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 for washing airplanes and other vehicles, effectively eliminating the need for manual drying and significantly reducing labor.
  • Testing showed the DIC-20 model is easy to set up, portable on its cart, and leaves surfaces clean without wiping as water beads right off.
  • Key drawbacks include restrictions on water use at many airports, the 50-pound weight of the DIC-20 system, and its $449.99 price.

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.
