You mean after washing?

Uase a meguiars drying towel after you have hosed it down, you dont get them then at all. Like a chamois only a lot easier and quicker.

No worries - You can try it on mine using my cloth :ok:

If you dont get them all, a bit of meguiars detailing spray and a microfibre cloth sort the job anyway. I use this at shows. No matter how far you have travelled give it a quick wipe over and jobs a goosd un for the rest of the day.
