Why two in series? Our water here is around 420ppm from the tap and 0ppm from the Raceglaze thingy.I use 2 acquagleam filters in series on the tap and then attach my hosepipe to the “out” end of the 0ppm one. The water in Kent is very hard and I use them for the final rinse. I do towel my car off afterwards, but not that carefully! Have never had a water mark. View attachment 87223
Luckily we get Strathmore Spring water from the tap where I am No need for any of that.
I was told that if the water is really hard, the 0ppm one wears out/stops working very quickly, so using the 30ppm means that it takes out most of the calcium before it gets to the 0ppm.Why two in series? Our water here is around 420ppm from the tap and 0ppm from the Raceglaze thingy.
As others have said, ceramic will not stop water marks from hard water and won't make them any easier to remove, either.
With ceramic coating you sheet off the water by running the hose over the car which leaves minimal drops that can be dabbed off using an absorbent cloth. No polishing or wiping necessary.Does that eliminate water spots whatever the conditions outside?
That makes sense. I have a 15 litre Raceglaze thingy and it lasts for about a year before the hardness creeps over the 30ppm mark where I need to replace the resin. Apparently water spots form after 50.I was told that if the water is really hard, the 0ppm one wears out/stops working very quickly, so using the 30ppm means that it takes out most of the calcium before it gets to the 0ppm.
So, when you use the water to rinse off obviously you have 15 litres of treated water. When that’s used does it flow continuously with treated water or does it require time to catch up?That makes sense.

The Cat said it better than I would have done.
He normally does

Hi Guys,
I am thinking of either buying a Race Glaze filter or the one from Full Clean Centre. Probably prefer the Race Glaze but they only do a 7litre container which is treasonably priced (their 14litre is much more expensive). Full Clean do an 11litre container which would seem more useful. Is the 7litre one sufficient to wash off a GT?
Spring waters vary a lot from location to location. Some is pH neutral and relatively low mineral (Total Dissolved Solids). e.g. In the US for water to be described as "mineral" it has to have 250mg/l TDSI'm going to ask a(nother) stupid question because ICBATG but isn't the phrase 'mineral water' somewhat applicable?
My QP had ceramic and I used to sheet the water off with the hose. Any beads left over were just dabbed dry with a micro fibre. No need to have one of these. Better to have a decent ceramic.Hi Guys,
