Looks good.
Fortunately we have soft water but do get a few spots if no dried off in time.
This would therefore as a final rinse be perfect, and should last a long time too.

Not so long ago I just had a single bucket and sponge....

Used my own version comprising of this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4-6ltr-E...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2648 with this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/5ltr-DI-...515247&hash=item41cfea254e:g:wGwAAOSwZKBZIglx And wow, washed car, rinsed off with open hose and left it, no drying with towels and lo and behold NO water marks, amazing which craft!

So, do you fill the vessel with the filter element and just connect a hose either side, had been thinking along these lines as we have a demin water plant at work, which uses sand filters and a resin bed system.

Yep, fill the vessel with resin, screw in the body and connect inlet and outlet hose and away you go

Yep, do the deal!

What I suggest is aim for 20 units at £100 inc a spare cartridge???

I’ll give ‘em a yell.

Yes. Hose in one side, out the other. And when it runs out, refill with resin. So simple even if I haven’t buggered it up yet.

I spoke to Raceglaze today and there are no deals to be had on this, which is a shame. It's why they only sell direct - there's not enough margin for suppliers to take a cut. Apparently they've been £99 for four years because £110 seems too high and would put people off. There's more margin in the refills.

On the basis that P&P is likely to go up imminently, if you want one then place your orders now. It's only a few quid and will probably go up by a fiver.

Flash used to sell a similar all in one wash and auto dry product around 8 to 10 years ago. The wash side was ok but nothing more. The water dry side was fantastic. You can still get hold of them on the intetnet at around £20 to £25 mark.

The resin filters last ages but take some tracking down.

Its a cheaper alternative for people considering a filter system.

I think it was sold as Mr clean in Europe and USA.

The wash side of the system was ok for a pre soak. The auto dry side worked well and you also have unfiltered rinse.

I really just used it to hose off unfilteres first and then hose off again through the filter.

Shame they seemed to stop selling them in the UK.
