I bought it at wal*mart the other week for $21.00 (system + starter filter + starter soap)

I have used it twice, my opinion:
it works to an extent, but still bring out a towel for trouble spots & another towel for drying. I would recommend it, as long as you are aware it is not going to get rid of all the water in 10 minutes. That said it is a nice product, and it does save time washing your car.

Would you still get the same effect if your handwashed but the used the mr.clean water filter so you didnt have to dry?

ok-it's very simple say you go to brush your teeh do you
A.throw tooh paste in your mouth swosh it around and spit?
B.simply brush with water and tooth brush?
C.put toothpaste on brush and brush till clean.

din ding ding we have a winner if you you choose A-B god have merci on your sole.
see dirt stick's to a cars paint, and the only way to remove that dirt it to scrub wash it with soap sudds and a clean mit+water
hence brushing yuor teeth same theory!

The Mr. Clean stuff is what a mobile detailer who cannot afford to haul water with them at all times would use.

It might work for In-Between car washes, but nothing beats a touchless car wash. I mean, if you want to spend the time using this Mr. Clean stuff, why not pay 8 bucks at a Touchless wash? It has a dryer that will blow 90 percent of the water from your car. If you take a shammy with you, just dry the remaining few spots.

I recommend Mr. Clean's products if you plan to be working on the paint or polishing the paint using a buffer. Otherwise, just use a car wash.
