 Car Drying System Dec 22, 2008
By Nicholas Hsieh
As at least one other person has said, this is really a car drying system to replace hand drying. It is not a car wash system to replace hand soaping. The inclusion of the soap spray is really just so P&G can sell you car wash soap. They could have just as easily made this system a final-rinse-only device that you attach to your hose AFTER you wash and rinse the car. Being able to spray soapy water onto your car from the device is meant to be a convenience, but it certainly is not a required step, and all the normal rules of car washing still apply (i.e., wash in sections, do not wash in direct sunlight, keep your sponge clean, etc.). The point is, you still need to wash your car with a wash mitt or sponge and bucket pretty much as you normally would.
The soap they include supposedly helps bead water off the car's surface, helping it to dry more quickly. I didn't find a significant difference between that and regular car wash detergent. If you've used the included soap, have to clean out the device pretty well before using regular detergent as something in the included soap interacts with the regular soap to form sticky polymer deposits that will stick onto your car (they wash off, but it's still a pain) and potentially clog the machine. But once that stuff is cleaned out, regular soap will spray through the device without problem and I still get a spot-free finish.
Having said that, I have successfully used this product for several years and found it to be quite effective at leaving the car spot-free after a car wash. And for less than $20, this product is well worth the savings in hand-drying effort. I do wish it had a higher pressure spray at all settings, though, and the soap fill cap does leak if you do not store the device upright or with the filler hole facing up. Those drawbacks lead to a 4 star rating instead of 5. Nevertheless, a worthwhile product.

 It's about time. Aug 16, 2005
By S. Hall
To those who think that an $18 investment is going to make your car look like it has just been detailed, you will be disappointed. But this product does work and it works well! The best benefit to me is that I can wash (and dry) my car in about 5 minutes. That is worth the price of the consumables to me. I often need just a quick wash before I drive off somewhere. I enjoy waxing my car, as it needs it, but this product is great for quickies. I paid about $10 more for this kit at Walmart. Buy it!

There is a trick to this product Oct 17, 2005
By J. Carl
I am surprised no one has mentioned it and I think it is mentioned in the instructions, but I have found that I get less spots (usually none at all) if the car is left to dry in the shade. Here in Las Vegas, I usually use the system at dusk, and it comes out perfect everytime. If I do it in the sun, I get spots all over the car. This is a wonderful product and it saves me the trip and expense of a car wash.

It delivers Aug 18, 2005
By J. Hickman
I've been using MCAD (Mr. Clean AutoDry) since it first came out. First keep in mind this product is about drying. You still wash the car. And though you use MCAD for washing along with a good mitt, the washing process is still getting you to a hands free dry car. The MCAD process is a substitute for other drying methods. It keeps you from rubbing towels or blades across the finish which can lead to scratches. You could also use a leaf blower to dry your car, but they are noisy and can blow grit at your paint at 200+ MPH.
The only change to the MCAD directions I offer is to keep a bucket of clean water nearby so you can rinse your mitt between washing car sections. This will help remove gritt from the mitt than can scratch your paint. You might even put some car wash soap in the bucket other than Mr. Clean's to reduce the use of their soap and therefore the cost.

Great Product Jun 07, 2005
By B. Snyder
"Mustang GT"
This product works great, you just have to read the instructions. The heavy rinse is not filtered, so if you rinse your car after you soap, you will get spots. We have really hard water, and I washed my black car last night and it dried perfectly, just as advertised. You have to 1. Heavy Rinse; 2. Soap; 3: Light filtered rinse. If it can work on a black car, it can work on anything.
