Few on the market main one being Raceglaze but cheaper ones available. Got mine from eBay as uses same vessel and resin.
7 litre model good for casual use but will depend on water quality in your area.
Pic looks like it’s dumpy but is same 6x18 as used by others

I do not have "spotless water" but I do have a "leaf blower".
After rinsing of, I simply blow the water off the car (like in a car wash).
The few remaining drops then get wiped off with a microfibre towel.
Takes about 5 minutes to finish off the car after washing.

I have water softener for my whole house supply which helps, then use a plastic rubber scrape thingy to write of most water, then leaf blower for nooks and crannies. Then microfibre with aqua wax.

Still avoid hot sunshine.

At the other extreme, years ago I was washing my car, but the water froze as I was doing so! Needs must though.

I bought a proper blower awhile back but find it very time consuming. Plus had to put car straight in garage after washing.
Then wife bought a black car, nightmare, dries very quickly. This allows a no touch spotless drying. Can even run through jetwasher

Washed wifeys black metallic Merc, rinsed with 0ppm water and left dry in sun on windy day.
Perfect finish! No spots or drying cloth lines and didn’t have to use blow dryer.
Literally a game changer, so easy!

Hi guys I’ve put links above for tanks complete with MB 115 resin and Hozelock fittings
I've used the top one from eBay so can recommend it completely. They all sell the resin separately when required.
In forty years this is by far the best product I’ve bought! The time and effort saved and the perfect result is unbelievable

FWIW - Our water softener has had the same resin in for 10 years and it's still going strong . The water in the South is as hard as, with the Chalk that the water rises up through being a right PITA.

I wash mine in the shade, and use my Stihl leafblower to blow dry and then get my MF towel on it - then it goes in the sun or for a drive.

What I don't get though, is why do you wash the car in direct sunlight?
