How It Work
The APEC Spot-Free Car Wash System uses dual deionization (DI) filtration, which removes dissolved mineral ions like calcium, magnesium, iron, and others that cause water spotting. As water passes through the DI resin cartridges, impurities are pulled out at a molecular level, producing highly purified rinse water.
- Wash your vehicle as usual with soap and regular water.
- Rinse with spot-free DI water from the APEC system.
- Air Drying will leave a spotless and scaleless finish.
