Mr Clean Auto Wash
Does anyone use this thing. I have been, and it actually works. My only concern is that the water does not seem to bead like it used to on the truck. I just waxed it about a month ago. I hope the soap that is used isnt stripping the wax. Any thoughts.

I've had one since they came out. I think that it strips the wax off even though they claim it doesn't. Your cleaning mitt or sponge gets filthy and you can't clean it off. Other than that it works great if I want to wash the truck and go without spending all the time to wipe it down.....

I have one and agree it works. I just figured the water softener in there kept the water from beading. Rain water still beads after I use it, so there's at least some wax still on the truck.

I have one and like it. I don't use the Mr. Clean soap though. The manual says only to use Mr. Clean soap, but the washer does not care what is poured into it. The washer uses a simple educter to get the soap out and into the water. Which means as long as you don't pour anything real thick in there you can use your favorite soap, which for me is Blue Coral. The filtered rinse water is real nice.

Ive used blue coral the last 3 times on my truck.. i have a feeling its stripping wax as the truck keeps looking duller and duller... i think im going to shell out the extra $ for meguiars this time.

I swear by it! My truck is black and my wifes Yukon is black this thing saved me 2 days of washing and drying! I think the soap that comes with it actually has something to do with it drying without spots. After I figure in soap and the filters it cost about as much to wash at home with this as it does to use the pay wash.

I have it and use it only on my bike. Works great, I highly recomend it.
Just follow the instructions and then let it air dry.
Not spots or streaks.
I just bought a refill of the soap.
