anyone seen this thing in action yet? built in water filter with spot free rinse, doesn't sound half bad.

mr. clean

 

The theory behind the spot clean is dead on. My dad does maintenance on all the automated carwashes in East TX, they're all over though and say 'Laser 4000' on the thing that goes over your car. They have this same filter, but on a larger scale.

I would check on filter replacements too. With bad water the filters would probably get clogeed real quick. The ones that they use in the carwash are pretty damn high too.

 

I read up on this product last night. I'm interested.

 

OHHHHHHHHH, spot free rinsing, no more polishing the just washed truck!

 

I have a brige over Lake Sahara I'll sell you if it works. Snake oil if you ask me. It may not spot, but it sure will streak. I have yet to use a carwash or product that has "spot free rinse" and have it work.

 

These carwashes I'm talking about are actually spot free. They do just what it says, but there is only 1 problem with it. The spot free part isn't high enough pressure or volume to get the soapy water out of all the cracks and crevices. Mine streaks down the mirrors and that's about it.

 

Yea i was thinkin the same would happen with that thing not having enough pressure. I went out and bought an electric pressure washer from sears for like $120 and am thinkin that i can put in the soap into the auto dispenser and spray all the junk off the car first, then use that autodry attachment thing and just wash the soap off. Haven't tried this idea yet, but sounds like it may work.

 

You wash your car as normal, rinse as normal, then spot free rinse. This way you rinse all the 'dirty' water off with the spot free water.

The disolved solids and other minerals in the water is what leaves the spots. Reverse osmosis will remove disolved solids and minerals and any other impurioty in the water, thus a spot free rinse.

 

Yea but im not going to use the water straight from the tap. I forgot to mention that with this kraucher thing i got it can pump water from a source, like a bucket or whatever. Im thinkin to just put that water from the autodry sprayer into a bucket, use the soap they give you and put it into the dispenser on the pressure washer. Then wash it off like normal with the autodry gun. I'm thinkin this way i'll never have to use a towel again except for little things.

 

I'm thinking about this too...

One that that I LOVE thought, is that "Californial water blade" thing. First site I found, here...

The site is pretty dead on. At first, it's okay. Then you start to learn to use it better. It takes me 5 minutes to wipe down 90-95% of the surface water on the truck. The rest I don't care much about, I'm not that picky. I could aways hand dry from there, in another 5 minutes.

It's a hundred times easier than any chamois, and quicker than a standard cotton towel.
