You do have to use their soap. It has a polymer in it to help it dry spot
free. The filtered water part really isn't all that much. Like it spritzs
out. You do it after you rinse heavily with unfiltered water. Then you just
spray over the whole vehicle again on the filtered setting. There is a
touchless car wash by me that does the same kind of thing. It's all
pressure washed. Then does a spotless rinse. Which would work a lot better
if the pressure washing was able to get more of the dirt off the vehicle.
