What are the advantages of using distilled water for cutting products?

Agreed. Distilled water is pure H2O, nothing more. It's also what they use in pharmaceuticals and infant formulas. :)

Distilled water gives the full potential of the product since there's nothing but pure water! It's really cheap at Wal Mart :D
This is a very interesting topic, I too have been reading lots on distilled water and the advantages of using distilled water. I wonder....I wonder how a vehicle would look being washed with distilled water..mmmm....good thing the jugs are fairly cheap because I'm going to give this a try.

Distilled water will still have a small amount of contaminants in it. If you filter distilled water, you can get even purer water. i work in biotech, so i have access to incredible pure water, not that i'm braging or anything.wink wink.
Anytime i have to make dilutions for car maintenance, i use pure milli-q water, or water that has a resistance of about 18.2 megaohms per cm. DP4in1 is usually the one that gets diluted the most, but honestly, i have used water from my brita and it's ok. The brita seems to actually add some "taste" ions into the water, but it's a hell of a lot better than santa cruz nasty ass h2o.

I would think that it will dry spotless! :D I really wish I can have deionized water to wash my car.
