mr. clean car wash

Has anyone used that mr. clean car wash thing where you don't have to dry the car because of that chemical?

It seems nice and easy but I don't know about putting that chemical on my car.

haha he gave it an excellent review. It seems his problem was his water sucks in general. I think my water is fine but I will probably stick to drying it with a cloth

It leaves a residue behind, which imo, is not good for the surface in the long term.

You can read reviews on it if you do a search, but I will pass on making my car a guinea pig.

I think using a filter on your water line and a chamois to dry it with is the best choice.

Yea I really don't think it's a big deal. Anyways, if you have a good coat of wax on there shouldn't be any problem. I used it the other day and I was impressed.

Yeah maybe the filter is good but I still don't know about that quick dry chemical. I guess if it was really bad, people would be getting there money back for it.

How much are they?

The quick dry technology is a chemical - it contains polymers that are supposed to speed up the process of how fast the water dries. That's why there were/are complaints about residue being left on the car that are stubborn to take off and so forth.
