They have been flying off the shelf at work. have sold ont to a used
car dealer next door to us, the town Fire Department LOL among many
others and they all say they love it. one of the guys at work bought one
and said it works great.

I'm sure it does work great but its no miracle magic device. Basically
the whole schpeel is that it uses soft (filtered) water - same kind of
deal as a Britta or Pur water filter. - they remove the minerals and
stuff in the water that causes spotting... so you can let your car air
dry VS hand drying to prevent spotting. I suppose if you hook up a
water softener to your gerden hose water supply - that would do pretty
much the same thing. You still have to wash your car as normal. Its not
a spray on spray off type deal. And - according to them - you have to
use their soap refills. But I dont know how true that is. It could be
just your average normal quality car wash detergent (NEVER use dish
soap!) But considering the fact you will have to buy car was soap
regardless - whats it matter if you use theirs or not? Might just cost a
little more. I might just pick one up for the ability to use soft water
for a rinse.
