Simple solution: Optimum No Rinse
#12
+1.
The whole reason I tried ONR was due to water spots. With ONR, you wash one panel (or even a section of a panel) at a time and dry. No spots. No dribbles. You can wash inside the garage to avoid the sun, too. With kids it's great too, as inevitably I get interrupted at some point and I can just dry off the section I'm working on and come back and finish the rest later.

I bought a spot free water rinse machine from Costco. I use it for my final rinse and I have not had an issue with spots since. It was a little expensive and have only used it a few times but I love it. I am no detail expert by any means so I may have wasted $400 in some peoples mind but, it saves me a ton of time.

+2. I don't use this product for water savings. I use it because it is a time saver, no water spots, can do inside of garage in winter, adds some gloss and is cheaper than most car wash shampoo's and same as the base standard (about $0.50 for 3 gallons of wash):
Meguiar Gold Class Shampoo - $10 1/2 gallon, 1 oz/gallon dilution
ONR - $40 1 gallon, 1 oz/2 gallon dilution

I bought a truck. And I bought a white one. Water spots? I wash her down in the quarter car wash and drive home on the freeway at 80 mph. This ain't no red Ferrari!

I've never heard of the ONR and in doing some research there are a LOT of good reviews....but there is NO WAY Im washing my dirty car/truck with something like that.
It just goes against everything I've ever been taught about washing/detailing.
