Evian Water for final rinse

Distilled water would be better than Evian but I guess thats why quick detailer sprays were invented.

I also have Wet and dry suck and blow vacuum that I was cleaning the car with one day. After washing it , for shits and giggles I put the vacuum on blow, and guess what - it only worked.... My zed had a blow dry....
I occasionally use a leaf blower to dry the Zed, the cable is a pain in the arse and I've considered a petrol one just for the job. Always use a Karcher window vac on the glass. Intrigued by the dehumidifier water though, is this really effective ?

As the post by ph001 above its just distilled water as a by product of dehumidification

We're in a fairly hard water area - 272.5 - but have a Harvey's water softener which reduces the mineral content appreciably. We have two outside taps, one direct from the mains and one for softened water which I use for car washing.

If you leave the softened water to air dry, which I tend to do with the X3 as it lives outside and is Cindy's DD, the softened water doesn't give a perfectly spot-free finish but any faint spots that are left are easily removed by a quick wipe-over with a QD.

Yep, not saying Evian is the best thing for this, but it's 100% better than the tap where I am. I've been thinking of getting a resin bottle as that is probably the best thing to get, but if I can get some 100% distilled water cheaply then this will do the trick nicely!

People who don't detail, will be reading this thread and going WTF...!
