i'm sure you have all seen the commercial for that new arm&hammer car wash deal...but does it really work that well? i was thinking about buying it, but i dont wanna get screwed on some gimmicky product..but it would be nice for me because my car is black and its really hard to get it dry before the sun dries all the water and makes it look all shitty lol

try doing a search for autodry, there was a post with a review about this product here. Seems to do it's job pretty well.

just picked one up today after i failed and gave in to the temptation. it actually works. not 100% like on the commercials but it reduces the drying job by alot. there are still water spots but just here and there. not bad for 20bucks

i have one, and hate it. Too many steps, I prefer normal car washing. Also- - a great product to dry your car is the car squeegee, works great. Much more efficient than a chamois or towel

it works, for 4-5 washes, then you're supposed to buy the refill cartridges or whatever at $5 or $6 a pop, so its not really worth it. Regular stuff+water blade+ chamois works much better and doesnt need refills

hmmm. the blade scares me. Seems like it can scratch your car if some dirt or debris gets left behind. I guess a towel would do the same...

yea i guess i prolly wont buy one....but for all of you that use t-shirts and all of that, get "the absorber" it works super well...much better than towls, and i have tried the waterblade, but it make the paint look all shitty on my carfor some reason lol

a towel would actually be worse...the water blade is super easy to keep clean, just run your fingers down the actual blade before every pass, cant do that with a towel
