Wrong. You can only use the mr clean wash in the object sprayer. If you wash the car with different wash and only use the rinse, it will still bead water. The mr clean wash has a dry sheeting polymer in it that makes the water sheet off of the car, thus less chance of spots. If you dont use the mr clean wash you wont get the spot free guarantee they advertise.

 

Most coin op car washes have deionized water for rinse. Have you tried it verse Mr Clean?

 

What up Warren!

Im sure most Z owners dont wash their cars at the coin-op car wash, especially ones that would be reading the "detailing" forum. I didnt know those places utilized that technology.

 

Well I have every other car care product. . . .might as well buy this too!

If it messes up my zaino there will be h3ll to pay!

Hey there are already a few on ebay!!

 

Hey DJK,

I use to own a shopping center with a self service car wash in it. I found out more about car washes than I ever wanted to know. The type of equipments, water tempertures, filters, drainage, health dept permits and on and on....lol Saw some really nice low riders in there on weekends with major $$$$ pain jobs too.... I even had the operator washed my black Mercedes once but wouldn't let him use the brush.....

Conyeted, can you list the materials that are in the car washes? I want a Zaino distribitor (And a Dr. Bonz review!!!) to approve or disprove this product before I buy. I don't understand how the water evoporates. If there's alcohol in the ingedents, could this be hurting the paint or the Zaino?

 

of course! P&G employees are geniouses!!


*shamless employer plug*


now go raise our stock price some more!


They had a huge company promo for this product a couple of months ago outside the HQ.... They were demonstrating on a NASCAR car and it worked pretty well from what I could tell.

 

The ingredience in the soap are...
1) Soap
2) Dry Sheeting Polymer

Go and read up on how it works at HomeMadeSimple.com The way it works is, the soap sheets water off of the car. Once you rinse with normal water, the water sheets off. You mist with the De-Ionized water which is simply filtered water with all of the spot causing materials taken out. When water sits on the car, after it has sheeted off, its a very thing layer of deionized water. The thin layer simply evaporates over time, just like normal water.
My only complaint so far is, when it rained this morning, the sheeting polymer seemed to still be on the car some. My zaino made the water bead very heavily, but now the effect has diminished some. I like sheeting better, to tell you the truth, but this could be a negative for anyone who likes the heavy beading zaino gives the wax.

 

You work at home made simple? If so, you guys have **** for customer service. I called twice noone could tell me anything about my order status. I wrote a letter asking for my order status NO RESPONSE. I did everything i could and noone could tell me anything. If you guys want this, I recommend waiting till stores carry it.

 

I tried it today for the first time. I received a demo kit from the marketing people.

I was pleasantly surprised at how well it worked! It was about 60 degrees outside and overcast. I rinsed the car as instructed and then shot the soap onto each panel, using a mitt to spread the soap and remove the dirt.

Following the soaping, I again rinsed the car and then "misted" it with the deionized water. The machine shoots a fine fan-shaped spray about a foot in diameter. You hold the machine about a foot above the body part and mist the entire panel.

Following the misting, I went inside and watched basketball for about an hour....when I went back out, the car was spotless. When I drove it, water leaked out from the side mirrors, but it was easily wiped off. That water was the only drying I did on the entire car!

All in all, I think the product is a keeper. I understand the deionizing filter that will be provided when the product becomes available to the public will allow about 10 car washes before it needs to be replaced. This product certainly removes the risk of scratching your car when using a towel or chamois to dry it

 

I got mine also a few days ago. Still a little chilly around here, but plan on trying it ou on Sunday. I'll let you guys know how it works on a DB Z.

 

well it looks good then; Ill wait to hear back about the sheeting part; what worries me is that it either strips the wax; or it leaves a deposit of the soap on there... gotta be one or the other; neither is really good tho...

 

I doubt a soap simply sprayed on could remove 15+ layers of zaino in one washing. I used a mit but hardly at all. I think its just little soap deposits, I couild have just not rinsed enough.

 

You don't need this if all you are looking for is an easy way to dry a car.

For your final rinse, just take the nozzle off your hose and turn it on about 1/3 of the way. Simply hold the hose an inch or so above the car and rinse it off gently without splashing the water around. The natural sheeting action of water will cause 95% of the water to roll of the car.

If your car has even just a decent wax on it, the car will be almost dry. When I do mine this way, I could finish drying it with a single paper towel.

 

SteveZzz: I sheet the water for my final rinse also (I never SPRAY water on my car).

This mist works very well however and doesn't require the need for a towel to touch your car except on the side mirrors (where the water accumulates inside) and to remove the water from the creases in the engine compartment and back hatch. Everything on the surface dries spotless by itself.

 

if the soap is anything like joy; it is possible that it could remove the wax. if you wash with joy; it will sheet then as well.

Im still very interested in this; cause I wont lie; I hate drying my car; its a pain in the ***; you did the whole washing; and its clean; and I just want to be done cause it COLD out. but nope, gotta go dry it... I could do without that step for sure. but not if it means I have to keep applying wax of course.

perhaps you could wash the car once normal; using your own soap and all(removing anything that may have been left before); then report back on if it beads again; that should give a conclusion of whether it its deposits from the soap or if the wax was stripped somehow... just one idea to figure out what happened.

 

I work at Procter & Gamble - manufacturer of Mr Clean AutoDry thingy (and just about every other dang product that comes to mind)

homemadesimple is just a collaboration website of different P&G fabric & home care brands - instead of having seperate websites for each brand (i.e, febreze.com, tide.com, mrclean.com, swiffer.com, etc.)

I have nothing to do with the customer service tho LoL - although I probably manage a couple of their databases.

Sorry that you're getting sucky customer service from the folks in MrClean brand tho

 

This products seems cool and i was even going to try it, but i think that when i wash my Z, its worth the extra time to hand wash and dry the car. This products is great for my other cars that i dont really care the hand wash and/or dry.

 

I just picked up the kit at Target department store for $20. Plan to give it a try tomorrow.

 

After using it for the 3 washes covered by the "test" unit, I'm a little disappointed with the AutoDry. The deionized mist works well, but the soap seems to leave a "film" on the car.

After using the unit, the surface of the car was not slick (in spite of all the Zaino). I washed it again with my regular carwash soap and dried it with a Big Blue waffle microfiber towel, and the surface was again like new.

The deionized water is a good idea, but I'm not sold on the polymer soap the unit requires.
