I see this advertised on TV (Speed Channel) a lot, and wodering id anyone has used it? How is it? Where I live, we have typically hard water, so I need to plumb in another hose connection outside connected to the softener, unles this works.

I thought about it and since even "spotless" rinses in car washes can't do the trick, I *seriously* doubt this stuff will.

Just my $0.02

You'll have to dry the entire car no matter what -- and that area around the trunk lid 3 or 4 times.

Andy, I've been mentioning this for awhile here and happened to see a test of it on one of the morning shows.......It works even on a car parked on level ground. It uses filters positioned in the handle.
I'll be one of it's first customers as drying a car is a bit too much for me.

I bought the kit after I had water spot problem. (I normally wash it early am but decided to wash late pm on a dry sunny day and before I could dry severe water spot. Very hard to remove the spots.)

Since then I now only wash early am while there is shade, first run the water for 2 minutes to empty out any deposits in the line/hose and final rinse w/out nozzle to cause sheeting off of water.

2 months after ordering I receive the kit. Hook up the hose and try it thru the filter, which is only used for the final rinse. The water mists out, no way is it going to sheet the water off. Not only that but the filters are only good for 3 uses!

I am sending it back!:mad: :mad: :mad:

Ummmm, that's not how I saw it, as a mist, filters good for only three washes, like a vacumn cleaner and bags they got ya hooked, not a good deal. Thanks for the 411, had my hopes up for it.
