I can find it at Sam's for $0.60 per gallon. Before I had my shop, I could do a full was in my garage (no drain) with two gallons.

Give it a try.

Hey Jim, I tried that back when you did. It never really worked out for me. Today I washed the car again (and just DACP'd the horizontal surfaces which took all the spots out perfectly, now to get some Blackfire on there...) and tried to rinse the soap off with the garden sprayer. I think that's how you used to do it? I couldn't get the water to move all the soap off though...

I went back to rinsing the car with the hose, but did do a final rinse with the leftover distilled water. So far it seems to have worked better than I remembered. I think I'll try 2-3 gallons of water next time just to be sure I get all the crappy water off.

Still, I don't think I'll bother trying to rinse the car again. That little sprayer wouldn't remove much salt.
