    Re: Best wash soap for harder water?

    That is 1.7x the price of ONR up here Stupid Amazon rip off prices here...

    I'm going to have to watch for sale on ONR (doubtful, lol) or even stock of it from autoobsessed or anywhere else up here :/

    As an alternative, you could get a 3 gal. pump-up sprayer, fill it with distilled water, and use that as a final rinse after your regular rinse with your hard water.

    I like this method but to step up a notch mix with a rinseless wash (onr) and spray car. Tried mixing a rinseless with a regular soap and not a fan.

    If water spots are an issue i would say the premium for mckees sio2 soap would be worth it.

    This one right here has water softeners in it and should be around 25.99/gal in canada. Excellent dilution ratio as well 1 oz to 5 gal!

    My hard water experience:
    1)Adams Car Shampoo (the standard blue color one)
    Also did well: Geyon Bathe and GTechniq G-Wash

    When I do rinsless, ONR is superior in that product category.

    I have hard water as well and like Coatings says, I use a SIO2 soap. I just used the metro blaster for the first time to blow most of the water off and the final dry with a towel. Result was no hard water spots!

    Been looking into a garden hose filtration system, but not bought one yet and probably won't till the the summer or later...

    Thanks for the help!
    Happy New Year everyone!
    Autogeek and autopia are clearing out Mckee’s. Would be a great time to pick up a gallon or two of the Mckee’s sio2 soap with water softeners for $25 or less....
