I just purchased the mr. clean auto wash thingy from walmart and i am wondering what everyones take is on it i have the TCM xB and just wondering what anyone thinks....Is there any special tricks i should know for a better wash?

 

Yea, return it and do it by hand.

 

i dunno.. havent used one.. .so not sure of all the features of it... but hear the filter part is helpfull in taking out lots of stuff from the water...minerals and stuff.... leaving less spots or other possible contaminets off your car...

thats just what i've heard tho..

It works great!! Just be sure to change the filter when it is old. Do a search there have been a couple of threads about this.

 

Works great! One of the best things you can use to wash your car.

 

I use it. It works fine for me.

 

It works good, it does not complete dry by itself though so bring a towel or two. Having the soap at the flick of a switch is nice.
replace the filter when it shows spots

 

yea that thing is aweomse. if you look in car care/maintaince there are a few threads about it.

 

I just use the wash myself, do the rest by hand... use the mr. clean auto dry mix, then bam.. done..

 

Read and follow label directions! Clear water rinse to get the soap off before the final rinse helps. Do the final rinse like you're applying paint with a little overlap so it sheets well . . . . .

 

I do, I always have trouble with the hood. I still like it though. Everything else drys nicely

 

Man I hated that thing, lots of nasty white streaks that I had to wax to get off. I have a well and hard water so that might add to the problem, but for me it was junk. By the way, if I clean it the old fashioned way and towel dry, no streaks.

 

Not bad. The soap built-in is nice. The filter cuts down on spots, but not completely so I'd still towel it off.

 

if you have even remotely hard water do not even try unless you like buying a new 6 dollar filter every time you wash your car.

 

I had good luck with it. I really only used it so I didn't have to dry. No spots here, and I never hand-dried when I had it.

 

The reason I bought it was because the first time I washed my box I hand dried it like I did with my old car and there were water spots everywhere. I don't have that problem with the Mr. Clean kit.

 

I've used Mr. Clean for over a year. You reduce hand drying for about 95% of the car. The water sheets off when use with combination of the filter and their soap. I recommend dumping the soap in the bucket and sponging the car the old fashion way. I usually use a hose and a different kind of sponge for the lower half of the car. Then hose off and use the filter mode. Water should dance off the car leaving it spotless.

 

Its a great product. Sometimes I hand wash and just use the filtered water to cut down on the spots.
