    I purchased the deluxe system last week and used it over the weekend.

    I have to admit I did not follow the directions to final rinse my Ferrari and let it drip dry. Upon finishing the final rinse, with the setting for purified water, I finished my TR off with the leaf blower and a few towels. As a test, I also washed my daily driver and did not touch it after final rinse.

    My daily driver turned out ok, similar to the way it would look after going through the car wash and not drying it off afterwards. I suppose car washs have a filtering system to make their final rinse with purified water as well.

    My Ferrari turned out great. I was concerned the water sitting in the door fins, the rear light grate and other tight areas would take forever to drain out. The handheld 2 cycle leaf blower on full blast removed 98% of the water. I do think that the sheeting action of the Mr. Clean purified water reduced the amount of water on the car by about 70%. Previous washings without the system resulted in larger pools of water on the paint.

    In conclusion I have to say the system works ok alone, but to reach showroom clean status you need to help it along.

    It must work but I'm LOL at the picture of a Testa owner using a leaf blower.
    There's an Aggie joke there somewhere....

    I bought one a few months ago to use on my dark blue Lexus GX 470 and find it works as advertised. I still use the leaf blower to blow the water out of door handles and mirrors but overall it really speeds up things. Thing does eat up soap so you should buy a bunch extra
