We all know washing the RV is a pain. Have any of you used either a portable water softener or deionizer for the final rinse to eliminate the need to dry the thing after the wash? Does it really work to prevent the spots? Which of the two (deionizer or water softener) works best? What brand do you recommend?
Ah the old "spot free rinse". I know it well, I managed multiple large car washes for a single owner back in my collage years and did all repairs.
Anywho. You can have the 100% mineral free (distilled) water and still have spots. Why? Because you are not in a controlled atmosphere. The air is dirty! Dusty! And water droplets are magnets for dirt in the air. When they dry, its the same as having hard water. Sometimes worse, sometimes not too bad.
Short story, it makes no difference if you wash and rinse with hard water. What matters is you blow dry and/or towel dry. Use a leaf blower to help blow out the in between areas water gets trapped in and wipe dry again to eliminate run marks.
