Seriously - it works well on new cars with good paintwork but it will remove the polish off old cars and leave them looking rather matt - especially red ones!!

Some car washes have a pure-water rinse option and I believe in America most forecourt cars are washed regularly with pure water to keep them looking good ready for sale.

This time of year with the roads dry it works quite well and is quick but it's a different story in the winter when you have tons of mud to rinse off - far too much pure water required to make it viable - plus you leave all the mud on the floor.  Been there!!

Generally takes 2 to 3 days, depending on atmospheric conditions for the deterioration of the paintwork to become noticeable.

In warmer drier conditions, such as now, the process takes a little longer. You'll first notice it on those cars where oxidation has previously occured. Any further ingress allows the water to further cause paintwork deterioration.


Once the water has been in contact with the paintwork surface usually only a thorough application of a paintwork restorer will be sufficient to stop any further damage, this is usually achieved by using a paint restoration product such as T-Cut.

Good luck.

I've clean my own car and van with wfp and had no probs. However I don't think I would be so daring to try it on someone elses car because if paint came off etc I'm sure there would be some serious issues to be sorted out with you and the owner of the cars.

Wfp doesn't damage paintwork on cars, however it will when used with a brush take wax off of the paintwork. This is usually not a problem as you will put wax back on after cleaning I your doing the job properly. However some old cars have sun bleached paint work and red is a good example, to restore their paintwork some people use a Color wax, however the problem is when we come along and scrub off that color wax they think we have damaged their car when in actual fact all we have done is removed the color wax.
