I use Meguiar's Gold Class and absolutely love it for the lather and suds it makes. I understand that Meguiar's NXT shampoo is pretty good too and I plan to try some out as well.

How does that no-dry stuff work? Just wipe it on and wash as normal then rinse and not dry? That sounds too good to be true.

the mr. clean auto dry uses a special nozzle for your hose that sprays such a fine mist of water that it dries almost instantly with no water marks. because the mist is so so fine.

Incorrect. It dries clean with no watermarks because there is a water filter in the nozzle. The filter must be changed every 5-10 washes as well, but I think it's worth it for the ease of use.

The best way to rinse your car would be distilled water, no water marks, lol.

Anyway, I've been using Meguiar's Deep Crystal Car Wash for a year, it's not as expensive as the Gold Class, but it smells good and it gets the job done. If you're in Canada Canadiantire is selling it for 1/2 the price right now ($3.99).

Please stop with the comments that are just guesses and not facts....

The Mr.Clean autodry has a water filter in it to remove the minerals in the water that cause water spots and de-ionizes, there is no alcohol involved. When the clean water dries, there is nothing left behind, and thus no spots. It also has a rinse setting (which uses the regular hose water without the filter) and a soap setting (to dispense liquid soap on the car). It works very well and I recommend it to anyone who hates drying their cars with a shammy. It does save time, but costs more because you have to periodically change the water filter in it. I don't use the soap that comes with it though, I like meguiars gold class better. And only Mr. Cleans soap can be used with the Mr. Clean autodry system, so I just use it for the rinse and the filtered water.
It does take a couple minutes to use though, because the filtered water comes out as a fine mist. Still worth it IMO.

Mr. Clean AutoDry Carwash
Took my words. Its the best car cleaning invention IMO in the last 10 years and it makes it easier to clean and dry your car. IMO, the less you have to drag across the paint job, the less chances of scratches. My girl got its first wash with it this weekend after I picked it up and not a spec of water spots anywhere. Just make sure you really go over the vehicle with the filtered spray entirely for best results.

Yes as in their invisible glass stuff or their more shine tire shine. I love STONER products! I got their foaming car wash soap at their online store. I believe you can only order it by the 5 gallon or 55 gallon barrel. I love that stuff!. You'll have to order it online though. I can't find any of their products anywhere else except for their more shine and invisible glass stuff at any autoparts store. I bought my 5 gallon tub at Stoner is your factory direct source for professional detailing products and car wash chemicals & supplies.
