The only advantage I see with this is the deionised water or what ever it is, which is just incase you are too lazy to leather off your car. Which takes two minutes (or 1/2 hour if you do it properly!) after using a hydra-flexy blade.
And at 20 quid it's just an expensive fad. I was tempted till I read the box....
Anymore opinions? Anyone actually tried it, and want to change my mind?

One more comment....
I don't think this will be used by proper enthusiasts....
However, I think that any product on the market which gets people to look after their cars more regularly is good. There might be less sheds on the secondhand market in a few years.

rubbish, mine looks like a right chav wagon when its dirty. Wheels look smaller, and people just think its another old car.
Its all very well enjoying them but a clean shiny car looks the business.
People take the time to look and i enjoy it even more then!

Could be useful in the summer for when the Super Soaker runs outta water...
Would buy a pack of 3 sponges for 49p instead for washing the car though

I wash and polish my motor so it looks nice.
Then I take it out and drive it harder than most people would and drift it all over the shop.
I agree with Wyldie, a clean car looks much nicer, and wheels look bigger clean than dirty.

It looks like it's been washed then driven through dirty puddles!
I'd prefer it clean.
I like dirty women, not as a g/f but you know what I mean.

I can see what you mean....
But I use my car properly, but also like to give it a good clean.

yeh true , i think most people own a certain type of car becuase they like the way it drives, so buy it to drive it, but then there is nothing wrong in keeping it that way by keeping it clean, so preventing rust and paint fading.
I know what you mean about a car should be driven but i think it doesn't apply to most people who use the cars regularly, that would more apply to people who build them all year round, and then trailer them around every where? now whats the point of that?

I like to keep my car clean...but I also like to drive the car properly too (as you may remember from the last welsh meet
).
But, the M3 is my hobby, cars are my hobby, I've got a Pug 309 and the touring to drive around every day and get dirty.

Central locking didn't you know!!
This is my 5th 309, I always end up buying one when I need a runaround as I can't fault them apart from the usual poor build quality they are sooo cheap!
