    Interesting but looks complicated... plus it's hard to tell how long these products will stick around. I was really surprised when P&G pulled the Mr. Clean stuff, it was so easy to use and very popular. Maybe they just wanted to shift their market focus back to household stuff only?

    Perhaps. This also might encourage more traffic to the "mr clean auto dry car wash" locations.

    "The Clean Water Filter Kit includes everything you need for a one-step, in-line filtration system. Unfiltered water from an outdoor spigot can contain a number of things you wouldn’t knowingly put on your vehicle. Yet, without any type of filtration system, you are washing your vehicle in unclean water."

    ROFL - you can drink it but you can't wash your car with it.

    Actually that's just an under-the-sink unit that has been adapted with garden hose fittings. They've been around for years.

    Put a smiley after you say that Bub.

    Sooooooo....... is it a good idea or bad idea?

    I washed my VX for the first time without the Mr. Clean last summer and it was very Water Spotty.

    It should be just as good as the Mr. Clean.

    You might want to check out PetSmart though. They have one out now for washing yer aminals. Maybe it has the filtration in that one too and it'll do double duty. IIRC it's about 1/2 the cost of the one in the URL.

    In case you don't want your dog to spot? Hey if it stops/slows shedding I'll pick it up on the way home!

    It really does work though.

    As soon as I get it out, the dogs all recognize it & run outside & shed all over the VX & cover all those ooogly water spots with their purdy shededed fur.
