WATER STAINING

[1BADRAMLIMITED]

what is everyone using to help hard water or staining? I am not looking to spend $1000+. I typically try to wait until the sun goes down to wash my truck but wonder what affordable budget options you have tried to combat the hard water rinse.

I guess what I am asking is what water filters or rinse aid you all are using to keep water staining from occurring. i do not have any water stains on the truck right now because i get the water off fast enough when washing my truck.

hope this makes sense.

For my vehicles I rinse with deionized water from and use an Adam’s Air Cannon to blow the water off. These weren’t cheap though, but are very effective for the hard water I have at home.

The cheapest option I found is to install RV water filters on your hose. They last about 6 months but cost about $30 on Amazon for two. You still need to dry your truck after washing, but the water spots just wipe away.

I tried cheaper options before going with the deionizer, including RV filters. None of them came close to being as effective. But we have very hard water where I live. I might have spent almost as much experimenting with filters as I spent on the deionizer. Buy once cry once would have been good advice for me lol.
