Car washing

Apparently there's some awesome new washing solutions that have iodized
water that not only prevents spotting but makes water bead off like on
windshields. It's not very expensive either. Might wanna check out a local
shop.

Hello:
I don't know where you are, but I've seen here in the US a gun that is
hooked up to the water hose; that gun has something in it that will remove
the minerals and all the stuff that is in the water.

I saw the commercial some years ago; however, I don't know if they still
make or sell that gun.

In the meantime, I would recommend to buy one of those 'shammy' cloths;
the more expensive, the better for spot-free car washing.
