Anyone ever use one of these? Are they any good? Safe for use on Buells? I have two that I bought a while back from Woot, but they have been just sitting here.

It is safe but doesn't work as advertised. Still leaves spots.

If you get spots then you need a new filter.

I have one but pretty much only use it for the spot free rinse, especially for the bikes since I use Simple Green for a lot of washing on them.

An Echo leaf blower eliminates the chamois and water spots

+2 on the blower! Just use a Stihl for EXTRA drying power - HA!

I am not allowed to use the leaf blower anymore. Last time I tried to start it, I couldn't get it to start because I don't have the arm strength to pull the cord, so I tried to toss it like a Yo-yo, then the cord broke. (I still need to pick up an electric one sometime)

The other day I hosed off all 4 of my Buell's, it takes too much effort to throughly clean and dry them, hence my wondering about the Autodry. I will have to give it a shot! : )

Never tried it on a bike but on my car the Autodry worked great, it was kinda time consuming though to keep switching the cycles and the handle is a little heavy.
