Thumbs up Mr. Clean AutoDry...it REALLY works!

Since today was a balmy 60 degrees here in jersey, I decided to wash my car and give Mr. Clean a try. When I first heard about this product claiming a dryless car wash, I personally didn't believe it. So I followed all the instructions on the box and got started:

Rinse
Soap (use a mitt or sponge to apply)
Rinse
Mr. Clean AutoDry

To my amazement, the water just sheeted off my car. I was standing there staring in disbelief. Now I know you guys are not going to believe me. Remember, I didn't believe it myself at first. What would normally take me close to 3 hours to do the entire car, this time it only took me less than an hour.

The best part was that it left NO streaks or waterspots, even on the windows. All this without using a single towel to dry!

In the end, I really recommend this product.

Not really cause a carwash nowadays is over $10, right. With the refills, I can get over 10 carwashes for less than $10.

Plus, I rather wash my car than take it to a carwash anyday.

I heard that after you use it, it leaves behind some greasy film layer on your car?

ya I saw a demo at the auto show, and it was quite amazing...it's basically a filter you attach to the hose and it sprays on some product that dries the water without leaving water spots on the car. As soon as canadian tire has stock of it, I'm picking it up!

I believe there is a coupon on their website for 5 bucks off or something like that. But it's still on the expensive side....

I will confirm it once I use my car in the rain. But it is going to be in like 2 weeks cause I am using my mom's accord while she's away.

BTW, RYAN97812 said he used it with NO residue (the post right after yours). Take his word for it. If not then you can wait for me.:p

Pick it up at any auto store of Kmart, Target, Wal-Mart, etc.

Might have to give it a shot.

Don't know about the zaino issue. I guess we need a guinea pig for that. Are you volunteering?
