Who's used it and do you like it? Does it really work like it says it does? Does it leave any water stains? Is it enough water pressure to not have to scrub?

You still have to wash the car by hand, it does not magically clean the car just by spraying it down. All it does is spray on the Mr. Clean car wash that contains a sheeting chemical similar to what if found in dish washing machine no spot chemical additives, this does not allow the water to bead, then you wash the car by hand as normal, be advised that the Mr. Clean car wash does not suds so that is strange. Then you turn the knob on the unit to final rinse (this is the ONLY time you use the filter water, the rest of the time it is normal water from the hose) and this stage is a very weak slow flow of filter water, just barely hard enough to rinse off the car. Most people will have to wash off the soap using full strength stream of unfiltered water and then after the soap is gone use the final spot free cycle.

The unit does not magnify the water pressure, you only have the same pressure as out of your hose....

I'm not sure that I will buy it, what does it do to the wax on the car?

I don't want to spend the day waxing my car to find this stuff is bad for it!


Has anyone herd anything about that?

Some have said the Mr. clean wash leaves a bad film on your wax job, at best I think the unit is for the quicky car wash people, extreme detailers like myself would probably have little use for it...

Thanks, this is what I was wondering.

I love to wash and clean my car, but I do hate the drying.

Maybe I'll buy one and try it on the wifes Aztek first.

Im not too crazy about the soap that comes with it,the rinse cycle is very low pressure, but I like not having water spots

It took me longer to wash the car with the mr clean thingy then it normally does. The "rinse" water has such low pressure that it barely gets the soap off. Couple that with the prices of the unit, replacement cartridges (that are only good for 10 car washes) and having to use there "Special" soap and its just not worth the money. For What its worth, you probably would get the same results just by using their soap, like the post above it seems to have some kind of "Sheating" agent in it.
I returned mine and am going back to the basics.

Didn't even think about filter replacements. And you have to buy their soap...

Nothing beats using KevinSS towels for drying. I've been using them for 2 full years, still in great shape.
