Used mine yesterday. Still had a couple of water spots but they easily wiped away (unlike normal water). So powerful too compared to the waterspot ones. Be interested to see how long it lasts. TDS meter is on its way to.

You are just too tight with the water I bet  :P

Make sure you REALLY hose all the joints, mirrors, bonnet gaps etc as that is where the "dirty" water will drip out to leave a stain.

I used to be like you, running around the car with the minimal amount of water used and had some drip stains from the joints. Now I use about twice as much water to give it a real good soak and have nothing left on the paint.

This is getting embarrassing, every time a van goes up the lane outside our house I'm thinking, "that's it" but alas no vessel as yet, and guess what, the sun is blazing down.
Oh well, I can always cut the grass instead. :(

You are too kind. Just had a text saying mine is out for delivery, so hopefully it might still land tonight. Washing the car by moonlight, now that will get the neighbours talking.

LOL. Actually the complete opposite. I used it after jet washing snowfoam and then used to actually rinse off 2 bucket wash. Oh well...lol

:trampoline: :trampoline: :trampoline: it's here, wow! What a difference it makes, and straight down to zero on the tds meter.
I wish someone had warned me about how much pressure build up there was, disconnected it after use and now have a very soggy region, oh well, the neighbours will just think I got a bit excited about my new toy. :'(
