Yes I just went through this.
Long story, short.... the local dealer here was gettting my car wet for 2 days straight in the hot summer sun. It actualy etched into the clear coat!
some pics after 4 washes....yes I said 4 hand washes





I was able to get it out... it took some time.
I first used Adams clay bar, then Pinnacle Advanced Swirl Remover with my Dewalt buffer on CCS Foam Pads
then I followed up with 3 hand coats of P21S Concours-Look Carnauba Paste Wax

The look now is PERFECT!!! I will have to get a few shots. The paint just POPS and it looks to be an inch thick,

Always wash out of direct sun. If you have to wash in the sun....get some help and keep it wet. I typicaly wash in the late evening when the paint to cool and shaded.

Heck, I have been known to wash in the rain too, yes I need help


Someting like this may help too.

Great advice but in his case not practical.
The evening thing has had limited success
but again, one cannot always wash in the
late evening.

Is there something that can be added to
the hose that will soften the water?

There's this:



I've never used it so I can't say whether it works or not.

Our laundry room is close to the garage. I just realized I could connect the garden hose to one of the faucets that the washer connects to. hmm..

Next time use this....

This used to happen with my Avalanche. The only thing you can do to avoid it is to wash the car in shade if possible, and in sections. You could try that Mr. Clean thing and it might help.

Remember; with hard water shade makes no difference.
