I used this today and I have to say it was perfect, its a little pricey but IMO its worth it. Having a black car and washing it at home about twice a week I needed to find a way to eliminate a process. This didnt leave not even one spot. http://crspotless.com/

For that kind of money I'll come over and wash your car for you.Only joking. Sounds like the perfect thing to wash the car in our area with the weather being what it is.
cheers

Drip dry and not one spot? On Jet Black? Sounds promising.

Whoa! That's cool. Can someone lend me $300ish bucks? I wonder if they'd trade for a kidney...?

$127 for a set of 8 for the Medium Output flavor. Each de-ionizes (whatever that means in this context) 400 gallons of H2O. It'll probably last you 3-4 washes.

Thus, at ~$16 a pop you get 3-4 washes. Not a bad proposition at $4/wash, assuming you are comfortable with the ~$300 initial investment.

I was amazed that yes it drip dried on my jet black car, and not one spot. The unit costs 189.95 + shipping, around two hundread bucks. The two filters give you 100 gallons of water. I rinsed the soap off my car with regular water, and then did a final rinse with this, I probably used about two gallons, so I should get about 50 washes from the filters. Replacement filters cost 16.87 x 2= 33.75 (w/ shipping). So thats .67 cents per wash!!!! I will also use this to wash upper windows on my house. Next time I will post pics during the process for everyone to see.

Last year we had a domestic water softener installed.

I made a point of getting a dual soft/hard water link to the outside so I could use soft water to wash the car if I chose.

Using softwater makes a huge difference, the paint shines better and dries with hardly a mark.

Hopefully the miniscule amount of sodium left in the water will not make my baby fall to bits with rust !
