Idea for a spot-free rinse

I was a big fan of the MR. Clean AutoDry Car Wash. Now that they no longer sell the filters, I've come up with a cheaper and better way to rinse without spots. Get a 1 gallon pump sprayer ($14.00), the kind that you can get at a hardware store for spraying weed killer. Then get a gallon of distilled water from the grocery store ($.95) then use your sprayer filled with the distilled water to rinse your bike down after the wash. The distilled water is void of impurities and minerals commonly found in tap water. It's these impurities that once dry, that causes spots. *** Very Important*** Never use a sprayer on your bike if it’s had anything in it other than water. Label it if you need too.
I then use my electric leaf blower to dry after the rinse.

Think I'll give that a try, especially since I have a distilling system in my house.
When I was in the car business these guys would come around in a pickup with a tank of what I think was ionzed water to wash down the cars on the lot. It worked pretty well.
