Dude I want one of those...I was just talking about it tonight with my wife. We're always lazy b/c we live in an apt and it's a pain to haul out the buckets, etc. That thing would kick ***.

I'm going to try it soon. I hear it works good too.

My guess is that it starts to get somewhat expensive. Since you have to use their "specially formulated" soap and the filters are only good for 5 washes.

But still, it could be worth it for the convenience.

Lots of ppl say its cool but you could get the same effect with really well-filtered water, dont really need to buy all the special soap and junk.

you can just buy a spray handle with replaceable filters and just use your own soap like ^ said.

I use Meguiars Crystal Car Wash if I have a good coat of Klasse on there, and dish soap before I apply new polish.

It's funny, I manage a car wash now!

Yea i just bought the Mr. Clean system and it works pretty good. I mean the washing solution could have more suds but as for the spot free drying....it works for very well.

The AUtoDry is tight for drying the car but it's not that great for soaping up the car. unless you have two people and work as a team it's just as easy and cheaper to use a soap and bucket method. then use the ionized water to dry it, it's so easy. totally lazy but who cares it's a boon to mankind

Does anyone who has tried it have any opinions if the paint still feels smooth after the rinse?
