Well it is a mini van.....I called CPS (Car Protective Services).
Lorne: My hat's off to you for bucking the typical trend and trying something new, hope it works out well for you. But, I wanted to mention that filters on your water system will help a little but the majority of minerals are dissolved in the water and no filter can remove them. Distillation, an RO membrane, or a softener (aka a de-ionizer) are the only ways to remove those water-spotting solids.I agree that less minerals in the water if you can filter it is wise.
i've had this exact experience. I failed to mention it when I replied on this thread as another reason to go away from the pressure washer/foam cannon. I find soap everywhere.. seeping out from the spoiler, in the trunk lid well, etc etc... I end up having to blast with the pressure washer when rinsing to try and get it all out of the crevices...Agree with Lorne, regarding the pressure washer. Asked about the final rinse before drying. Guess most don't think that is very interesting or considered a key part of the cleaning.
As this thread is beyond over thinking, making a mountain out of a mole hill. Going to join the format presented .
I flood rinse, pre-soap and after, allowing the water to wet the surface longer. Raising dirt or soap off the surface and moving.
After washing, I find areas like the mirrors, splitter, tail light & for my trim the spoiler. Will take multiple rises before the water is soap/suds free.
And continue to rinse the whole car, until only water is seen, then dry.
Pressure scatters and blows water/soap into crevices. Then appearing during drying, and from some areas, driving.
Water seeping from these areas will contain soap residue, if a good rinse was not preformed.
In depth and over thought out cleaning post # whatever. The only point being made is. Maybe consider, soap residue after the foam canons, 50 bucket washing. Could be foiling your hard work
A final rinse prior to the drying process is probably just as important as the initial rinse. The final rinse will remove any lingering dirt and, of course, soap residue.Agree with Lorne, regarding the pressure washer. Asked about the final rinse before drying.
