anyone tried this yet...?

been posted twice so far. I ordered it when I first saw it, have yet to get it.

 

looks like a hand held de ionizer.

you can buy them for your house water supply, it basicly makes hard water soft, as hard water is just water with impurities(metal mostly) in it, these are what spot on the car.

I gotta say Im a bit skeptical of it tho.

when did you order it? was it a while ago? or recently.

 

Its only pre order now. They haven't shipped any to anyone yet.

 

i ordered about a week or two ago. My order is not shipped as of yet. For 30 bucks I am willing to try it, I am very skeptical as I live in a high heat climate and water spots are the main concern around here. I hate washing my car panel by panel to escape water spots. I hope it works and I will post pics and reviews when I get it.

 

P&G PRODUCT!!!!! I've gotta try it!


(I work for P&G)

 

Were you working for HP before....?

 

I don't think it is a dionizer or a mineral remover. I don't think you could remove minerals as fast as a hose can spray.

My guess is that it is a sheeting agent dispenser. They probably add a small amount to the water stream. That would prevent the water from forming large beads and that is what spots.

Perhaps a surfactant to reduce surface tension? Any chemists here want to speculate?

 

GOOD MEMORY!! lol

Well technically I was hired into P&G, but beginning Aug. 1, HP began distributing my paycheck through the outsourcing deal. So I work for HP. But I still "work for P&G" as a contractor (doing their work - supporting their systems).


So essentially P&G is my customer, but I'm still kinda loyal to most of their products

 

Us IT people will remember those types of details... I saw you post HP before and remember thinking to myself, "wow, she works for a good company."

 

I use a leaf blower, works wonders. No streaks, no marks. However, the neighbors WILL think your nuts.

 

it said it had a filter made by PUR to remove impurities in the water...

 

I wonder if I can use my leaf blower. It still has remants of last years leaves. Guess that won't work, will it? LOL


I use the California Wiper Blade (silicon blade). $19.95. This thing is awesome, doesn't get all the water off in tight places, but it does get about 90% off. Cuts my drying time in half.

 

My concern abuot this.. they say they use a special soap, well does this soap remove the wax such as a Dawn dish detergant? If so, this product is useless IMO.. Can you use other soaps instead?

 

Any chance you get a discount and want to pass one along to me?

 

Ive heard the leaf blower trick, its quite common actually.

but its gotta be electric cause gas tends to get a little oil in there. ussually why they get dirty as well cause the whole thing has a thin layer of grease on it.

electric blowers are ussually pretty clean for some reason, and shoot out clean air.

 

Good call there, I would be interested to know that as well.

Jetpilot, our neighbors probably already think most of us are nuts, so what the hell!

 

It says on their website that it doesnt.

 

It doesn't what? Remove waxes? Doesn't accept other soaps..? I couldn't find anything..

 

It doesnt remove wax. It doesnt accept other soaps. It doesnt work without mr clean soap, because mr clean soap has a special thing that sheets the water off the car when applied to the car. Once the car dries your car goes back to beading if you have waxed it.
