I read a post a while back on here that said after washing, rinse your truck with the full stream from the hose and not the sprayer, and it will dry with less or no spots. I figured ya right. I did this yesterday and it really worked. Try it. Red

 

The Mr. Clean AutoDry Car Wash System really works well and I love it ... especially on a black vehicle. The unit filters out the water and leaves no water spots at all.

 

ya just let the natural pressure from the hose gently rinse off your truck....i wouldnt use mr clean mainly because i dry it with a combo of a silicone blade and chameo and then im going to either 1-wax it anyway or 2-atleast use detail spray anyway so the extra $ spent on mr clean wouldnt do anything for me....but maybe it will for u

 

What do you use for your detail spray? Does it just add extra shine? Please explain!

 

Ok
I had a Mr Clean and I liked it, but filter replacement went to fast here because we must have extra hard water. LoL
I mean like 1 maybe 2 times and filter was dark brown.

So late one night I thought to myself "Self I said" I wonder ifwe could come up with a better way? And me myself and I thought real hard. I fell asleep but me and myself stayed up for a bit longer and came up with this idea,and it actually worked.

Went to Lowes bought a Whole House Filter system with the big ends that fit a standard garden hose for $15 (upgraded to the better micron carbonreplacement filter $5) made a short section of hose out of an old garden hose ($2 in hose clamps and hose ends hardware) got a nice Spray nozzle $5, andbolted it all to a piece of wood frame (PVC could prolly work as a frame and look much cooler). This systemlast for a bout 30 to 35 washes andreplacement filters are about $5, cool. Also you still need to use a good wash detergent like the Mr Clean stuff (but if you look around you can find alternatives like Kit). Ahh but you still gotta use the Bucket, Rag and Elbo method. Hehe

Under $35 and it works pretty darn good.

 

wow pappy very innovative and red is right that works wonders especially for a black truck

 

below is a pic....this stuff is really great for in between waxes, but even if you know your wax is gone and dont have time to wax your truck, go ahead and use it, it will look like the truck has been freshly waxed....there are other sprays, but i have had the best results with this...spray on, wipe off...that simple

and no, it is not a replacement for waxing, its just a touch up or inbetween or i dont have time to wax but want to look good ect.....takes out water spots like a mother fer

I am a big fan of the Meguires Quick Detailer... I still wash my truck roughly once a week but I use the detailer spray after the truck dries to remove all the water spots. I also use it to wash off bird **** before it can damage the paint. I use it when I just detailed my truck and want to keep it nice for a few days and not flinch when I drive through a little water on the road. Also great to take the pollen off this time of year. Use it with the Meguire Microfiber towels, best quality. I used to use the Mr Clean religiously, but got tired of replacing filters and such, and still get occasional bad washes where there are lots of spots. This method just works better. Damn... imagine how many toys we all could buy for our trucks if we got paid for all the advertising we do for these companies.
Also check out the guide to detailing under the detailing forum... awesome info... lots of info... thought I knew a lot... found out a lot of tricks.

 

I got the "permawax" something like that finish to my truck. I wash then I let my truck dry all by itself. Waterspots, if any, who cares it's a truck.

 

I guess I am odd. I see something wet and I dry it
