Use the search tool, there is a post about this already. Not worth it too me though.

I heard some good things out of the product, but it seems a little pricey. I also heard the soap also leaves streak marks.


Here's the post and below it the search page

seems to compromise the wax's ability to bead also. either its leaving a residue of its sheeting agent or its stripping the wax. pick your poison.

I initially was impressed that the car "dried itself" without spotting. However, it became apparent that the soap required by the system was leaving a film which affected the surface of the Zaino layers.

I've decided I would rather have a slick, shiny paint surface, even if I have to dry my car with a towel. [I am considering buying an RV deionizing filter to put on the hose to accomplish the same "no touch, no spotting" drying, however.]

I think a deionizer is the way to go. at very least; you can dry it quickly with a simple towel. my problem isnt drying the car; its the little spots that dry before I get to them... if it was deionized that should be reduced to almost nothing.

you could use the unit as a deionizer and not load the soap. but even so; youd have to wash the whole car with it; as soon as any regular water hits it and possibly dries; you got a spot.

Others have posted that WalMart already has it on the shelf right now for 19.99...

But I do not care for it myself, here are the short comings others have listed:

1. You seem to have to use the Mr. Clean wash that cotains some sort of dry rinse chemical that one detailer enthusiast said left a film on his paint work. Have to keep buying this special car wash to get it to work the way the unit is designed which leaves you hung out not being able to use your favorite car wash you are using now.

2. The filter gets dirty quickly and is only good for a few washings.

3. The actual final rinse using the purified water (you DO NOT use the purified water until the very end of the washing cycle, to rinse off the majority of the soap you use unfiltered water running thru the unit) comes out in a very weak stream that takes longer to run over the entire surface of the car compared to the time it takes to dry it the normal way by hand.

4. Leaving the water beads on the car to dry with out spots prevents you from using your detailer spray after the wash for quite a while why the car drys on its own....
