Try This On Your New Car, It Works!!

I have a black 997S and saw the Mr Clean Auto Dry Car Wash System advertised in a Magazine. I was skeptical at first, but at $20, I thought I would take a chance. Anything is worth trying for a black car! It comes with soap, water filter, and hose attachment. The soap and filter are put in to the attachment and you are ready to wash your car. The filter captures all the minerals in the water that cause spotting, so when you are done washing, there is no need to hand dry. The water evaporates leaving your car looking immaculate, this includes windows. This system should also help reduce swirling since you are reducing contact by 50%. This is the only method of washing I have used since I bought the car new and I have not noticed any swirls in the paint. I have used it 3 times. Make sure you follow the directions !!

Car dealers have been doing this for years- spotless/wipeless washing and drying . Ever notice that guy and his van at 7 am going daily to every dealers' lots spraying down all the cars ? Haven't you ever wondered how all these cars have hardly any dust on them , despite being parked cheek by jowl and sitting unmoved for weeks ?

I've read a lot about this, but my only question is, is that when you use a towel to dry the car, usually more dirt comes off...so with this system, is the wash that good it gets that extra dirt??

when it dries, the paint feels smoothe and is very shiny. All the dirt should come off during washing when using a mit. If there is dirt on the car when you towel dry you will scratch the paint and create swirling

I just tried it and I think it is crap. It didnt work and was a ***** to get their crappy soap off. Use P21S car shampoo and rinse with steady stream to make a large sheet of water. Dry with Microfiber and wax. There is no substitution for hard work. Dont waste the $20 on this gimick!

don't attempt to towel dry because you will smear the glaze which is supposed to help excess water slide off the car. You have to let car dry on its own.....do not wipe. It's very important to follow instructions. My black 997S looks new every time and saves alot of time. When you put hose attachment on filter setting for final rinse, you must be very thorough to completely rinse off the unfiltered water from the car and then let it dry. Remember not to wash or let dry in the sun. I always do my car in the shade. This product works!!

I agree with Britt. It sux. It ruined my wax job. Water from then out sheets instead of beads. It does not blow off and really looks like poop.

I am getting an inline filter for my hose so I can rinse with the filtered water as this is the only positive to this gimick

Wow!! Can I really be the lucky one??... cuz it works great 4 me and I am very meticulous. Since my first post I have washed twice more and still no swirls and shines like new. I have yet to towel dry or wax and has saved me alot of time.

Has anyone tried to blow dry cars with a yard electric or gas powered blower?
