What is the best way to remove watermarks after washing a car? Everytime I wash my Dad's car I have to polish it else it looks rubbish with all the watermarks. Surely there has to be an easier way, I can't be arsed polishing it every time.

I saw an advert recently for some spray on wax type thing which is easy to use, would that do the trick? Can't remember what its called now though, it comes in a black bottle.

I take it you're drying it after washing it?

I know what you mean about watermarks though. I've got two black cars and unless you wash them on an overcast day, it's almost impossible to dry them before they dry themselves and the watermarks appear. I've got a water softener but I still get them.

If you can't be bothered to do a full wax / polish, buy some detailing spray. You still have to go over the car with a microfibre cloth, but it's a lot quicker than polishing.

In the sun it dries itself very quickly.

Turns out I had some Quik Detailer spray all along, it worked a treat and took 5 minutes on a pretty big car, so happy with that!
