I've heard that it can cause a nuclear reaction and ignite the atmosphere.

Seriously - it works well on new cars with good paintwork but it will remove the polish off old cars and leave them looking rather matt - especially red ones!!
Some car washes have a pure-water rinse option and I believe in America most forecourt cars are washed regularly with pure water to keep them looking good ready for sale.
This time of year with the roads dry it works quite well and is quick but it's a different story in the winter when you have tons of mud to rinse off - far too much pure water required to make it viable - plus you leave all the mud on the floor. Been there!!

Generally takes 2 to 3 days, depending on atmospheric conditions for the deterioration of the paintwork to become noticeable.
In warmer drier conditions, such as now, the process takes a little longer. You'll first notice it on those cars where oxidation has previously occured. Any further ingress allows the water to further cause paintwork deterioration.
Once the water has been in contact with the paintwork surface usually only a thorough application of a paintwork restorer will be sufficient to stop any further damage, this is usually achieved by using a paint restoration product such as T-Cut.
Good luck.

I cleaned my car and family cars lots of time over the years and have not has any problem whatsoever at all.
I think people are going over the top with this pure waters so i will carry on with it because I can't see any problem with it after it been cleaned even with the red car
-
I've clean my own car and van with wfp and had no probs. However I don't think I would be so daring to try it on someone elses car because if paint came off etc I'm sure there would be some serious issues to be sorted out with you and the owner of the cars.

Poo, I was hoping to convince you to go out and T-Cut them all ;)

Wfp doesn't damage paintwork on cars, however it will when used with a brush take wax off of the paintwork. This is usually not a problem as you will put wax back on after cleaning I your doing the job properly. However some old cars have sun bleached paint work and red is a good example, to restore their paintwork some people use a Color wax, however the problem is when we come along and scrub off that color wax they think we have damaged their car when in actual fact all we have done is removed the color wax.

I just found this thread on search so I feel got nothing to worry about....
People who say it a bad idea or a big mistake have you even try it .........or you just listen to what people tell you

id stick to windows if i were you.pure water is more aggressive esp on certain types of paintwork and i dont think its really great for painted wooden windows either!
google dionised water and read what it says!you could easly damage someones car with a wfp and what about the wheels?do you use the same brush to then clean your windows?
i clean my van with wfp but use tap water instead of pure water and use a different brush!!
im using a bucket and sponge though at the moment due to hosepipe ban! ;D ;D ;D

Nah high end dealers use pure water to keep cars clean.......I never use the wfp on wheels only sponge
I have two brush one for car and one for windows.
Shame people are going over the top with this pure waters for cars because it give bad rep to people like me when it does a good job
-
a few of my custys have joked about me cleaning their cars with my wfp but im a window cleaner with a full round and conny roofs/fascias etc to clean so i dont take them up on the offer.
ok if you ve not got much of a round and want a bit of extra money!but dont be fooled matey!pure water DOES affect certain types of paint work and WILL dull the shine on some cars over time.
best wishes

Nicely put Simon - David - this is what I was trying say previously but Simon has put it much better. I'm talking from experience - loads of cars come up great but there are some that don't (red in particular) and this could cause you problems with the customer.
When used in car washes it's only used as a final rinse to ensure a shiny finish with no deposits - it isn't brushed.
