Mr. Clean AutoDry washing gun?

[stprorolla49]

Since im sitting around waiting for my car to be done, watching Speed channel, i saw a commercial for the Mr.Clean AutoDry and i wonder if its any good. Have any of you guys tried it? I feel like it would be nice to not have to dry it because thats extra rubbing on the paint, but is the chemical that automatically dries the car bad for the paint? Im in no rush to buy this as i was always skeptical about it, i am just very curious.

I dont think its a chemical that dries it water. Its the filter that removes all the residue from the water, so you can let it dry and there wont be spots from mineral deposits and stuff in the water.

I see....well has anyone used this?

I remeber my dad had one. I think he said something about the water coming out SO slow that it takes forever to rinse the soap off.

I use it. I would recommend it to anyone that is anal about their new paintjob (I think this is why you want it, Michael). As Eric noted, it's a filter that allows it to dry spot-free.

I do recommend washing the car with a soft terry towel or similar still. The filtered water setting is slow, but assuming you use the non filtered setting to wash the soap off, and then use the filtered setting to finish, it's not that bad time-wise.

Hmm, sounds like a plan. How many washes do you get out of the filter? I am extremely anal about washing my car, so this might be the thing for me.

They say 8-10...but I find that I change it after around 6-7. You can tell when it's working, because it creates a cool dancing effect on the paint

I have one also, you use the normal spray to clean the soap off, then rinse using the filter mode. Works great, no spots anywhere. I like this product, I recommend it.

Alright i guess that answers that. If i ever get home, im gonna buy one

I have a black car and live where the water is very hard with lots of mineral deposits and stuff in the water.
I love it no spots

Now I want one. I have no access to hook a hose up though. Damn townhouses. Time to move.

 

[Killercanary]

I've had one for a number of years now and it works great. I get a lot more than 6 washings out of the filter though. I guess it depends on how much deposits are in your water.

I have one but I dont use it anymore, I just wash the car the regular way and use an absorber its like a shammy but its 100X better.

 

[BlueOvalStangGT]

I bought one and never really liked it.

 

[juiced_94gt]

I LOVE the absorber "it dries the best" but will go get that mr clean thing tomorrow and give it a shot

 

[Venom351R]

IMO the Absorber > any other drying method out there.

 

[Nik_95Cobra]

I've never had good results with it no matter which color the car has been. I use microfiber sponge, and dry with an Absorber, then spray detail it.

 

[WhiteDevil]

I have use one for a couple years. For some reason mine seems to be tempermental. Sometimes it works and there are no spots and some times it still leaves some spots.
