Thinking bout getting one of these. Do they work? Think i'd probably still towel dry my car afterwards i think. Are the filters expensive and how long do they last?

Using one on the 182. Apart from the a few odd drops of water to wipe there is no need to dry the bodywork at all, bar drying the shuts etc. Even in bright sunlight on black it will dry spot free. Sheet the water off and nothing more than a breif wipe with a soft MF is needed. No need to dry with a Waffle Weave.

Some people are saying a year's use out of one but not had mine that long yet. Using two watering cans full per car (20 litres) which seems the ideal amount on the Clio. Got mine from the above but it was for some reason going into the cart at only £27 quid - wish I had got two now!

Does it just fit on the end of the hose then Rich or how does it work?

In the Summer especially I imaigne that would be great, as even if its not sunny it's still generally hotter and therefore more evaporation.

I always seem to get a dribble of water coming from my rear window.... water just keeps on coming! Can leave a nasty water mark if it's left to dry. This sounds like it would be worth it in the long run...

I think these are excellent if a little expensive. I don't think i'll get much more than 6 months out of it @ about 3 washes a month.

Yeah has connections to attach it to a standard hose, but I just fill a watering can to save using excess.

Yeh that could be good, so much calcium in the water where I live it looks like milk!
