Rep Power: 0 Aiite, to let u guys know about this...
I used it last last week... Saturday, the day it was really really sunny and warm... then it poured on the Sunday! FAWWWKK!!!
newayz... my personal review. I was pretty skeptical about this too... but my friend purchased it while he was getting his car fixed at my friends shop for a few hours... so we headed back to his basement apartment that has a carwash bay... and i followed the directions and used it.
The trigger that comes with it is pretty cool... it has 3 settings. RINSE... SOAP and WATER... the De-Ionizer (sp?).
I first rinsed the car normally to get all the lose dirt off it... then, i switched it to the soap and water setting. soap was filled in the little reservoir prior to using the Mr. Clean trigger. i sprayed it all over the car and it smelled good! apple! just like the jolly rancher! hahahaha! newayz... yah... after I got it all over the car, i soaked the mit with it and i washed the car like normal. after that... i set it back to RINSE, and hose down the car. at this point, it was clean of course! now.... the part that's suppose to amaze me! i put the setting to the de-ionizer and i misted the entire car from top to bottom. it's a very light mist. kinda like the mist that comes from the falls, but it shoots out in a very light and spreaded stream. i made sure i didn't miss a spot... and that was it. i just stood there with my friend, and watched! i was pretty amazed!!! i could see all the wet spots just disappearing and leaving the area completely dry, and spotless!!! note, i was underground, no sun, no wind, etc. so it took some time. after about 20 minutes, i drove it outside and had a look. it did a really good job!!! beats having to chamois the car all over. altho, i did use my chamois still around the lights, the trunk lining, door edges, basically any part where water starts running after. but over all, the hood, doors, panels, and the WINDOWS were extremely clean! I'm satisfied with the results. it does what it's suppose to do.
there's my review... i'm not trying to sell this product at all. that's just my personal experience with it two weeks ago. i just chamoised the little areas, cuz i don't like the water running here and there. i'm sure u'll all do the same thing. overall, great product... and cool trigger! hehehe! as for the soap, it leaves the paint clean, but it doesn't feel as smooth after it dries like Meguiars soap. but it's still clean.
all of u post and let's see how it turned out for you guys. maybe u guys will find a better way to do it. that was my first time, so it took some time, just like waxing... after doing it so often u'll get faster. hehee!

Rep Power: 0 $30 for the kit plus i have to buy soap ($8) and a filter ($9). don't tell me that these only last a few washes as well? that's $47! that's almost 8 basic car washes at my local gas station. it's way too expensive for something that runs out so quick not to mention the fact that you still have to do it yourself. i could get my car done at a car wash for about $6 and get similar results and not have to lift a finger except to pass the guy my car wash reciept.
it takes me 1.5 hours to wash and dry my car. i get every lil' corner... but it'll take 10 seconds on the road for my car to get dirty. haha
and another half hours for waxing.
i bring my broom stick and a bucket to a self car wash
3bucks for 3 or 4mins.. dont quite remember.
HIGH PRESSURE HOSE... strongest pressure i've used anywhere.
i just fill up the bucket with water and ahd some car soap... and rinse the car.
then clean the car myself... and then use another 3bucks to rinse.
i find the soap at those places dont work.... and car washes at gas stations dont work all that well either.. it'll get it clean though.. but it doesnt get every corner i would like it to get
