anybody tried www.autodry.com product? claims to leave no water spots and no drying required.

 

looks like BS to me

 

Ive got a friend who swears by it. I have never used it, but it works for his car.

I was also wondering about the Simoniz Car Wash that is suppose to dry spotless , hmm!

 

I used the Mr.Clean stuff, but its like 10.99 for the replacement filter that gives you spotless. I used it at first and it didnt leave spots, however after I replaced the filter a weird film residue like milky substance was left on my paint, it looked like some one poured milk on my car... so I threw it out after that. If you want to do the lazy way, I would get what detailers use, water-deionizing machine. I heard its expensive, but Ive heard of them going for $500 on craigslist. I like drying the car by hand so I can wax it right after.

 

The concept of the Mr. Clean is good, but the execution is bad. 1st, the soap that is used to wash the car is EXTREMELY harsh. It stripped the wax off on the first wash for me. Second, the PUR filter that's in it lasts all but 2-3 rinses. At $11 bucks a pop, that adds up. The true de-ionized alternative is a product called CR Spotless www.crspotless.com. I use it in the field everyday. Depending on how harsh your water is, getting 200-600 gallons of DI water is normal. You simply wash the car like you would and the final rinse is with the CR Spotless. Then you simply walk away. The glass, chrome, paint, etc. dries spot free. You only use anywhere from 5-10 gallons per wash. PM me for more info.

 

you guys could probably build your own DI filter setup for a lot less money. i use a RODI setup on my reef tank. it wouldn't be as pretty but i'm certain you could do it for way less money.

 

It's really not the unit that costs a lot; it's the resin. The unit pays for itself if you take into consideration paying the car wash and/or detailer to fix the swirls and scratches made by a car wash or careless detailer.

 

the resin isn't bad either. i buy bags of it from my local fish store to recharge my dual di unit. i think this company has a niche product and is really jacking up their margins.

 

Forget Mr. Clean... it's a bunch of crap. get the DI system

 

I got one for a X-mas present when they frist came out, used it once on my truck and hated it......... But it does work great for washing the windows on the house.

 

Thanks for the info, Moe. I just ordered one today. I also need to talk with you about taking a look at the GT3 RS...I want to be sure it is treated well...I will send you a PM...
