Does anyone actually use this product... Im so lazy im thinking about using it but im worried it'll damage my paint or take off my wax quicker... Anyone use it?

 

i use it all the time... its great... u'll like it!!!

 

I used to use one all the time. I do think, and have also read, the soap is kind of harsh. After a few weeks after waxing my car, I noticed my car didn't have the depth anymore and the minor swirl marks were very noticable. And water didn't bead up anymore and run off, like it should on a waxed surface. So I stopped using it.

It does work really well. If I wasn't a freak about it, I would use it all the time still.

 

So theres no way of using your own soap? Gotta use theirs? cuz I like meguiar's gold class...

 

I thought about that, but never tried it. Since the filter rinse part is the biggest part of the spotless drying, I think it might work. That works because the water is filtered (duh) and doesn't have the sediments and crap that stay behind when unfiltered water spots dry. So I don't think it has much do to with their soap, but can't say for sure.

I've also heard of people hooking up a filter to their regular water hose to get the same results, but I've never tried that.

 

Use it all the time.

I still towel dry most of the car, but I don't feel like I have to be in a huge rush because there are a lot less water spots when using Mr. Clean.

It's good if you're in a hurry, or for a quick rinse between rain storms. It's not for die hard detailers.

-THE DON

 

Or if ur really lazy like me?

Anywayz ima buy one at walmart... They r about $21 and ima try using meguiar's gold class soap... Hope it works >.<

 

i actually have one too. i used it twice but left watermarks.. grr. i think it's because i used it in direct sunlight though. whoops. let us know if it works with other soaps

 

The soap is key.

If you plan on using other soaps, just buy one of those hose attatchments that can be filled with soap. ($5 bucks)

I almost never replace the filter on my Mr. Clean. The soap is what really gives the "autodry" effect.

-THE DON

 

I wonder if they've improved them, I got mine not long after they came out. I had to replace mine quite a bit. Noticed a huge difference in the spotless drying when the filter started going bad.

Something else I'll add, for those interested in the Autodry. Don't get the soap (right out of the bottle) get on anything. That stuff gets crazy sticky. One of mine leaked and it was a pain to clean, especially for being soap lol.

 

I think I'll use the mr clean soap this first time so I know what its suppose 2 look like when u follow directions lol.. Next time I try the meguiars. Unless someone wants 2 do it now?!

 

I use it every week or two. Works great.

 

I'd imagine a water filter even with regular car washing would help with water spots. I'm sure one could rig one of those drinking filters or something to a garden hose with the right adapters.

 

Wow this thing rocks... Granted I did use the starter soap this time it was pretty gud... I still did wipe my car but i wasnt in such a rush as I usually am and I wasnt so picky about it... But great system!

 

i got that stuff free.......... and have never used it... its up in my closet.

 

Seems to work real well if the weather is warm.

 

I've tried it a few times and thought it sucked. It didnt rinse the car that well and left residue. I only liked it for the spot free rinse but seemed a bit expensive to use it for just that feature.

 

with that whole paitn protection crap...... are they suppose to fix the paint if it gets messed up or what?? I have a spot that has rust on it next to the back pasanger door.

 

I;m about to buy one. Theres a Mr Clean Car Wash near me in front of a huge P&G building.

Iv heard good things about the car wash so I figure I'd try it at my house.

 

You can actually use any soap with it. It's the water filter that does the quick dry.
