Wouldn't use filtered water to clean cars.
It will remove any protective wax and might damage some of
the water based paint that's now used on new cars and vans.

That's why I never drive in the rain.
It burns your eyes
Dissolves your skin
Rots your van
Sterilizes your windows
Eats algae
Strips your innards if you drink it
Burns through your t shirt

Just some of the crap I've read on here.

My original question was asking if there is a brush 'specifically' for car cleaning, but none of the ones suggested are being sold as a car cleaning brush so there is a chance that they would indeed scratch a cars paint work.

I have found pure water makes holes in cotton t-shirts and destroys scrims if you wash them in it regularly. It also dries your hands more than ordinary water as it absorbs the oils from your skin more.

For all the muppets who still think water passed through  D I resin is the same as
rain why don't you take a drink of it.
Cleaning your car with filtered water will remove the wax leaving the paint open to
damage from the sun and bird muck.

Ion exchange resin is non toxic.

DI water, if drunk, will soon mix with god knows what in the stomach and become very impure very quickly.

On each packet of resin there are NO health warning are there? If DI water was that toxic to drink, don't you think that all the WFP companies would mention that?
Just chant..... Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. It's beats chanting Tory Tory or Labour Labour.

Di resin is carcinogenic so prob no short term risk but long term , who knows .

 Ro Water is fine to drink.
 A lot of car washes use pure water to rinse , it wont harm your paintwork wether its water based or not .
The brushes can scratch your car if they pick up bits of dirt but then again so csn sponges .

I was advised by a supplier of water purification equipment that it was OK to use pure water as a final rinse process but not to use it to actually wash the car as it does tend to strip the wax.

After you have washed car with solution that normally leaves behind some sort of protective barrier then rinsing of the suds is OK.
