Default Cleaning Truck?

After getting back from my Snowboarding trip, I decided to wash my new truck(NBS 07). After hand washing and running it through a laser wash out of pure aggrevation, there are still spots there. So I hand washed it one more time with a different soap and there are STILL spots and streaks. I am rinsing small areas after washing them and doing the same things that I have always done to wash a vehicle. Someone please help!!!!!!!!!! Not being able to get my brand new truck clean is about to drive me crazy[]

Lou, it may be that the rinse water is hard.

ZX, Thanks for the reply. I live near the beach so that may be the case. If so is there a fix for it?

Thanks

Either find a car wash that has a wand and spot free rinse and finish the job there or hook up your rinse hose to a spicket at a home that has soft water.

If the spots are not coming out nmo matter what you trythen you may need to take a clay bar to the paint to get it clean and then a good wax job..
