yep .. i use this for rinse

water is 0ppm so pure ... these are resin di vessels lasts me about a year to clean 3 cars and all my house windows

+1 for water filters, makes life easy.

I buy demin water from a Spotless Water dispenser. About £1 for a 20litre drum full. After hose rinsing the car I use a pump sprayer with the demin water followed by blow dry with a pet drier. Spotless.

Mines only been 4 months but washed this morning and it made me smile how good it looks when I just walked into the garage to get some stuff out of the second fridge.

Ooh, thanks for the heads up on that - one just up the road from me so signed up for a fob

After reading these comments all I can say is, wow some serious car pampering going on here.

You don't even need a fob, just put your credit card in and it charges when you have finished. I bought a 25l container from Machine Mart. Pump sprayer is a camping shower I was given.

How does the 25 litres pan out - I figure as a fine spray that’s several rinses?

Was considering something like this, although half the volume…

I get maybe 3 or 4 rinses from 25l. My final rinse is more of a jet than a spray, to wash the previous droplets off. I took the spray end off my pressure shower.

what products do you use to clean? If mine is really bad, i.e. winter salt/grim etc., I'll use this Autoglym TFR at 1:32 as per instructions, then pressure wash off, then either Bilt Hamber Autofoam as a pre wash (if not using TFR) and pressure wash off and hand wash with whatever shampoo I happen to have, or Autoglym Polar Blast, then Polar Wash and then a rinsing agent Autoglym Polar Seal.
I must have loads of different products I've bought over the years, so I'm gradually using them up
I've also tried Showroom Shine (waterless wash/wax) and also Super Polish Pro's waterless wash/wax for finishing off.
