Hi guys, I have Three Questions :)

[PhantomMagician]

1. Can i store Super Degreaser, APC+, ect in ordinary plastic bottle ? or it have to be some chemical proof plastic bottle ?

2. What is the different between drinking water with distilled water ? Because as far as i know, it's best to use distilled water to mix with APC,ect... is drinking water not clean enough ?

3. When will Meguiars release videos for 2012 product ? can't wait... really exciting about it

Thanks for the answer

#1 - any plastic bottle will be fine to my knowledge.
#2 - isn't distilled water just more pure or something? I wouldn't think it would make a huge difference. Maybe distilled water wouldn't cause spotting if it dried?

Distilled water is much cleaner than "normal" water. The basic idea is to boil normal water and re-condense the steam. Then all of the impurities such as minerals etc are left behind.
I have found, as long as your water is not extremely dirty, that using distilled water with something like APC doesn't really make a difference. If you get a concentrated glass cleaner, then I would highly recommend using distilled water as the minerals can make it hard to get spotless glass.

#1 - I haven't had any problems storing Super Degreaser or APC+ in plastic bottles.

#2 - Distilled water is pure water WITHOUT any dissolved minerals or additives like fluoride, etc. - Distilled will have the least chance of spotting. Drinking water is relatively pure but may have dissolved minerals that could cause spotting.

I use tap water when diluting APC+ and occasionally have some spotting (probably from water rinse)

distilled water has no impurities. people may not know that distilled water doesn't boil even at 212 degrees. the impurities in tap water is what wakes it boil. so, distilled water is "cleaner" than tap water, but for the weekend warrior, like most of us probably are, using tap/hose water should be just fine

Physics must be different now, it used to be that water, even distilled water reached its boiling point at 212 degrees F (100 degrees C (new math )

Re: Hi guys, I have Three Questions

that's what i was told. it wont boil until some sort of impurity is added to it, like chlorine or salt or anything i guess. i will admit that i have never tried it though...

Re: Hi guys, I have Three Questions

'Pure' water>boils at 212*F (100*C) @ 'normal' atmospheric pressure (29.92 inches Hg). Specific gravity=1.00000

When any 'nasties' are introduced, the boiling temp will change with a change in specific gravity. The change is USUALLY tiny, but even then the boiling point is considered 212*F (in most applications).

Re: Hi guys, I have Three Questions

Regarding distilled water...
Yes, the metal ions in water and other additives cause the water to boil at a lower temperature. This is due to the ions disassociating in the water. Take salt for example (NaCl). It disassociates into Na + Cl, both of which are surrounded by H2O (water)
Water boils easier as it's surface tension is lessened, due to the aforementioned process. Boiling occurs when any liquid exerts a pressure equal to the atmospheric pressure exerted on that liquid. A liquid boils when it gives off 1 atm, or 760mmHg/Torr.
Whenever ions dissociate in water, it lowers the boiling temperature, and tap water is filled with various ions.
