Mr.Clean Auto Dry Results
Just finished washing my 8 for the first time with this thing. Worked really well.... don't let it dry in direct sunlight though. I did and it didnt dry properly....requiring me to wait until the sun started to set and rewash the whole car... going through all three steps again. After that tho it looks great.

I washed 3 different cars, used up the soap cartridge, and threw the whole thing away. I guess if your driveway is sloped, the water runs off better, but I found the water stayed in the flat areas, like the roof, hood, trunk, and all the nooks and crannys. I had to dry the cars like I normally do. Maybe a little less. I also found switching the **** to the various positions annoying. I used a wash mitt, and found the cold water to be unpleasant. And probably the worst thing is that with a bucket I would rinse the mitt each time I dipped for soapy water, but with no bucket, I had to hose the mitt, which is not as good, or easy, or good for the car.

The Mr. Clean soap seemed to me to strip off wax (like Dawn dishwashing detergent). That's not necessarily a bad thing (like if you want to strip so you can rewax or apply Zaino), but it's a good thing to know in advance.

I used the Mr. Clean soap on a couple of cars, and it didn't strip the wax off any of them.
As I stated earlier, it isn't necessary to use the Mr. Clean soap to get the spot free rinse. I've used my old stand-by soap, and did a final rinse with the Mr. Clean filtered spray and got a nice, spot-free car. Just use the filtered rinse like you're painting the car and push off all of the standing water with the spray, leaving only a film. It'll dry spot free (as long as you're not in direct sunlight).

Leather care: I love the Zaino product Z-9. Warning: Don't spray directly on your seats, put it on a rag and then use on your seats. I have marks on the black rubbery parts of my seats from the Z-9 overspray. My interior is chap. & blk.

The Mr. Clean system worked really well on my titanium. I did it on a sloped driveway on a cloudy day. It actually surprised me that it worked as advertised! My only complaint is the "dry-rinse polymer" soap that's $5 for a small refill bottle. After reading these posts, I'm gonna try regular car wash soap next time.

I used the Mr. Clean Autodry today ..
I first washed my wifes Gold CRV, it came out great.. there was a few spots i had to wipe but 85% of the car was very nice..
Then I did my Winning Blue 8 .. This time it sucked big donkey dicks . The water tried to dry spot free but only about 5% of the car really did. I had to reapply the stuff and then dry my car by hand.. Ofcourse there were still some spots an streaks.. Then i waxed the car to discover that the finish felt dirty still.. The CRV feels very smoth ! . Not sure what is up here. Both of these cars have a factory installed coating of Perma Plate ! but the 8 came out like crap
So, Ill be rewashing her tommorw
Ugg cant wait for my Clear Bra
P.s. I was in the shade on a hill .
