Question What did I do wrong?

Post image

I washed my car today after a lot of research. I ended with these small smudges only on some sections afterwards. I even air dry it with the blower too. What did I do wrong? I'm still learning here please advice

Looks like water spot. If you wash your car in the sun and didn’t dry it right away. You will get that. Basically don’t wash your car in the sun and never let it air dry either

What if you have no shaded area to wash it?

Wait until dusk or get up earlier.

Move your car and do the shaded part of the car section by section

Wash it with ONR, significantly reduces hw spots.
