Mr. Clean Auto dry

Well i just tried out the new mr. clean auto dry, and have to say i am very disapointed. I still have water spots on my car and dirt spots. It say on the last stage to rinse the car on the third setting until the water on the car was rinsed off with the filtered water. I rinsed the car with the filtered water a foot away like it says for almost an hour and still water is beading on my car and leaving water marks. I am just very annoyed that i spent this time and now the car looks like **** cause parts look good and other parts look like ****. Has anyone else tried this product and gotten the same results?

Mr. Crap

I have hard water in my area but have a filter so i figured this thing would work. WRONG. after the spots starting forming i wanted to break it against a tree but calmed down and just returned it for a refund. now i wash it w/RO water by hand.

just buy a 220 mph leaf blower (~$75 at walmart), park your car in the shade, wash it, then blow dry it. No water marks

I drive a Titanium Grey

I've used the Mr. Clean auto dry. (I still do)

be sure that soap the part your washing thoroughly...

I've grown to not use the 3rd stage.... I've found that the filtered water doesnt get rid of anything. just another way to get your money...

but try it once without the "auto Dry" stage.

I found it to solve my problem

Mr. Clean Auto Dry works...to a point. It will give you a fast wash that will not have any visible spots at NORMAL viewing disance say 5-10 feet. It will not give you a show room spotless finish. Kind of depend on your needs - a hurried, good-enough job or a perfectly spotless car.
