What shampoo/car wash you use for when you don't have a water softner, and your water is hard as a rock?
 
Be quick and use a leaf blower to dry. Never wash in the sun.

I have been using DP rinseless wash and gloss.
 
It will still spot no matter what you use. None of these products are remove tds from the water. And as soon as you rinse with Your hose your spraying That hard water right back on. Only thing to do is wash in shade or pull in garage as soon as done washing to dry.
 
Here's what I do

- Pull it out of the garage to wash the wheels, tires, and wells. Then I rinse it off and maybe use the foam cannon. Once I'm done rinsing I'll pull it back into the garage. I use a CR Spotless to soften my tap water.

- Once in the garage I'll use two buckets to wash the water. I use distilled water to deal with hard water. However I do add a slight amount of ONR, I figure it can't hurt. Distilled water where I live is only 87 cents so I fill both buckets with distilled.

- Once I'm finished washing I pull it back out to rinse it off and then drive it back in to dry it.

Why don't I just wash and rinse it in the garage? It's too small and there are too many electrical outlets and tools for me to be able to do that. If I ever build a new house I'm certainly going to have a big garage designed into it. By the way, I still get water spots.

True but onr your doing one panel at a time and if your not in crazy direct sun it's hard to have water spots
 
If your doing a normal wash no matter what you use you will get spots when you rinse the car off. Unless you buy a few gallons of distilled to pour over there car after final rinse. Then you will have zero spots cause it should be zero tds water
 
Arizona is sunny with no natural shade. I need invest in the water softner system AG sells, I guess I can place it between my water outlet and hose. Till then I can wash and dry quickly. What is ONR or what it stands for?

Optimum no rinse
 
Get the AG water softener. I did, it works great and my water is like liquid limestone.
