Washed the car yesterday, first time since I picked it up from the dealer 4 weeks ago. They must have put some sort of wax finish on the paintwork and windows as it now has water marks on the bonnet and all of the windows. The windows are bug free but otherwise worse than they were before I washed it (detailers will be crying at my ineptitude there )
You just need to dry it properly once washed. An absorbant microfibre towel (I use a Matrin Cox water wizard one) and a squeegee type water blade are your friend. Just squeegee the water off the panels and wipe it down with the towel. No watermarks and no stripping of any wax layers.
Squeegees are great. Until you get a tiny bit of grit on the blade! Then they are great at putting scratches in your paint.
Thanks, cheers. I thought that might be the case. Never had to do that before but I will need to with this until the coating wears off.You just need to dry it properly once washed.

It is a flat white colour, the windows are just windows. Maybe it was just warm when I washed it, too much in the sun. It definitely beaded when I used the hose and I've just never had a car go that badly before.Not related to the coating, you will get water spots on any paint finish if you don't dry it properly.
Darker the colour the more the water spots will show.
As BiMGuy notes (but as with all things car paint related) just take your time and be careful to avoid scratching or hazing.

Taekwondo - stupid sport. Two fights where were seconds from gold and somehow get silver. I don't like it!
Must admit that to my completely inexpert eyes, there seemed to be a lot of punches that didn't score and I've no idea why or why not.The guy commentating was saying, it can flip in a heartbeat, I was like yeh yeh, whatever mate, don't go explaining anything to this Olympic expert! Then blam, she is in silver! Confusing sport. i couldn't tell what was a scoring shot and what wasn't!!
