Thanks SW! :D I'll keep that in mind. What else do you suggest vinegar be used for when cleaning the car? Anything specific? Thanks again! B)

A quick Vinegar rinse will remove a lot of surface problems like water spots, left over wax buildup, and road film. I am a "Zaino Zealot", and on those occasions, once or twice a year, when I completely re-detail the car, I wash with Dawn, rinse with vinegar, then claybar, then wash with carwash before applying Zaino. Many speciality detailing shops call the vinegar wash their "acid rinse" and mark the price up accordingly. I do not dilute it, leave it on for 30 - 45 seconds, then rinse it off. Some detailers use a dilute solution of vinegar in a spray bottle to lubricate while claybaring.

How do you guys apply the vinegar onto the car? Do you just pretty much pour it on? I'm just curious, but does it still stink after you rinse it with water?

I put it in a spray bottle

~One man’s opinion / observations ~

a) Removing water spots:

·Use water/distilled white vinegar or an Isopropanol Alcohol solution, 5:1 (adjust ratio as required) or try equal parts distilled white vinegar, Isopropanol Alcohol and distilled water to dissolve the alkaline-based mineral water deposits.

·Use a clean spray bottle and a 100% cotton Microfiber cloth to apply the solution to the glass surfaces

·Wipe off any residue from glass and dry with a damp waffle weave towel

·If any ‘water spots’ remain apply Distilled White Vinegar un-diluted to a 100% cotton micro fibre towel, using a medium/heavy pressure on glass surface.

·If this does not remove the ‘water spots’ use Autoglym Car Glass Polish and #0000 steel wool (use only on uncoated or OEM tinted glass).

·Wipe off any residue from glass and dry with a damp waffle weave towel

·nspect glass for clarity and smoothness.

·Repeat if necessary.

~Hope this helps~
