water blades, or running down the road fast (depends on what was just washed). for the dirt on it afterwards just wipe it down with a California Car duster and your fine. The Mr. Clean crap leaves some film on the car that i cant stand.

I use Mr. Clean AutoDry. It doesn't leave any film on my car. It really doesn't save me any time, but it does save you from rubbing a towel on your car. It also prevents any spotting from trapped water that runs out after you dry the car. As long as you change your filter when needed the system works very well.

I agree. I use that also. I've never had any problems with it.

i use the mr. clean auto wash and after using the fitler system i use a chammy to get most of the water and let the mr. clean do the rest. It really works trust me i have a black car and i cant see a single water spot.

i once just used one of the air thingys.. that u put in the end of ur air hose. (as long as u have a air compressor) it shoots air out with a lot pf pressure and dries the car good.

If you've got one, use a wet vac with the hose cupped in your hand so that it doesn't touch your finish. Follow up with a good spray detailer and a soft towel. Make sure the towel uses cotton tread on its seams. Most towles use nylon seam ends (shop towles too) and you will scratch the paint. The only nylon you want near your car belongs to your wife or girl friend. Never wash a car that is hot and never wash or dry it in the sun. This method only takes a few minutes longer than the other methods mentioned and the vaccum will take car of those pesky little drips from seams you see as you show your pride and joy at your first stop.
