Default Spotless water filter works

I just got 1 from Costco and used it. Does what it states,leaves your car spotless without drying. I use it with an electric pressure washer to cut down on filtered water usage.

Man that thing is a lot more complex than I expected. I thought you meant a little cheap simple one lol. It damn well better work for almost $400 haha.

That kit includes a refill. If you just buy the regular one its $299. It may seem like a lot of money but if you have a business or wash your own car its worth having.

Lol....I have the Mr. Clean autodry thing and it never leaves spots. Even in broad sunlight.

There's no way I'd spend $400 bucks on that. I'd spend the $20 on a shammy and say screw that. Unless the filter lasted like a year there's no way....

Mr clean does the same thing but your paying for it in smaller amounts and your limited in water flow. Anything that gets things done quicker is worth having IMO as long as the results are the same or better. The Cr system is like having tons of the Mr clean unit.

I have the mr clean thing as well and it works great for me and the wifes car. I didn't even know they made something like this. That is pretty sweet though I love not having to towel dry the car!

I need to look into something, but don't wanna spand a whole lot. I spend just as long as drying the car as I do washing it lol. I'd love to just be able to wash it and pull it in the garage to dry. Would probably wash the car more often lol.

You live in Fl and know we have an issue with hard water. Some other membes may not have this issue in there part of town but this stuff works and its big enough where you dont have to get something that often.

If you are just planing to use the included water sprayer its just good to use it to do the final rinse to make it last longer or you can do what I do and use a pressure washer. I was surprised to see how much water I waste using the hose with a sprayer. Most important thing to understand that if you have dust or someone cutting their grass those particles will get on the water and cause water marks.

And purified, filtered water is easier to shammy if you do need to dry it a little bit. The Mr. Clean thing I use is pretty nice. Like venom said it does work, but you just replace more often. But you can get about 10 washes out of a filter so not too shabby. I've used mine for like two years and never had a spot, even in the little spaces.

Yeah the water here sucks. I may just look into that Mr. Clean thing for something cheap to start out with and see how that works.

Yeah the only thing that sucks about the mr clean is that you only get about 8-10 washes with the filtered water before you need to change the filter. The filters are like $6-$7 around here but a local sears had them on sale for $2 each so I stocked up...I think i bought like 10 of them!

CR sells a smaller 10" system also. I have the 20" system and love it.
