Your garage looks great. Very clean.
That Spotless filter system....how well does it work?
It works fine. I only use it for final rinse or you would run through the filters fairly quickly. Best upgrade was getting the extension hose for the Master Blaster so I don't have to drag the unit around the car.
Note that the CR Spotless is just a tank with water softener resin inside. When it’s saturated, you have to replace it since it doesn’t have the mechanism to regenerate it like a normal water softener.
Alternatively, you can just get a water softener for your home if you don’t already have one, and hook it up to a hose bib somewhere for washing the car. BOOM, unlimited “spotless” water! (Not just for rinsing)
Very well. With a good protective finish + very thorough CR final rinse + pressure air (ex Master Blaster) = goodbye to towels and water spots.
how fast does water run through this system? Ive heard that it slows down the pressure and so the pressure fron the kränzle? I also have the kränzle but not yet the cr, im sure best result when rinsing is just A hose and the cr not using the kränzle, right?

First season last year. In my experience it slows down water flow. I also get an annoying spray out of the outlet connection, think I just need to tweak the fittings. I have a Kranzle as well. I was intending to use the Kranzle in hopes of using less water thereby saving resin. However may just use hose gun for final rinse and give that a shot.
It does work well though! Saves drying although it delays when I can go over the car with Carpro Reload if the water is left to air dry.
I tested water solids before buying to ensure they weren't high as this would eat resin and if really high reduce effectiveness of system.
I have a whole house salt based water softening system in my primary home, and a Master Blaster to dry with. It seems to work fine But I do some of my car washing, and all of my aircraft washing, at my Hanger. Lots of room to work inside, much better lighting, and a much nicer floor drain system. However, there the water is hard enough I think I could do an imitation of the Biblical ‘Walk On Water’ thing. So spot removal is indeed a Royal PITA. I have heard that RO (Reverse Osmosis), also works well. Has anybody tried one of those systems?
Yes, a bit off topic folks, but since we are discussing it here I thought I would ask.
Eztrader, here is a "perspective" photo from the car "work" area. So layout is - work area, semi-outdoor car lift, semi-outdoor wash area, parking area, lounge/mancave/bar. Behind the work area are parts storage, and "dirty area" compressor and oversized sink.
