mr. clean car wash kit

My family bought me the mr. clean car wash kit for my b-day. Ive used it twice now and noticed that it leaves a film on the windows. Has anyone else used this and had problems at all? Im not really happy with it.

Screw a shammy, microfiber is the way to go. I will never ever go back.

I've had one for about a year or so and it works well for me. I have a black truck and a black motorcycle. I use regular dish soap in the soap resovior. You have to make sure you rinse down whatever you are washing really well with the filtered water spray (the low presure one) when you are done, as the last thing you do. This rinses off any particulate and leaved filtered water on the surface which dries clean.

Again, works for me. I use it all the time.

Re: Re: mr. clean car wash kit

I have used it. It did leave a film on my wheels. I had to go over all of them to get off but never noticed a film on the pickup itself and mine shows as much dirt, grime and everything else as much as black

I think the filtered (ionized?) water might be ok, but their cleaner leaves a film that becomes a goo when you try to apply any wax product.

two down

Re: mr. clean car wash kit

worked good for me and all....but then over this past winter I left the sprayer on top of my tool box. Well some of the soap leaked out and I picked it up in spring and the paint off of my tool box came up with it. I threw it away that minute.
