So you are not supposed to wash in the sun...

The speed of drying and increased risk of spotting are the only problems I've ever seen with washing in the sun. If your water is hard you can rinse in a gentle straight stream which will sheet the water off. I use ONR for washing and other personal discomfort the sun doesn't affect things for me.

I can wash my truck if I start at about 9am on Saturdays. Sometimes I don't get started until 10am and then the back end is already getting sun. I try to wash it and then rinse it right off and keep it wet. The Guzzler works well, add a spritz of QD to it and you're good to go. No issues yet!

What is this inline water filter all about?
I have hard well water here, that is the root of my detailing problems here.

well - I found some other threads here and read some.
my real question would now be:

This water softener filter setup looks like a mini version of a whole house water softener which I already have. I don't use the water from it to wash my cars, 'cause I'm afraid of salt entering areas that cannot be dried properly after washing, thus inducing rust after a few years. So I basically just get my water straight from my well pump, which I know is dirty and hard, with tons of calcium and tannin and such.

The softened water should have some salt in it as a final product. Is this a concern with this smaller setup that AG sells????

I have an extra filter canister setup laying around here, I guess I can buy the filter(s) here, and some rejuvenating products for it if this is a better solution.

Read up on Poorboy's World products. They work great in the sun. Get some Poorboy's World Spray & Wipe for water spots. Consider washing with DP 4-in-1 or ONR. That would make it a rinseless wash.
