Even in hard water areas? Mine is so bad, I have to use bottled water in the kettle or it would be knackered in a week!!

Pat, maybe you need something like Dan@biali has, the hosepipe water filter. Looks a good bit of kit
I think it’s in the projects/quarantine thread.

You need a Di filter mate. Mine was about £80 to set up, then you can rinse it off and let it drip dry.

Wet coat is a sealant. You spray it on a wet car (after washing) and immediately jet wash it off to activate it. It then leaves you with a few months of protection in the same way a wax would but without the effort of applying a wax. The product in itself won’t help you with water marks.

Currently in the process of putting some new shoes on. Looks a bit out of place in its current state but when it’s safe to get the coilovers and the new bumper sprayed and colour coded it should start coming together. I’m going to have to deal with driving a boat for a little bit longer, all aboard! (Or not actually considering the current affairs, sorry chaps)

With regards to the Gyeon-Q2M-wet-coat, not seen this before, and have a stupid question ? Does it need/have to be a jet wash ? or will an ordinary hose spraying it off do ?
