Search on it. AcuraTLjatt have used it and it seems to be working fine except for the filter gets used out in 3-4 cleanings.

Just used it today, twice (bird bombing 5 hours aftr I cleaned it). I am not convinced. It dostn seem to stop spotting all that great, and the "water sheeting action" of whatever they call is is so so...to the point where I turned on a stand fan to hurry the process up. I would say, get some good car washing soap, a chenile wash mit and a california water blade...Mr. Clean isnt worth the $$$$

I totally disagree. It worked great for me. I did not even use 1 single towel to dry my car. The sheeting action was amazing. There were no waterspots on the car or even on the windows. I highly recommend this product. Check out my review here:

worked for me but the refills are killer says you can use the filter about 5-10 car washes only could get 3 out of it and soap doesn't last that long either. BUT IT WORKS.

There is a long thread on this on Autopia.com (see http://www.autopia.org/forums/showth...=clean+autodry). There seems to be some residue left by the Mr. Clean process that is causing some detailers difficulty.

A friend of mine who is REALLY anal about his vehicles has used it, and says the same as the above. He does say that it really works. And let me repeat - this guy is unbelievably anal. He has so much of Griots Garage products he could be a dealer for them. And his vehicles include an immaculate 2001 Corvette with $5,000 wheels, a supercharger, $1,000 of interior mods, etc, etc.

I've used it the last three weeks. It seems to work fairly well. It does dry quicker and without spots. I have a well system with verrry hard water and it does allow the car to dry without spots. The starter filter is only good for three washes but it says the replacement filters are good for about 10. Will see about that.
Considering my hard water problem (I couldn't reall wash my cars without very bad water spotting), I believe it has easily been worth the money.

I have used it with no problems. It's excellent. I let it sit for a few minutes but if I'm in a hurry I just take out my towel and finish drying it.
