A water deionizer like CR Spotless is actually the primary item I recommend to clients after I've corrected their paint. Removing the drying stage from a maintenance wash is one of the best ways to avoid swirls, as most people swirl their car during drying. I've written a bit about how important 0 PPM water is on my FAQ (look near the bottom):

If I had it to do over again, not sure I would spend the $300. Half the time I end up drying the car off anyway because I need to drive somewhere and I don't want road dust getting picked up by the residual water on the car. If you have the time to let the car sit for a couple hours after you wash it then it may save you 15 to 20 minutes of drying time.
The car doesn't need to sit for several hours to dry if you're using 0 PPM water. If you let the car dry under the sun, 15 minutes of drying time should suffice.
