Question Mister Clean Wash kit?

Has anyone used this and how did they like the results? Also what is a good way to wash the motor safely?

Thanx

Today I used it the 2nd time since I bought it. I didnt have to break out anything to dry it, and the truck had no water spots after I was done. I'd say it works pretty good, but you have to replace the water filter every 10 washes.

Thanx for the replys fellas.

Can you explain more about using simple green? Any certain way I need to apply it? Where can I buy it?

You might do a search in this forum on this topic. There was a post about the potential problems of continued use of this product.

Well Topsy,

there are just certain things you can't search for in this forum.

"Mr. Clean- The search term you specified (mr) is under the minimum word length (3) and therefore will not be found. Please make this term longer.
If this term contains a wildcard, please make this term more specific."

"Mr Clean - The search term you specified (mr) is under the minimum word length (3) and therefore will not be found. Please make this term longer.

"Mister Clean" - Comes up with nothing pertaing to the search

"Clean" - on this one I will have to sift through 1,00zillion post that had the word clean in it"

catch my drift ?

I think the accusation of this product striping wax is a myth. The also claim in their Q and A that it doesn't. I wax my vehicle or use a protectant spray anyways after every wash.

My husband bought me a Mr. Clean kit last week and I used it for the first time yesterday. I gotta tell you I was very skeptical at first because of some of the things that have been said here in the forums about it but I was truly impressed. The truck dried all by its little lonesome with nary a water spot to be seen even on the windows which are a notorious spot for spots!! Sure cuts the time when you're in a hurry to be clean and on the road! I haven't priced the replacement filters and soap yet could be cost prohibitive. If it's too expensive I think I will use my soap in the thing cuz with the gadget dispensing the soap and rinse water you don't have to deal with a bucket!!

Cool So far, So good!

Used it twice so far and here in my part of Southern California the water is hard as rocks! I usually have to devide my wash to sections of my vehicle to get it dry before the spotting starts. I was running the rinse water slowly on the body and it seemed to help as the water sheeted instead of leaving drops.

I was skeptical also but after watching the rinse water evaporate and no spots left behind, I'm sold on it. I still chase what is left with my soft waffel drying towels but don't really need to. A habbit hard to break.

My 2004 F-150 is Aspen Green, a very DARK green that looks almost black and spotting was a regular thing. Its on 163 inch wheel base and it a lot of body to clean. So far its cut my wash time almost in half.

For Wild-Mtn-Rose

The directions call for using "Their" soap. They say other soap my clog the applicator. I guess you can believe it or not.

I found Mr Clean Soap and filter for a little over $5 each at Target Stores. The soap should go for two to three cycles, the filters less depending on your water quality, etc.

Your mileage may vary!
