Just bought a house and the water here, while being city water, is extremley bad. It spots the car and even if dried quickly seems to leave almost an etching in the glass. I assume its hard water, but the chlorine is overwhelming as well, it really smells bad. I had to put a filter on the shower it was so bad.
What do I need to invest in as far as a whole house system?

01GTB,
Here is what I do. I wash the car with Rain-X Self Dry. Just about all of the water runs off the car if you follow the directions. I pick up the rest of the water with The Absorber (got it at Wal Mart). I handles and works better than a chamois, and it comes with a storage container. I use small terry cloth towels to soak up the water that collects under the hood, around the grill, hood scoop, rockers, inside the filler door, and in the recesses under the trunk lid. I touch up with Eagle One Wet for the one or two inevitable drips that appear later. I use Eagle One or Meguiar's to clean the wheels, and Eagle One tire gel to wet the tires.
Cheaper than a water softener.
