Could this system be used as spot free rinse for car washing?

Should work really well. You will need a separate RO storage tank and pump though.

I haven't tried it for that but I would doubt it. Its chemistry is such that it dissolves grease, fats, oils, and sebum. Although it doesn't react with the minerals in water the way way that soaps do, I still don't think it's the best thing for removing "water spots" ((which actually are small amounts of minerals left behind when the water evaporates from a droplet)). If you have a lot of mineral build-up, you need something designed to remove minerals, such as Lime-Away of CLR. But for light spotting, use: a bit of ammonia diluted in water (especially distilled water, which you can buy from the grocery), vinegar, or commercial cleaners made specifically to clean glass.

My husband says yes you can. He has been through the car wash at least 3 times and it is fine.

I like mine but I purchased it for my chickens and garden. No experience with washing cars. Should work well. Plenty of flow.

These are the best washable pads I've used, but I don't think that they will solve your particular issue as the spots stay wet at the surface. I would suggest the single use pads for your situation.

It can be used in several ways. First intended use: add an ounce to a gallon of water, use a thick microfiber MIT or towel, wet with this solution, to "wash" the vehicle, followed by a drying microfiber towel. "No rinse"... The other common use- a couple ounces in a quart of water, in a sprayer- you can use as a detailing spray. Spray on, wipe off with clean microfiber towel. I use this both ways. Unless the vehicle is covered in heavy nasty gritty dirt, you don't have to spray vehicle with water pre, or to rinse off. The stuff ONR is made of actually lifts and coats dirt particles keeping them from scratching the paint.

No. And it would be a tremendous waste of money since how water and soap will wash it away.

You can use this product on cars that have been rained on, as well as, mildly dirty cars. Use it generously. Make sure you have the proper towels. I use the Griots green ones pictured. I have found that the dirtier the car, the more spray I use. It is important to let the solution set in on your vehicle for about 30 seconds or so to lift the dirt. You really don't need to scrub at all. I would compare application to a detail spray. Spray on, let sit, wipe off with first towel, polish with clean second towel. That's it.

I'm pretty sure it does. I love the system, though. Maybe you could mix a soap water solution and use it instead?

Nothing in it that will hurt your car or the environment. It will not super sudsy as car wash usually is, but if you are not addicted to bubbles you should like the result.

It's great for washing aluminum wheels, but be careful with painted wheels. As to washing a car, the answer is yes, but also be careful. Make sure you use a nozzle that doesn't concentrate the spray too much. The unit comes with a spread nozzle that fans out the spray to about a 30 degree angle. I'd use that. Also, don't get too close to the car. I'd keep the spray about 12 to 18 inches away from the paint. As they say with most of these things, do a little test on an inconspicuous part of the car. A power washer can do a nice job getting a lot of the dirt off the car, but some good old fashioned elbow grease is the safest way to get a heavily soiled car clean. Hope this helps.

I did not use soapy water. I used a claybar lubricant (Chemical Guys brand). In my case, I washed and dried the car, then used the lubricant only. After a complete claybar treatment, I used a microfiber rag to wipe down the car (actually did it as I went), then applied a wax (actually NuFinish).I imagine you can use the claybar with soapy water, but the lubricant is a very different chemical than the soap and does not need to be rinsed off.

I think that there are better options for what you are looking. This is ideal for cleaning the car (as a sponge) but i don't think it would be useful for your task.

I don't think it would work that well. I use simple green and water, it works terrific! I use it for cleaning carburetor...

The product worked well for spot cleaning and eliminating odors. I did not try it in a shampooer.

Short answer - no. This sprayer is designed for dispersing foam and cleaning product over your car or large areas. Then following up with hand wash and sponging or mopping. This will not spray and clean like a pressure washer. Hope that helps. �

Brushless car washes would be ok. I would not go thru a brush wash unless the mirrors were folded in.
