Hey All!

So I am sure most have you have seen the Dyna-Jet Chamois Wringer on AG or on another site. At $150 its expensive and seems like a useless gimmick (or at least I did). Well I made the plunge and purchased one! I love it! Although there are some huge flaws to it!

So the biggest, and I would say most serious and frustrating flaws to this thing is it does not fit on a 5 Gallon pale! I tried a bunch and no matter how I fussed and forced it, it would not fit, about 1/8" too wide!!

I managed to force it onto a bucket, bending and stretching the bucket into an ellipse shape. One other thing to mention; on a bucket, the force required to crank the handle overcomes the weight of the bucket making it nearly impossible to use (on an empty bucket)!

Frustrated that I just dumped $150 ($170 where I bought it) into a "useless gimmick" that does not fit any bucket. I decided to get creative and wall mount this thing.

So I have a "shelf" (basically wall brackets to hold a bunch of cedar 4x4) and I lag bolted a 2x4 to it. Creating a mounting bracket

So after a little bit of modifying, I got her mounted

So now shes mounted, lets see how she works!

So after wringing out, tons of water came out leaving the towel damp! Kinda hard to see the water, but at least an ounce or two came out! Great for drying wash mitts

So my final thoughts here are:

Pros:
-Works well at removing water
-Does not stress fibres like wringing does
-Fast, about 20 second to walk over and do it
-High quality

Cons:
-Does not attach to bucket
-Expensive

Recommendation:
If you have an area and tools to mount this onto a sturdy platform, you need this product. One of the best detailing investments I have made. Really saves towels, considering I have literally ripped leather chamois and mf towels trying to wring them dry. If you do not, or intend to use this on your wash bucket, do not purchase this product!

Thanks :)

PS heres a good laugh! 80km/h speed limit, some dude having a stroll on the road at -13F or -25C

That same style of wringer was on my grandmother's washing machine. That's how it was done back then before hanging the clothes up to dry. Clothes dryers weren't invented yet.
 
I love the description "Easily attaches to bucket", haha.

Great review man, thanks!
 
I almost bit on this a while back. Then I thought better of it and just stocked up on a lot more towels.
 
They have several of those at every self-serve quarter car wash I have ever been to. They work great. I have always wondered how they keep them from being stolen. So I took a good look at the mounting method and they are welded to the bar they are on over a big sink.

And I wish that it was still a quarter. Last time I used one was after going mud bogging. Must have gotten off fifty pounds of gooey mud. It was worth the five bucks in quarters. After it was "clean" I took the truck home and gave it a real wash. Went through twenty wash MFs and ten ounces of Honeydew Foam soap. Foamed the truck twice.
 
Thanks for the review.

It is possible to buy a brand new old style electric wringer machine for $1000.00

It was actually a guzzler. Over time (two years or so) the fibres got pulled and yanked so much the black trim ripped off and the waffle weave started to come undone where it ripped off, but thanks!
 
For $150 you could buy a large supply of guzzlers. I like the idea of the wringer, but unless I had a high volume shop with many employees using guzzlers or the like, there is no need for the wringer.

I wouldn't feel bad one bit! I'm old school and had a shop in the 20's All we used was this exact wringer with XL Chamois. The trick is baby the chammy. Don't ever let it come in contact with anything. Mak This is what you Just always be very cautious with Chamois just like anything else. Also make sure the car is well rinsed. always keep them mint clean! And you will see how fast you can dry cars as well as save a ton on towels in laundry costs.
