spot free wash....
I know I probably should be posting this in the "detailing" section of the forum but wanted to let you know on a good product i used yesterday.... I went to my local Autozone and found this Mr.Clean auto-dry wash kit for sale $19.99..... gave it a try and works great... it comes with a PUR water filter and there is no need to even dry your car... the water just trickles down and gives it a good shine. I highly recommend this product for those of you who wash your own cars...... very nice and is on sale right now.

this product is sh*t imo...
i don't like it @ ALL; honestly it seems to work OK the first time, but you still need to use a bucket/sponge, etc. plus you have to keep replacing the damn filter and use their brand of soap
you might as well just dry the car manually.

I tried on too (for $20 why not). Worked well at first but I found it needs a great amount of soap (Mr. Clean brand of course, not cheap). Also the filter change problem as well. I'm back to hand washing and a good rinse and hand dry. The introductory "sale" is a pure come on!

I too got it as a gift (from my wife so technically I paid for it 
) but it's really a waste of money. I spend a small fortune on the supplies (soap and filters) and still found myself touching up with a cloth on areas where it may not have rinsed as well. It does probably save you a little time though but it's all a gimmick.

Gas works too if you keep the exhaust off of the paint. I use the Mr. Clean gun to rinse after a Zaino wash, and finish with the leaf blower.
The Mr. Clean autodry thing is basically just an ion-exchange resin bed not unlike a water softener. I suppose it shoud really be more of a deionizer, but I'm betting it's the former.
