SkyNext: CR Spotless Makes Plane Washing Easier

The CR Spotless DIC-20 High Output Rolling System eliminates water spots that otherwise appear if you don’t wipe your airplane dry after washing. CR Spotless

Key Takeaways:

  • The CR Spotless system deionizes water, eliminating water spots and the need for manual drying after washing airplanes and other vehicles.
  • The tested DIC-20 model is easy to assemble, rolls easily, and effectively leaves surfaces, like windshields, clean without wiping.
  • Drawbacks include its 50-pound weight, potential restrictions on water usage at some airports, and a price of $449.99 for the DIC-20 unit.

Washing an airplane, particularly a larger one such as a turboprop or jet, is a time-consuming endeavor that can require a lot of elbow grease. CR Spotless aims to reduce some of that labor by ionizing the water sprayed onto the airplane, eliminating the need for wiping the surfaces dry. The system connects quickly to a standard water spigot. The water flows into the system and through two 20-inch deionizing housings before exiting on the other end through a standard hose. There is also a small meter on the front that shows the water purity. Three zeros mean all is well. If numbers are showing, it is time to change the cartridges.
