So, umm... it blows soapy water, then normal water to rince, and finally demineralised/ionised water to get rid of any water that might still contain soap, minerals and chalk from the water supply.

We have washes like this in Geneva. Very popular. I use them all the time, and using demineralised water at the end is a god send. You get to totally get rid of the soapy water and all that is left is pure H2O which evaporates away as you drive.

HOWEVER ! If there is pollen or dust in the air, the car WILL get dirty while a few droplets of the demineralised water is still resting on the hood of the car. You need to quickly take your ride down to the highway for some 80mph action for 5 minutes in order to get all that water to dribble away, then you're finally left with a clean car (unless the highway is full of bugs that splatter on to your windshield...).

I personally suggest taking a cotton towel and removing all excess water. Then take a quick drive to let the rest of the water evaporate away.

I am, have always been, and will always be a believer in the principle that

WHAT YOU GET OUT OF SOMETHING IS DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL TO THE EFFORT YOU PUT INTO IT

So, all these "easy", "time saving", "miracle" products are just, in my opinion, a bunch of crap. There is NO substitute for taking the time, putting forth the effort, and using the time tested and proven methods to get the best overall results possible.

Nothing like home-made applie pie, eh [;)]

You can always use tools that 'help' achieve your goal tho'. I wouldn't wanna screw in a screw with my finger nails. I'd rather use a screw driver. If it's an electric one, even better. Dontcha think [;)]

I agree with Shin,
it isnt necessarily a time saving thing. I have one and use it at least once a week. I LOVE IT. it utilizes a filtered atomized water to help rid the car of any minerals and water beads. It truly works, as i said i love it.
I rinse mine, use the soap application and then hand rub. Rinse again and then finally use the filtered atomization. It isnt the fact that you dont have o dry the car (although it is really nice!) it is the fact of the filtering.

That sounds too much like TV commercial targeted for soccer mom who skipped high school.
