    I am using Griot's de-ionizing tank system to wash my rig. With a 14" truck washing brush head and super lightweight telescoping handle, I can wash the whole thing in about an hour. I use a telescoping water wand with adjustable spray head too. This lets me cascade water from above rather than shoot water up at the bus with a normal hose nozzle. No drying required. I spend another 30 minutes getting the really tough bugs off of the front and use a clay bar on the windshields with Griot's Speed Shine as a lubricant. 1.5 hours if no lolly-gagging and she looks amazing. With the de-ionozed water I can wash in direct sun and get NO spots. It is awesome. Replacement resin for the tank only cost $85. Resin life depends on how much water you use and how hard your water is to start with.

    Considering a visit from the mobile wash guy at the race track usually runs $100 and leaves me full of spots, my home system is awesome.

    This is the Griot's portable de-ionizer I use. It comes already loaded with resin. Just attach your hose and start washing.

    I have also been using CRSPOTLESS for a out 6 years now. Same deal you have to replace resin and it depends on the water how often. It takes me with one of my teenage boys an hour, with out about not quite 2. I connect to a pressure washer wich helps a lot as well.
