When I worked as the porter manager at a car dealer, we used to have a HUGE
R.O. unit that we used to get our rinse water from. For those that don't
know, R.O. is reverse osmosis. The process takes everything out of the
water, leaving high quality H2O.
It worked great, we could rinse a black car/truck/van with it and park it in
the sun, there wouldn't be any water spots.
