    Talking Washing the car

    Hi everyone,

    I wanted to share a tip my hubby discovered this weekend. I don't know if it's been posted before but here it is, just in case.

    We have a black car and whenever he would wash it, he would have to towel dry it or there would be terrible water spots. This time he put a little of the cascade crystal clear rinse that you use for the dishwasher in his bucket with the saop and NO spots! I don't usually buy that stuff but I got a free coupon from a P&G home mailer and he thought "why not, I'll give it a try". I can't believe how well it worked! No more towel drying for us!
    HTH someone,
    Kris

    That's funny...I'll have to tell my DH. He used to wash cars for a living. I wonder if he knows this one. Thanks!

    We use jet dry in the water when wash our cars.
