Anyone use the Mr. Clean AutoDry? What do you think? I have one I got for my old car and girlfriends car. I thought it worked out really well I just wish I could use better soap with it. I think I may just clean my Z by hand everytime with the Meguiars soap I like to use. Just curious if anyone else used it regularly or had any opinions on it.

I use this to clean my T/A once a week and it works great. I'm not sure if using a different soap would mix well with the auto dry filter, but there was a time when I ran out and used some random soap for awhile and it still worked great but didnt dry as good or quickly with the actual auto dry filter.

i just use it for the water filter. i still use zaino to wash but after the rinsing, i rinse again with the filtered water. that's the key to preventing the water spots. the mr. clean soap is supposed to have some drying agent that helps it dry faster if you can't wait that long.

I like mine. It came in handy when I had the 4 door 4x4 dually. It took forever and a day to wash and dry that thing before. It cut the time in half by not having to hand dry it.

I didn't like it because where I live we have well water, which is pretty hard water. So the the starter filter only lasted one wash, and the refill filters only lasted 3 washes. So I returned it.

I wash my car at a pay car wash, then take it home to use the autodry. The starter filter doesn't last long, but when you get the refills that last for "10 washes". But 10 of their washes are like 5 of my washes so it's not what they make it out to be, but it isn't bad.

Yea I was thinking about giving this a try this summer also, I dreed all the washing buffin waxin ect so this should help out with a couple steps anyway..after drying does your car still keep the shine or does it wash away?youd think that that drying agent would eat away from the wax quikly...so instead of drying car all the time now you get to wax it more yippy fun!!! now that would suck!
