Any one here using de-ionized water for washing?

I wouldn't trust quick detailer or waterless car wash to remove anything more than a little dust or a few water spots from accidentally driving through your neighbor's sprinkler. If you actually drive your car instead of leaving it in the garage when it's less than guaranteed spectacular weather, you're going to have to wash the car.

That said, I think the Optimum stuff is worth looking into for generally keeping the car looking good, and I could actually use it instead of the CR system when the car is actually dirty, by spraying the wheelwells and such out with a hose, then following up by cleaning each panel with Optimum.

I think I'm going to buy some. I'd rather not have to deal with the CR system if that works just as well.
