even in hot weather states like cali, hardcore guys STILL add water wetter to their distilled water for corrosion resistance..... you think distilled water is good for storing cars in the nj winter? lol

to all of you. i do not run my car in the winter and im sorry if i was not clear enough. i have a heated garage. im not some fool who leaves a car sit outside for a hole winter. my garage is 68 degrees all year round.

i run straight distilled water and 1 bottle water wetter. i have done this for over 4 years. never had one issue. running straight undistilled water is not good at all. you need to use distilled water.
