mr. clean auto dry
well i use it alot just cause I like the way the soap smells
. But for me it doesnt dry like it says its supposed to. Maybe cause the water is really hard here but I still need to shami it when done or the car will be full of spots.
i have it and only used it on my lancer it worked sometimes but for the hard to get off dirt you need to use a little bit of elbow grease and scrub it, i have not yet tried it on the scion maybe soon.

yeah which defeats the purpose of loose the bucket. i read a couple of reveiws. its all a matter of oppinon. i think its still easier to hand wash the car and make sure i get everything off.
don't bother. just wash your car properly and try to not dry it in the sun.
to dry it spot free, use a waffleweave microfiber towel. drag it over the surface by the corners, don't be too concerned if it doesn't pick up all the water in one pass, thats not the point. what you want it to do is pick up a good amount of water with each pass. be sure to wring it out occassionally.
now, use a normal weave large microfiber towel, i like to use two of them, one for each side. mine are about 36" x 24". wipe down the car with that.
if you did it quick enough and not in direct sunlight, you should have a spot free finish. if you have spots, usually detailing spray like meg's nxt spray will get rid of them. i like to use klasse all in one.
the only trouble spots are areas that trap water:
the door handles
mirrors
grille
where the hood meets the bumper
headlights and tail lights
gas door
where the trunk meets the bumper
license plate area
sometimes water will leak out of those even a few hours after you wash your car, whatever

I have it, use it all the time, use it on both my wifes Flint Mica tC and my BCP xB, no water spots on either, and both these cars show water spots!!! remember you still need to scrub the soap, if you don't do that it won't clean your car, its not a high pressure system.... and yes change the filter frequently....to me its worth the money... I recomend it to everyone.
the mr clean auto dry is great. u just need to wash ur car in sections at a time. there is no need for a bucket. just rinse ur car really well and then soap it up often wif a clean sponge. it probably doesn't take any less time to "auto dry" than to dry wif a chammy. but it does look nice when it dries.

I tried it once but it left a funky residue on the paint that needed to be cleaned off. JUST SAY NO and use regular carwash soap. Never wash in the sun light and rinse as you work your way down the car. Use ONLY microfiber towels for drying duty. Scion Paint is WAY TOO SOFT for anything else.
