I used my regular hose connected to my water softner to wash my Coach. I still had spots, but they were easy to wipe off. My question is, should I use my white hose instead? Will it help lessen the spotting? Thanks, John 03 Allure 30951

You may be using too much soap/cleaner.

Spots are usually caused by hard water, not by the type of hose you use.

I use my white hose to wash the coach and my boat...not because of the spotting but because the regular hose leaves black marks when it rubs on the fiberglass.

A water softner exchanges sodium ions for calcium ions. Sodium leaves spots, although not as bad. The only way to avoid hand drying a vehicle is to do a final rinse with distilled water. You can buy it at Walmart for about 88 cents per gallon. I use a pressure washer to pump it out of a bucket and spray it on the coach for a final rinse. It takes about 7 gallons for my 33 ft. coach. Much better than drying by hand in my opinion.
