Distilled water doesn't have any minerals in it, which means you don't have to dry your truck and you won't get waterspots.
Problem is if you need to find a place that sells distilled water or you need to distill it yourself. You then need a tank to carry the water to your house and a pump to pump the water for you to spray it.
I don't use distilled water. If I lived in a hot, dry climate where drying a vehicle before waterspots started was a problem, then I would consider it. Otherwise, drying your truck after you wash it is perfectly fine.

Hi F150
Thats a good question and would work.
Like Intel says...could be an expensive hassle.
Hey Dennis I see your aware of that RO water treatment. Did you ever see that ad sometime ago for a RO water filter attachment you hook up to hose?
It made for a streak free shine...car/windows etc. No toweling..wiping etc...price? As i recall it was under $40.00 but when i called the mfg....Question: How much water would it filter before plugging...forgot exact answer...but said it would probably last about 5 car washes.
Sure was a good idea..but thought to much $$ for no longer than it lasted. It wasnt around long.
I think our local DIY car washes here use RO water on one of the rinse cycles. It comes out real slow..eats up the minutes..but does a descent job on not leaving alot of water spots. Our climate is real dry here..Washing at home...man im tired after washing/drying my truck...water dries just that fast. So you have to be faster
Just tried Blue Coral Wash/Wax, not bad.
Good luck...OT
