Thumbs up

Tried it, works great. ..virtually no water spots and our water is hard enough to leave a haze even if you do a good job of towel drying the car. It makes washing a very quick job.

I've been using it for about 3 months now and it works great. However each of the filter cartridges only lasts about 3-4 washes.

How much does a filter cartridge cost?

Less than $10 for two is what I was able to find them for.

Holy crap. I'm getting one too. Very cool. If it works 1/2 as good as you guys say, then it will do just fine for the quick washes I do when I know it will probably get dirty again soon anyway.

When I do serious washes, then it should be that much better even when I do go ahead and dry it.

I used it twice. Worked pretty well, but I found some drying was still nessessary. The thing leaks soap out of the side if you leave it sit for a while. My best results were when I sprayed the soap on, then used a wash mit. I still think the squeegie works best. FYI all you California Water Blade lovers, That thing sucks!!!
This is the squeegie to use. I have had the same one for ELEVEN Years! hows that for durability! And it has a handle!

I found it online for 10 bucks too!

Is it just a filter to clean the water of minerals when you rinse the car or are there some chemicals mixed with the water when you spray it on with some sort of drying agent??? If so I wonder if it affects wax/polish....
