Mr Clean Spot Free?

Hi All
Have any one try Mr clean Spot free product?
It sound good on the TV but does it really work as it advertised?
Please give some input about this product.
Thanks

Re: Mr Clean Spot Free?

Yes ive tried it once.. and never again..first off it doesnt have much spraying power... 2nd the soap for it isnt that great because it doesnt lather like normal carwash soap does..3rd when u go to spray it off with the filtered water it doesnt have much pressure so ur standing there or 20 mins tryin to spray off the soap and by that time the filter has already been used up...4th it doesnt even dry itself like it does in the commercial! it does dry half way but u do have to use a towel to get most of it off.. its a waste of money, even if it did work great it would still cost too much to wash it because of the soap and the filters u will go through each time

Hate to burst ur bubble but you were using it wrong. You are are supposed to rinse the soap off with the normal hose water(middle setting) and once the soap is off you are supposed to just cover the whole car withe the filtered water and then it will dry by itself.

no once u rinse it off w. the mr clean stuff you dont dry it, you just let is sit. the whole point of the system is that even if you just let the water dry on its own it wont leave spots behind because the water has most of the impurities that cause this removed

mr. clean cleans good, but no better than ur average car wash.. but for now i wash my car normally an use a squeegy(spelling?) and that gets 85% of the water off.. then i use a towel to get the rest off, an that woks out great for me

Nothing out cleans as good as car soap and a wash mitt. If you dont touch it how can it be truly cleaned?

Re: Mr Clean Spot Free?

Then this product should work fine , main ingredient "elbow grease" even the mildest soap or detergent will do a bang up job with that combo , hell if I wash my car with Joy or Sunlight dish soap and wash by hand the cars gonna be clean I dont worry about lathering soap unless im shampooing carpets just as long as I rubed the spot with a wash mitt its gonna be clean. Elbow grease , preffered by detailers #1. I get the plesure of training a newbie in the wash rack soon im gonna hate it!

I bought the Mr. Clean system and lost the receipt or it would have been returned faster than I bought it! I followed the instructions to the letter, and it did exactly as was advertised except for one thing... it left rainbow colored streaks where the water "sheeted" off my truck. My truck is solid black clearcoat. Maybe the streaks would not be noticable on a lighter colored vehicle. They washed off, but the system is of no use to me. I bought a portable water softener and it does a great job. No water spots now!

Using it pretty much cuts your washing/drying time in half, thus, resulting in more car washes because it'll take less time to do. You will go through the soap and filters like crazy. It's not a cheap way of washing your vehicle, but if you can spend the money... yes it's worth it.
