Wouldn’t be without mine. Saves time as you don’t dry the car, and more importantly means you’re not dragging a cloth across the paintwork.
Current... Silver Grey ///M Roadster, non-flimper spec, Imola Red nappa, permanent ear-to-ear grin 8)

Previous... 3.0Si Sport Roadster, Black Sapphire, Dream Red leather with lots of toys and lots of mods...

It basically cleans tap water - it’s full of a cleaning sand that removes all contaminants. The water that comes out has 0ppm of contaminants when you measure it with a water meter, which means you can rinse off the car, leave it to dry, and you get zero water spots. Tap is attached to one side, your hose to the ‘out’ side. Window cleaners use this sort of thing - and you can use it for that too. The sand does need to be replaced over time, but I only use it for my car, windows very occasionally, and I use a bag of resin a year, which gives about 2.5 fills and costs about £83. For the hassle, time and paint damage it saves it’s very worth it. Especially in Kent where the water is only one layer of sediment above liquid grit...

PVR has two in series. Not sure why, maybe the water that comes out actively eats dirt or something :lol:
