parthiban Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 Been busy indeed! Still love the blue on the Skoda and the paint on the 370 looks epic in the sun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 You've done a good job What's your technique when washing in the sun to avoid the water drying on? I mainly used ONR until I moved to the house so didn't have this problem but now I use the pressure washer and the shampoo has dried before I've finished rinsing it off.

liner33 Posted May 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 I use filtered water through a DI Resin vessel , can just leave it to dry in the sun if you like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liner33 Posted May 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 The Superb being black would be covered in spots before you could dry it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 That's the problem I have with the Accord! I've used Time to Dry in the past which works well but it was for this reason I switched to ONR so I don't have to QD the car afterwards. Maybe I should just use the hose/pressure washer to get the dirt off if it's bad and go back to ONR so I can dry as I wash. How does your filtered water work, what's the setup?

liner33 Posted May 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 http://www.daqua.co.uk/divessels.htm I have one of these , the blue one , and its connected in between the tap and the pressure washer , i use it all the time and need to change the resin once a year , others use it just for rinsing Also use the water for the iron and it only needs descaling once a year , our water is very hard here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 That looks good and not as expensive as I thought it would be. What's the difference between the blue one and the black one underneath? Would the cheaper one be ok for using with a pressure washer? Can you drink the water filtered with this? We have a water jug that we use for cold drinks and the kettle but it doesn't get rid of all the limescale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parthiban Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 That looks pretty good - if it lasts a year for you it'll probably last 5 for me! Does it have a shelf life or is it ok to sit if used infrequently? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The black cheaper one is unfilled so you need to buy resin on top , £70 a bag which does three fills I wouldnt want to drink it , if its left in the cylinder it smells fishy when first used so you need to run a fair bit of water through to clear that smell , but its still ok to wash the car with it Dont think it has a shelf life as i dont use it much over winter , but we are back to the fishy smell for a minute or two when first using it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 Sounds good if it doesn't have a shelf life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 The Skoda has great colour but the 370 looks lush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
