used this at the weekend for a quick wash and was amazed to see it did exactly what it says it will do - No water marks!!! left it dry and completely mark free even on the windows! I'm waiting for Rob to explain the scientific reasoning behind this but was pretty impressed. Might be one for thejesus to try?! :wink:

The reason you get water marks is because as the after washing the water collects on flat surfaces. The water then slowly evapourates and leave a resisue of solids that were dissolved in it when it was liquid.

The only way to remove those marks is to stop the water collecting on the flat surfaces (ie wipe it off) or prevent their being any solid in the water to start with.

They just put something in the water so it pisses off the car when you rinse. A bit like TurtleWax Extreme rapid drying wash.

As king says, the get rid of the solids in the water. It's essentially the same as a britta water filter.

Does it not pass the water through a filter that de-ionises it?? or the otherb way around??

Give it time for the wing to get dirty. That way all the panels will match again.
