Well, here are the pics as promised of some new stuff.
Tried out the water filter with my Karcher 1400PSI PW today and was very pleased. It was starting to rain after so I didn't even bother using the Guzzler, I have trust in the water filter.
Used DG 901 as my soap for the first time. I have over a gallon of this stuff and WOW! this stuff is soooooooo amazing. Combined this with my Shmitt and cleaned the car amazingly well. Much better than DP's 4:1, but then again, it was a good traditional washing. I also noticed that while cleaning the car, it also helped clean my shmitt. After washing, the shmitt wasn't even dirty!
Also tried DP's Wheel gel cleaner and the black shmitt worked amazingly as expected. Very glad I ordered the black shmitt. No big difference between Megs WB 4:1 (which I usually use) and DP wheel gel, both are great. I feel more comfortable with DP's though on delicate wheels.
Also used Optimum tire shine. Rather different than what I'm used to (used to gels and thicker liquids). However, this stuff went forever! Sprayed 2 little squirts on the tire and spread it with an applicator. I noticed right away that this stuff is GREAT at repelling water. Interested to see how long it will last.
Finally tried DP's Engine cleaner. Worked as expected... PERFECT. The engine was rather dirty so it worked pretty well. I sprayed rather generously and used approximated 3-4 oz's. I could tell right away it worked well and FAST. Much better (obviously) than the Black Magic's engine cleaner I used last year.
As a dressing I used something different. Zep's All Around, I made a thread about it before and I'll let you all know about the durability. I know it will last quite a long time.

No more talking, time for the pics:

I'm glad you enjoyed them. So what difference did your water filter make?
