I have finally taken some time to do a review of the virtues of owning a CR Spotless water system. I did another quick article on this system that might answer some of your questions.
I have owned one since last year, and really like all the benefits. These include: increased cleaning ability of soaps, no phantom water runs on paint (you know the kind that come out of unknown crevices), ability to wash in full sun, and true ability to do a home touch-less wash and dry. I mix most of my chemicals with DI water to increase effectiveness. ONR and DI work great.
What I’m trying to show in these photos is the difference in foaming ability with and without the CR Spotless.
With the CR spotless in use, nice thick long lasting foam, excellent dwell time
Without the DI System, thin short lived foam
These water drops will not leave ANY spotting behind, it would be cool to show a time elapsed video of the drops drying! You can also see this paint has not a spot on it after drying in full sun.
I’m extremely happy with my CR Spotless set up, as we have pretty hard water here. If you have a DI system, please post your results.If you don’t have one, you should strongly consider one so you too can achieve a true spotless wash.
Cheers,

My CR Spotless works great too. You should be aware that even though the water itself won’t leave any spots when drying, if the air has pollen or other particles in it and these land in the water drops on the car they will leave behind spots of those particles. They’re not mineral spots, but they are spots nonetheless. I live near Seattle, WA and we have lots of tree pollen here, so I try to dry the car lightly with a large MF towel before the pollen lands in the water drops.
Brad!
Where in Seattle are you from? I lived for some years just North of the UW. How hard is the water?
You are true once the water beads get ahold of fall out in the air it will spot. If you want to continue to reduce the amount of marring from touching the car during the drying process, use a blower. I have one on my shop vac.
Cheers,

I am in Medina, Greg.
I know the area pretty well. I taught on Mercer Island. Are you just down the street from BILL? LoL
Looks great Greg! I hope to pick one of these babies up myself. The benefits are huge, and if only used on the owner’s own car(s), the resin bags should last quite awhile.
These seem so expensive, but definitely worth the cost if you have a dark car. i dont have that problem (i have a white car!) but i may still consider this as i would love knowing the water will not leave hard water spots. Thanks for the wrte-ups!
