Life of Mixed batches of Rinseless Wash?

Where would you say RO water fits in this scenario?

Reverse osmosis removes contaminates similar to those removed by distillation, but in a different manner. This is accomplished by pushing water through a semi permeable membrane. The membrane allows the water to pass through, but not the larger impurities or contaminates. Reverse osmosis significantly reduces salt, and most other inorganic materials in the water, and some organic compounds. The purity of the treated water is almost equal to that of distilled water.

I take it that was a cut and paste since the font size is different than your last post.

Yes, I am familiar (but certainly not a guru) with the process as I have a system in my home. Perhaps I should have been more precise with regard to my question.

It has been my understanding that RO purification systems is the pinnacle of water filtration. With that, do you consider the CR spotless superior to an RO system? I have no clue. All I know is that an RO system is how our sailors and submariners get their drinking water from the sea.

I am certainly no expert either. IMHO it may be the pinnacle of water filtration systems "for drinking water" but not for removing all minerals (i.e. sodium, iron, nitrates, calcium, potassium, fluoride, copper, magnesium, etc). While minerals are essential to the human body, they also cause dreaded water spots on paint, and if left to long on the paint the even more so dreaded water spot etchings. It is advised against drinking the water produced by the CR Spotless because it removes all of the minerals that the body needs to survive. I'm not sure how well RO water would work for reducing water spots (but I bet it would help significantly). I do know that DI water works GREAT for me...

Well, on this note, since the weather is nothing short of amazing down here right now, I decided to put the rinseless wash away and give a traditional wash another shot. I did a good job following up the dry on the hood, roof and trunk, but ran short on time on the side panels. Gave them a quick towel and had to leave.

Upon returning a few hours later, my car looked like it had taken a salt bath. Not just water spotting, bu spots I was having trouble removing even with QD. I think that will do it for traditional washes for me. I'll be stocking up on my rinseless concentrate in bulk.
