Anyone use this? Seems like one of those things that is too good to be true. Still, I love to buy detailing gadgets. . . .

Gimme the skinny on this thing.

Works great.

Leaves no water spots, I haven't used it on my car but my dad used it on his G35 and it looked great.

works good, they claim the filter will last 10 washes, no way in hell, more like 4

worked pretty good on my black paint. Definitly not as good as a thorough drying, but MUCH better than nothing at all.

I love mine! The only downside is its kinda expensive in the long run because you have to use their soap and you have to use the filters, and you have to replace the filters frequently. The filters are like 7 bucks for a 10x uses. I am glad I have one though because they do save a lot of time, and no water spots is always a plus, I HATE water spots.

Did it leave a lot of water spots on the black?I have a black car and if I don't dry it immediately, the entire car is spotted.

I actually have a water pump in the backyard push underground unfiltered water to my garden hose and the Mr. Clean seemed to really help with my water spot issues due to hard NC water. Anyone else wonder how much of that rinse soap really gets washed off by the filtered water? Mine seems to come out like a mist.. eventually it gets most of the soap I suppose...

On two cars, the first car (black):
It worked for me on the third time, the first time, it left water streaks and it really made my car dirty for some reason, the second time had more success, but water still beaded up, the third time it worked good, but it had a few water spots..

On the second car (redfire), it worked perfect, no water spots at all.

It works great for me. I did have a greasy film once but it never happened again.

Your supposed to rinse it off with the unfiltered water, then use the filtered spray.

I bought one and used it on my car yesterday. Worked pretty well on the paint, but my glass looked horrible...At least I didn't have water pouring out of the hood scoop forever.
