A present for my Edge (and myself)

[Mattmilw]

I took delivery of my 2010 SEL in December. It killed me to drive it off the lot and into Wisconsin's winter weather, and having to deal with car washes to keep it clean. Now that the weather has turned, I can give it the love it deserves. I have a well and the water spots it leaves after washing are brutal. I recently purchased a water de-ionizer from Costco, and I have to say I am stunned at how well it works. It is made by CR Spotless, model DIC-20. The water mostly just rolls off the vehicle, and what doesn't evaporates without a trace. The windows look like they were just Windexed. It really makes short work out of washing your truck.

 

The unit isn't cheap and I had a hard time pulling the trigger on it. I gotta say though, every time I've used it, I've been amazed at the results and happy that I bought it.

I own a Mobile Detailing Company and I use de-ionized water as well...I have 2 4ft (1 Canion and 1 Anion) tanks in my garage and use my irrigation (well) water to run through it. My well water has much less TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) than the city water. Jacksonville is somewhere around number 5 for the worst water in America. I will never dry another car and you're right, you can wash your Edge in 15mins because you don't have to dry. No smears, scratches or streaks!
