Would Reverse Osmosis water be ok to wash a car with?

My opinion... One is as good as the other. Whether RO, Distilled, or DI, the end product is very similar... water with reduced and/or eliminated dissolved solid content. They are not exactly the same in a laboratory sense, but for the purpose of washing a car and minimizing or eliminating water spots anyone of them will work.

How does RO water diminish the effectiveness of other products?

RO water has simply had the dissolved solids removed, similar to, but not as completely as distilled or deionized. Whereas distilled or deionized water will have essentially all dissolved solids removed, RO water is in the 90% - 95% range for dissolved solids removal.

Exactly!

If I had a choice, I'd pick deionized water without hesitation.
