for large trucks considering you need to work from top to bottom, this method works the best for minimizing the amount of water left on finish. Used every time I wash a car.

taken from detailing website:

Method
To minimize drying induced marring, you need to touch the paint as little as possible.

The best way to do this is to remove as much water off the paint before you start drying. This is achieved by using the flooding method.

Flooding Method

Start by removing any nozzle from the hose.

Turn your water on to about 50% - 75%.

Slowly let the water flood the paint, starting from the top and work you way down.

On a clean-waxed car, this will cause the water to sheet off taking about 80-90% of the water with it.

After using the Flooding Method you can use your towels & Vac-n-Blo, Leaf Blower or Shop Vac, to remove remaining water from the paint and crevices.


cheers

 

You've got to be kidding us...

The "flooding method" with a garden hose?

 

logging trucks go for the water on the highways to get clean, frieght trucks try to dodge it to stay clean lol.

 

So thats why that guy was goin through the puddles... That explains so much... lol
