Washing additives

The sun is out, it's like a spring morning. IMHO glorious.

So it's a day to clean and polish the Disco and SWMBO's Beetle.

After washing, hoovering, chamoix and tea break it's time to admire my handy work...... Aaarrgghhhh water streaks, it's not nice.

So a while back I had a car that had GuardX treatment, you washed and then rinsed with a conserver. The result was showroom paintwork and lovely streak free paintwork, rain also beaded off.

I'd like to achieve this nice clean appearance on my Disco but don't want GaurdX (cost). Any thoughts on how to achieve this at a resonance cost.

Many thanks.

Rinse with deionised water, or rainwater if you can collect it...

Or, get yourself some Duragloss Aquawax, or Meguiars Last Touch, to be used when drying...

Oh, and ditch the chammy, and buy yourself a couple of proper drying towels.

Thankfully mother nature tends to 'give and take' in this part of the world; gives the mud and road grime, then removes it with the next torrential downpour Thumbs Up
