Nope not tried it. But I too am wondering if anyone has tried it yet. I have considered getting it & trying it out on my mom's 03 Ranger of my grandpa's 98 Contour. If I do I will let you know.

Is there anyone out there that can give us any advice about using or not using this product? It would be much appraciated.

I bought some the other day after spending an entire day washing, waxing, and detailing mine by hand. I figured if I can do it one good one every so often the armor all would suffice in between my "extreme cleans." But I am a bit obsessive about cleaning it.

Anyway, it is definitely a time saver, which was what I wanted. You don't even need a bucket and the end result is not bad at all. It's actually probably alot better than I give it credit for since I am a little obsessed when it comes to cleaning. For the average driver it's probably perfect.

I have not used the wax-as-you-dry gel yet, as I didn't need it b/c I had already waxed the car. But the wash gel is great; squirts right on and ya don't even need a bucket. Cut down the time it takes to wash the car by more than half in my case. I'd reccommend it along with a really good wash and wax by hand every few months or so. I'll report back when I have used the wax.

I have them, got the set from Walmart. The wash is great, but the wax/dry is a time saver! It works just as easy as it shows on the commercial. Make sure you dont put much on your applicator, and you should be happy with the results!

I was kind of disappointed with the wash gel, but I love the Wax-it-Dry kit. You can see it work before your eyes.....well I guess that goes without saying since you are looking at the car.

It's kind of awkward at first, because there is a gritiness when waxing, but that's the wax sticking to the paint. The bottle says no heavy buffing, but to do it right, I buffed for like 30 mins...maybe more. I was searching for perfection.

When using the wash gel, I used a backet.....it might have diluted it too much. I might need to give it a second chance.

Yeah, definitey try without the bucket, its made to be applied directly to the wet car. You might be a lot more satisfied with the results.

Ive used it alot with my Stang.
The Wash is good as a wash can be I suppose. It is easy to use and does a good job.
The Wax is easy to apply and a good idea but doesnt hold up long to the elements.
They could improve on that aspect.
Overall I would give the system 7 out of 10.
