Using Jet Dry in rinse water

Does anyone use jet dry to distill their rinse water? If so what measurements do you use? I have a 100 gal water tank on my trailer.
 
Jet Dry does not distill water. Distilled water is the condensate from regular water that has been boiled.



Jet Dry is a sheeting agent that breaks the surface tension of water allowing it to sheet off instead of beading up on a surface. This is not to say that you couldn't use it in the manner you intend but any water that is allowed to dry on the car could leave a residue.



Wouldn't it be better to just uncap the hose and let the water run down? It will sheet on it's own without requiring the help of a sheeting agent.
 
Well I am concerned that I need to have non-spotting water for fleet detailing with my pressure washer since I can't dry every car. Distilled water would be too expensive. I have found some rinse addititives on the internet. I wan to be able to wash adnn rinse the car and that be all.
 
I see... well, I suppose if you're going to be using cleaner polishes/glazes before your LSP's, residue from a sheeting agent might not be too much of a concern since you would just be removing it when you glaze. Some LSP's like NXT, which has cleaners would probably take care of left over residue as well.



I hope someone on this forum can help you with a mix ratio for your additive.
