Car Forum / Ford / Ford Mustang / August 2004Re: AUTODRY
I don't want to beat this subject to death, but after my bad experience with Mr.Clean Autodry, I emailed the company telling them that I found it didn't work and I got an pleasant reply. It seems that my suspicion that this might have something to do with Zaino car polish may be true. In Autodry's response they say: "Silicone-based (Rain-X?) window treatments or high-end car finishes or polishes might also affect Mr. Clean AutoDry's spot-free performance." So, although it may work for others, maybe me using Zaino was the cause. I'll never give up Zaino, so I'm back to the bucket, hose and the chamois.

Interesting. I use Nu-Finish as a polish (was that a collective *gasp* I just heard?), and I get great results with Mr. Clean. I also use Rain-X yet haven't noticed a problem with the windows, but I always retreat the windshield after washing, so I probably wouldn't notice a problem anyway. - Max - ======= In the future, everyone will be hyperlinked for fifteen minutes. http://hometown.aol.com/maxx2112/ Just Say No to 6:5 Blackjack! http://www.cafepress.com/justsaynoto6to5/ >Interesting.

Max, You should use the RainX concentrate or the premixed stuff in your windshield washer reservoir, works great! We've started using it in our fire trucks. In the past, I'd had bad experiences in getting the fire truck windshields clean with Windex type products after RainXing the windshields. But after using the concentrate in my P.O.V. (personal vehicle) for a year I'm a believer again. Most of the time the wipers can take care of it, other times a swipe with the chamois when washing does the job. bill Car: '64.5 Mustang: 260 V8, 3 sp, factory a/c, SVO cam, Performer intake, Holley 390 cfm carb, Pertronix, Hi-Po exhaust manifolds, 1.5" front & 1" rear drop, Jacobs wires, Torq Thrust D's Guns: Colt AR15, Sig P220, Moss. 590A1, Marlin 70P > I'll never give up Zaino Well that was my thinking also but on a recommendation I tried "Diamond Luster" car wax (available on the internet). My car never looked better. It has a great shine and completely eliminates scratches and flaws that no other polish/wax could touch. This is great news but best of all it's VERY EASY to apply. You apply it on a damp cloth and wipe it off while still wet. It leaves no residue, does not contaminate rubber parts, and looks fabulous. My son and I waxed my GT for a car show in 20 minutes. I applied, he dried are we were off to the car show looking great. No more wipe and shine either.. waxing is just as fast and looks better. I used to postpone waxing because it was such a chore. Now I look forward to it because its fast and the results are great. LJH 95GT (former Zaino, Maguire's, Mothers, etc user) Anyone else have any opinions on Zaino? I bought it and have yet to use it. > > I'll never give up Zaino > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > LJH > 95GT (former Zaino, Maguire's, Mothers, etc user) I use it and I love it, I think it looks really great and does last a long time. It really is as good as everyone says that it is. The thing I don't like is that it does take quite a while to wax the car which is OK if you have nothing else to do. I might give that Diamond Luster a try, and see if I can get more driving time and less primping time. Dennis Black 03 GT > Anyone else have any opinions on Zaino?

It gives a pretty decent shine... takes me about 10 minutes for MY car if I hurry.. but it does NOT last long. It'll last a few weeks.. then you can see it fading off. It takes so little time though... gah. I'll try that Diamond Luster stuff... I want something that lasts longer, but is easy to apply. Tired of sore arms applying damn good wax. -Mike -- A happy kid behind the wheel of a 98 Mustang GT Cold air intake FRPP 3.73 gears Steeda Tri-Ax Shifter Full Boar turbo mufflers Hi-speed fan switch 255/60R-15 rear tires > I use it and I love it, I think it looks really great and does last a long > time.

Everyone of my friend I've turned on to Diamond Luster swear by it. Even the Porsche guy that goes so far as to clean the underside of his car with a tooth brush thinks its great.

No birds here (yet), but 3 cats, 2 dogs, 2 turtles, a huge koi, assorted goldfish, betas, and a couple of those dark ugly bottom feeders. Also tons of miniature lizards all over the place all the time (SoFla). 1 son at home (15), and a wife (I know about the time of the month thing). That Siamese of yours is getting up there. Our eldest pooch is about 12 or so. All dogs and cats either came from the pound or they were strays. Turtles were found in the yard. Lawnmower survivors, the biggest is now almost a foot long.

Yea he's obsissive about that car. So much so he never dives if for fear of gettind stone chips in the paint. Not much point in owning it IMO.
