Mr. Clean AutoDry Carwash

[Stu]

how much does that CA waterblade run at local car supply stores?

About $10.

They're very nice for quick drying jobs.

I just picked up the Mr. Clean system for my wife's Toyota Matrix (at her insistance). I plan on using it soon and I'll let you know what happens. After reviewing the instructions it looks pretty straightforward. You set the gizmo and rinse the car. The set it again and spray with their special soap. Hand wash it using the soap it dispenses and a wash mit or sponge. Set it back to rinse mode and hose off the soap. Set it to the spot free rinse and rinse the entire car off and step away to let it dry. The theory behind it is that they filter the water to remove the mineral deposits that cuase the spotting. We'll see how good it really is.

OK, so I tried the Mr. Clean system on my car this past Saturday, and it worked well. I just let it sit there and it dried relatively spot free (of course it rained that night so it didn't last). Had the car been waxed, the water would have sheeted off a little easier (no the water is not supposed to bead, beading is what leaves spots). I'll eventually test it on my wife's new car which has a very nice finish. Overall, not a bad product and its one less thing to drag across the paint.

I bought the Cali Blade 2 years ago, and after that use tossed it to the back of my garage somewhere. I hated it, making it fit to the curves of the car took more effort than just wiping the damn thing down with a drying cloth.

i used one this weekend, but didn't use it to finish the dry, i just used it to get the majority of the water off, then went back with a towel. It was quite handy ot have a CA waterblade to use.
