Neutralizing Water

[imported_richy]

The only thing I can think of to recommend to you would be to buy distilled water in as big quantity as you can to make it cheaper. I would then use that water and do an ONR wash. Another alternative is to put 1/3 to 1/2 of vinegar in a spray bottle and spray the water after you rinse before drying. This will neutralize the deposits in the water and help get rid of your water spots.

.. water spots and make the water safer on paint. Is this even necessary, and if it is how can I do it? Thanks

Understand you can soften water / reduce minerals by adding vinegar. A quick google for "Soften Water Vinegar" seems to recommend a ratio of about 1/2 cup to a wash-load which might be 15-20 gallons.

Something to try, at your own risk.

I once heard using Baking Soda does the job really well. But Im not 100% sure if thats accurate or how much to use.

Vinegar is good but it will probably take the wax off .

Wouldn`t vinegar make the water more acidic as well

Corey, take a whiff of some water spot reminded...they smell like vinegar. It`s the minerals in the water that get left behind, if I remember correctly. The acetic acid neutralizes them.
