The very reason why I AM and WILL ALWAYS BE on distilled water in the windscreen washer water reservoir. Even tap water would also cause those. Btw, better check your car roof too.....

Giant...sometime 99 Speedmart....

I would normally buy the HUGE bottle one, can't remember what's the size. I've heard of plenty of people using consumer RO or water filter machine but I don't think distilled water machine is that commonly found in 'normal' household.

Anyway, I don't use it a lot la (detailing related) except for pre-mixing those dilutable stuffs for lengthy storage or mixing those 'sensitive' chemical like IPA or the like. APC, Degreasers, or the others I just use plain tap water only....

I...errr....wash my mf cloths....err...once a month....maybe....LOL

Best for fabric would be an extractor...pressurized steam/hot water extractor is even better. If you want to DIY - foaming carpet/fabric cleaner (those in spray can that doesn't 'wet' the fabric much), soft brush (like the shoe brush), wet/dry vacuum, cloths, sun (this few weeks would be a good time since the weather is very hot and dry).

I meant steam extractor or hot water extractor. Steam alone can clean but it would just pushes the dirt/stain around or further into the fabric, so you'd need vacuum extraction to truly get the dirt/stain OUT.

The ones I regularly used are drying cloths only...and occasionally mf for applying spray waxes/sealants. But those used for buffing off polishes, waxes/sealants, etc. I don't leave them for too long. Applicator for dressing I use cheapo ones, never wash, if unusable then I just throw away or wash and use as rag. Most recently for dressings I kinda like using the Sonax Polishing (?) cloths....cut into smaller pieces...once used up throw away also....

That kind of stain & dirt....you'd need to do the whole shibam.....steam, spray cleaner, brush, extract, cleaner again, then extract again....

Actually, hot water extractor are quite common if you go to the more reputable detailers or the better equipped carpet (normal household) cleaning services. If you have the budget and looking for a steamer/extractor/vacuum, try google for 'Polti' (home/consumer) or IMEC has the commercial ones, just for info la.

but...but...but....those I didn't get free wor.....I buy one wei....

I haven't use the cloth for polishing paint, though I have tried it for chrome. Kinda like using it for plastic/rubber trim/interior dressing as uses less product and spreads more evenly. For coating I haven't tried...

No idea man....if you got more info please share la. Cuz I find that it's quite useful and wouldn't mind stocking up with some more of them for everyday use...

Honestly speaking, they look a lot more like those lintless cloths/wipes used in clean rooms/hospitals but a little bit thicker....but that's only because I have some of those...

So....review la bro....hahaha....

Can you do me a favour? Wet them with water then wipe some glass a few times, as if you're polishing the glass....see if any of them leave any lint or residue. Thanks.

What type of 'hazing'? Is it whitish haze or streaks of dark/bright patches?

Secondary gassing out...was still 'wet' when you're done. Probable cause are using too much product or cloth already saturated with product or damp. Could also be that the haze you're seeing is dirty ( BSD mixed with dirt) BSD that couldn't bond to the paint. Did you spray on car or on cloth? You'd need two cloth when using these kind of products - one for spreading and one for final buff...or change side to dry side when doing final buff. After final buff the surface should be dry to touch.

Have you tried going over the effected area again with BSD? Or normal shampoo wash? That should be able to remove or at least reduce the hazing. If not then I could be wrong and it's something else instead.

BMW's paint is quite hard. Had a few experience with them previously. It took a wool pad with M105 and quite a few passes to remove some minor swirl marks on a Z4. And I was unable to remove 3000 grit sanding marks with a polishing pad and M101 on an E35. Mind you I'm talking about using a rotary here....I can only imagine how it would be with a DA

Curious about this also. Had never had this kinda problem. Keep us updated ya...want to know also.

Don't want to poke the dragon's den...might get burnt....
