Any one here using de-ionized water for washing?

ROFL! Enjoy all that micro marring!

Explain...... How is using the optimum product different than a normal wash, minus the final rinse?

Without soap and water the chance of micro scratches are high. Dust is abrasive and dry washing will almost always leave these clear coat spider webs. Using a duster on a garaged car is fairly safe but after you hit the road the dust can "lock in". Black shows spider webs the most but you white and silver guys have them but they are hidden. Two bucket washing, doing the wheels first are just a start to keep scratches and water spots at a minimum. Washing in the bright sun is a bad idea. Try to wait till dusk or dawn.

Do you know what optimum no rinse is? You definitely use soap and water, it's not bucketless.

Well for one, a normal wash to me is pre soaking the paint two times then using a pressure sprayer to remove nearly 95% of the gunk attached to the car.
