hazy & cloudy after washing - Competition Diesel.Com

Every time I wash my truck it gets really hazy & cloudy. Is the water interfering with the polish?

About 2 months ago I applied some meguiars car polish and the truck looked like glass after I was done. Ever since I did that it gets hazy after washing and I the only thing that seems to get rid of the haze is a spray on wipe off polish.

Try a different soap.

Throw that car polish in the trash and get some Collinite wax.

ha I know it sounds crazy , But i saw this older truck that always parks at our work and it was as clean as could be and i asked him how he kept it the paint so clean! He told just water and a shammy. no soap the soap leaves residue he said? But i have tried it and worked good for me !

I had a green car that got milky/whiteish on one fender only when it was wet, water was getting behind the clear coat when I washed the car, I had the fender recleared and the problem was solved.

what color is the rag after you polish the truck ,,,, if theres any color of the truck on there ,the clear coat is gone or you have single stage paint ..the if its single stage the top coat of uv protection is gone ... and the water and soap is getting in to the paint making it haze
