distilled water
Any advantage for using distilled water to wash the car to avoid water spots.Also what is the difference between distilled and dionized water?

Water Filtration:
[: (a) Deionizer (DI) water – is water that lacks common Cat ions (Ones with positive charges, i.e. Na+ , Ca+, CU++ , Fe++ ) and Anions (ones with negative charges i.e. Cl-, Br-), so you are left with OH- and H30+ (effectively H20 and H+) this is achieved by passing the water through an Ion exchange resin]
This is usually an organic polymer with a surface that simultaneously traps one type of ion, while releasing another, hence the name ion exchange; de-ionized water can still contain bacteria, endotoxins and organic compounds.
To provide spot-free vehicle washing and to remove hard water minerals, raw water is passed through a pre-cleaner and then through a cartridge that contains mixed bed resins, a Cation (sacrificial anode) and anion resins, the process is that through an exchange of mineral ions for sodium ions, mineral ions are attached to the resins. Once the resins are depleted, which can be checked with a total dissolved solids (TDS) meter, periodically they require replacing.
One of the advantages of DI water system is mineral free water and little to no wasted water –CR Spotless
Distilled water - is water that has virtually all of its impurities removed through distillation. Distillation involves boiling the water and then condensing the steam into a clean container, leaving most if not all solid contaminants behind.Distillation removes both ionic and non-ionic organic contaminants.
