works decent because the rinse water is filtered. so you have no Ca+ and Mg+ (hard water basically) to dry and give you spots it's good for the water, cuts wash time down. for the summer, I would just do a real wash and detail. for $3 you can't really go wrong though
So that's what makes hard water? I have spots on the windows that refuse to come off and are a stubborn pain.
yes. calcium and magnesium ions in the water. not sure what type of filter they use, but large scale softening of water uses a zeolite system to exchange the offending ions with Na+, much like a resin exchange system. <-- ex-water chemistry guy for submarines
My dad used it for awhile and thought it was decent. It surely wouldn't suffice for the anal retentiveness of many on this site though.
Really depends what county you are in...and I have seen it vary over the years. Just get a leaf blower and hit the car when you are done washing it
I just bought one thanks! I usually check woot before I leave for work in the morning, but I didn't have a chance. Thanks for the post.
Woot has become an everyday thing for me. First thing I do when I get to work in the morning is log into WRXatlanta and read through what happened last night. Then once I have gone through WRXatlanta, I go to Woot and see what their item is and also check out the T-Shirts. Then if I still want to do some bargain hunting I go to ecost.com and check out their bargain countdown. After my bargain hunting is done for the day, I actually do some work, sometimes.
never used it but Mr Clean has to be doing something right..they just bought Carnetts...Not that I use them either...so disregard this post. =)
hahaha! my water is so hard, i'm still replacing plastic plumbing after 10 years living here and a softener. ymmv. but like everyone else said, this is worth it because of the clean rinse. Less water spots means easier to dry, less work when waxing/polishing, etc.
tons of iron in the water up there. just look at the side of any building with a sprinkler system. down here (savannah) there is high sulfur content, the sides of buildings are all yellow
if you live where they pull water out of lake allatoona, the water is great. that's why AB decided to build a brewery here
I had one it works great just be sure to change whatever softens the water or there will be spots but then again I air dried.
my friend bought two from/through woot, he said it was all right for the money so i might get one from him
