They don't work. Spend your money elsewhere.

Don't' tell him is doesn't work. IF people are naive enough to believe the infomercials, let them buy the crap.

It was a simple question. It deserves a simple answer.

But the official mechanic said it would double my mileage its guaranteed!
He looked offical and when was the last time the TV lied to us?
And remember how amazed everyone looked in the commercial?
It must be the miracle of the modern age! Right?

You'd be better off getting a K&N air filter. They're about the same price and you can go to any race track and ask if they work.

The Mr. Clean auto dry does work. The best way is to wash your car in the shade, if you wash it in direct sunlight the soap may leave a light film on your ride. I have used my Auto dry several times and though trial and error I think it works best in the shade.

I tried that and found that it works really well! Question though, did you find the soap not to be really sudsy? Did you find that the trial size soap, that came with the kit, ran out after the first wash? What's the deal?

Regardless, I recommend it!
