So give me the scoop on this product...i hear so much about it on here...dont need to buy the whole system...just the soap/what stores carry it?

It's crapola!!

I love it!! Works great but you have to do the car in sections. The only problem is the parts like the roof, hood, trunk you do get a couple spots but nothing that can't be wiped off with a little spray polish. The only thing I don't like is it doesn't do windows well and its hard to find refills.

Why do you say that?

+1!!

I've been using it for 3 or 4 years. It's great not to have to wipe down your car after washing it.

I just found the soap refills for $0.79 a bottle...... Yes, you read that right, $0.79 per bottle. Bought all 6 they had.

In my area, our water is RO'ed seawater. Iy does NOT work well at all. Leaves significant spotting. (RO is reverse osmosis, a filtering system intended to remove salt)

Go with Croftgate, don't even need water. :up:

Why do you say that?

The soap is way too harsh, there have been some reviews/tests on a few of the car detailing forums that have shown with proof paint and clearcoat loss!
The drying aspect is nice but in reality it is merely a filter that removes stuff from your water supply, I just use a whole house filter on my car wash hose.
With the open hose flooding I can get the same results without the apparatus.

When it 1st came out I bought it and tried it on my Black Mark 8, I found that within a few uses water was not beading in certain spots on my finish. I did some research and found it was eating my Zaino products right off of the car.
I gave it to my father in law who thinks wash n wax is proper paint care...

You can use the head but use good car shampoo instead of the Mr Clean product. Your paint will thank you.

I thought it worked real well (got it as a gift) but i was unwilling to pay the outrageous price for the soap and the filter. But i would still end up going around the car with a towel and doing touch up.

I found that going around the car with a waterblade to remove 90% of the water, then using a towel works real well. And its way cheaper.

I swear by that product for rinsing the car off. Always dries spot free.
I never use the soap though, as it leaked all over the place the first time I tried it, and I wasn't crazy about the way it barely foamed up either.
I've heard it's been discontinued though (in Canada anyway). Not sure if that's true, but just in case, I'm on the hunt for filters, so I can stock up.

I used to use it every now and then. I found the soap refills at the dollar store so I stopped buying the soap refills at autozone. Haven't used it in awhile though.

[jeffrt]

Did a little more searching, and it appears that it is discontinued.
There must be some demand, cause filters are going for big $$ on eBay.
They used to be around $8-9, and they're going for $20 online now.
The only problem with the cheap kits is that they only come with a filter good for around 3 washes, where the refill ones are good for 10 (so they say).
I use mine until I see spots appearing, which is usually more than 10.

go with croftgate, don't even need water. :up:

One of the best wax strippers on the market. Just take the nozzle off and the hose will make a waterfall.

I've been useing Turtle Wax "Car Wash & Wax" for years on all my autos. Simple, low cost, easy to find and works well.
