I was wondering if anyone who has one of these can comment on how strong it is, specifically the collar on the bottom where the hose attaches. That looks like it would last a week if hit.

 

USED MINE TWICE AND IT DOES DRY WITHOUT SPOTTING, MAY LAST ALL I CAN SAY IS DON'T DROP IT AND YOU WILL BE FINE!

 

My wife bought one this weekend...did a trial use on her Benz before I would use it on my Z...

I give it a pretty good rating...not as good as if you dry your entire car by hand, but a great time saver.

I agree...don't drop it and you'll do just fine.

I have my doubts about this thing. Anyone use it on a black car?

 

I know two detailers that use it without the cleaning solution (as it streaks like hell), and swear by it. I'm going to start using it next week, but during the drying phase follow it up with big blue.

 

My uncle used it on his blck car, he was very dissappointed. however his detail guy told him to sub Mr clean for Mcguires gold Class Wash. He tried it that way and loved it.

 

Do you have to put the Gold Class soap in the gun?

Or can I just mix it in a bucket and wash as normal.

 

I don't actually have the gun, but from what I gather you can do either. If you want to go "soapless" then don't fill the cartridge and only use it for spotless drying.

 

I got the Mr. Clean Autowash gun and it worked pretty good on my Z. Didn't have to dry it. The only thing that sucks is that if your car hasn't been waxed in a while it will not work. My car is brand new so the water beaded off easily, also on this Altima that was new, but I washed a 2000 Miata that hadn't been waxed, and it had more spots than a dalmation. It's cool on new cars and it saves time, but drying it is better. You can see all the imperfections and get em' out. Besides you get to see everyone look at your car as you dry it.

 

can you use Zaino in that thang?

 

I have it and use it on a black car it works very well for the rinsing process. I rarely use it for the wash though, the spot free rinse is efficent though.

 

I have used the Mr. Clean Autowash and in my own opinion it works. I own a 2004 Silverstone and have washed my car three times and have never got any spots or streaks.

 

I got this thing and I like it.

You don't HAVE to use it as a soap dispenser, but it does spray soapy water conveniently. I usually use it to spray the car with soap, but then I work with my mitt and a bucket of clean soapy water.

For the first rinse I use my regular hose and sprayer. This gets the soap off.

Then I use the Mr Clean thingy as a final rinse. I think of it as if the Mr Clean is used to rinse off the other rinse water. It drys clean and spot free even on glass.

The construction is a little cheap, but it works.
