Rate Mr. Clean Car Wash ... and write your review on it!

I'm looking to pick up a good system to wash my car with, and i've been looking at this Mr. Clean Kit, and i was just wondering how many people use it, what they would rate it, and a little review on how good it works and cleans the car.

Thanks Guys!

I give it a 1. Because I'm a rebel.



Actually, it's a decent product. My neighbor uses it, his car always seems pretty damn clean.

I gave it a 10... But only if u mean Mr. Clean Auto Dry... if u do it right and replace the filter often enough...theres nothing better... in my eyes...because im lazy and i have a black car (which means i have to wash it 3 times a day...)

Well when i got it home from the dealer it obviously already been washed, waxed and detailed. I had to go through the touchless the other day because the guys hadn't come yet to turn on my water cause i have an irrigation system installed. They are coming today, so after that ill be all set to wash my car with mr. clean

I think it's gonna rain Sat., so ill have to wait until a nice 5 day forcast.

It works ok. What I mean by "ok" is that you need to use a quality sponge/mitt when washing with it. By itself it will not clean off dirt and grime. The drying process works great in my experience.

it works great
you just gotta make sure you replace the filters when they wear out, or else it looks shitty

if you wanna use your own soap or whatever, just use the autodry function, its worth it, it really is

Yeah...filter is the big thing with it. I mean, I can go about 7 or 8 good washes before having to switch it out, thats my personal experience. But definately use microfiber sponges or mitts....those things are awesome and help alot in getting grime and tar off.

I used Mr clean on my mazda that i had.......personally i dont like the product...but it does dry pretty quick without water spots but the car just doesnt seem clean. Oh well, IMO that product is for lazy ppl. Nothing beats a hand wash. but thats just my opinion.

You still need to hand wash the car, You just use the machine to spray on the soap and for the autodry feature. You can't just spray on the soap and rinse it off
