The sheeting method rinsing technique that can help you significantly reduce the amount of water left on your vehicle after your wash process. Using the natural behavior of water to your advantage, this method allows you to remove the majority of standing water from the paint before ever reaching for a drying towel. With less water on the surface after your final rinse, it means less time using your drying towel, saving you time and reducing risk of swirl marks, imperfections, etc.<\/p>\n
The concept behind the sheeting method is simple. When rinsing, instead of using a strong spray pattern from your nozzle, you remove the nozzle and allow a slow, steady stream to run across the surface. Start at the top of the panel and as the water flows over the paint, water droplets will pull together to create a cascading effect. Water has a natural tendency to pull together and stick to itself, causing the flowing stream to collect water and carry it away. This means less water pooling and staying on the surface. Instead, you are lefty with a panel that has less overall water for a much quicker and more efficient drying process.<\/p>\n
Ideally, remove the hose nozzle so the water is free-flowing and start from the top of the vehicle. As water drops down the panel, continue to follow with your hose. You will notice the water almost pulling itself down toward the ground. Slowly follow the downward direction of the water until you reach the lower panels of your vehicle.<\/p>\n
You will be left with less water on the surface, making the drying processes much quicker and easier overall!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
