Hot or Not: Mr Clean Auto Dry Car wash

Skyphos · 12-28-2003, 01:40 PM

Anyone tried the new Mr. Clean Auto dry Carwash kit? It claims to give your car a fresh wash which gives you a clear no water spot finish without any need to dry. I am considering picking up one, but I figured i'd ask around and try to get a review or two first. Any help or info is appreciated. Thanks again!

***HAWK*** · 12-28-2003, 01:47 PM

ya i'm for sure going to go pick one up when i can find it! i hate washing the truck here in cali during the summer, it's impossible to wash then hurry and dry before it leaves water spots..

now i just need to find where i can buy it...... haven't found it yet

PaintRush · 12-28-2003, 05:25 PM

I've got two of the "starter kits" and I have to say WOW!

I won them at the Nopi Nats this year in a drawing.

After going over the entire truck, I would say that there are only a few places where water stays, but that alone is freakin awsome. Only minimal drying is needed (nothing is perfect ya know). But it makes washing the truck SOOO much easier and faster.

You can order them from the website I believe but I can't remember the addy, so search around.

chevync · 12-28-2003, 05:35 PM

https://pgmrcleanautodry.inktel.com/pgmrcleanautodry/ thats were you order it, it will be available Feb 2004 in stores..

Futuresweets10 · 12-28-2003, 07:13 PM

The filter idea is neat and I like it, but the whole idea of the soap is just so they can sell their soap

PaintRush · 12-28-2003, 07:43 PM

No, not really. The soap has water softeners in it much like Jet Dry. That's the reason that it's able to dry w/o spots. The water's tension is so low that gravity just pulls it off. If you read the ingredients on the soap and on Jet Dry, the main ingredient in Jet Dry is also in their soap.

I wouldn't have thought to do that myself (using jet dry) but apparently the ppl who wash the car lot's cars a such around me use the same idea to wash the cars so that spots don't stay on the cars.

Star · 12-28-2003, 07:51 PM

maybe this is a stupid question, but whats so bad about an automatic car wash? granted my truck is white and doesnt even show dirt that bad, but ive been nothing but pleased with the results.

PaintRush · 12-28-2003, 07:53 PM

There's nothing really wrong with them, except for the one's with brushes leave tiny scratches and the touchless ones don't always get everything as well as some would want.

For me, washing my car just makes me feel better about owning it. Like I'm takin care of it ya know? haha, I know, sappy, but hell, I love my truck! haha

Star · 12-28-2003, 09:07 PM

No I hear that man, its just hard for me to find the time

PaintRush · 12-28-2003, 09:12 PM

I know exacly what you mean, while I was a senior in HS, I was able to detail my truck weekly. But now since my school has a policy of no washing cars in the dorm parkin lots (plenty of room btw) it doesn't get the same attention anymore.

Star · 12-28-2003, 10:12 PM

Hey quick question, and i realize its off topic but if i post this in a new topic I know I'll just get flamed, but I noticed your truck is a Stepside, and I wondered what that meant. Does it have to do with box length? Whats fleetside mean?

wellsheit · 12-28-2003, 10:23 PM

Stepside means its bed isn't as wide. It has the steps on the sides of the tirewells. Fleetside means the side on the back portion is smooth all the awy back. Here's a pick of mine. Mine is fleetside.

My question about that wash is there anything special with the soap? If there isn't then I'd probly just use the filter to keep from getting spots while im drying it. If the soap is special I wonder if it'd be harsh on my wax. I wax mine often. I believe in keepin it clean as I can.

PaintRush · 12-29-2003, 12:19 AM

Like I said above, the soap has water softeners in it. That's what makes the spots stay away. It's not really much at all to do with the filter (although it does help).

This is the same principle that Jet Dry goes with. When you use Jet Dry, it softens the water (less water tension). That way, the water sheets off the surface of whatever the water is on.

Skyphos · 12-30-2003, 12:45 PM

Cool. We have hard water around here so it has more of a tendancy to dry up quick and leave really white looking spots. It seems like the filter alone would help me, but with the other stuff it should work out good. How often must i buy replacement kits and all that other jive?

PaintRush · 12-30-2003, 01:05 PM

Well for me, it seems the soap (in the small starter bottle) lasts like two good washings.

Skyphos · 12-30-2003, 01:32 PM

Sweet. Lord knows I need that. Especially in the winter.

Skinny · 01-15-2004, 08:35 PM

Try Wal-Mart to find this stuff...the one's down here in Houston are already carrying it.

TurboS10Xtreme · 01-15-2004, 10:32 PM

I got it and its great. Kragen sells it. That is where I got it. Filter lasts 3 washing but the soap is small. I just need to find where to buy refills. Havent seen them yet so I guess just online

AntiRice · 01-15-2004, 10:36 PM

target has it

Chevy Layin Low · 01-15-2004, 11:04 PM

Walmart here has them here too. I got one back before x-mas. Is there a place we can order refills for em?

rainingbullets · 02-02-2004, 11:43 PM

I got that thing for my birthday last week. It worked okay for the first time. It dries pretty quick. I usually don't wash my truck with soap. Also, that soap that comes with it looks strikingly like dish soap. Just an observation. It sucks that the filter can only be used 3 times. That's a waste. I can go through a filter a week.

Skyphos · 02-03-2004, 01:07 AM

Our wal mart got em finally......they sell the soap and refils and all too.

bagndragblazer · 02-03-2004, 01:27 AM

shit i got mine off the internet and alls i have to say is ill never wash my BLACK truck any other way..it dose a great job and you dont even have to dry the chrome or the windows...its a great product.

DrPonziBrinkley · 02-03-2004, 02:52 AM

Never wash your truck with dish soap! It will kill wax and ruin your clearcoat!

dish soap does indeed cut through wax and clean it off.....however, it will NOT harm your clear coat....i washed my car for 2 years with dish shoap.....never hurt the clear coat a bit...

sometimes i wonder where you guys get your info from...

they use really strong soap to counteract the fact they cant actually scrub your truck

if you ever notice odd discoloration on your truck (especially on plastic)
thats whats its from

krazydave · 02-09-2004, 10:21 AM

Just bought this stuff and I am actually fairly impressed with it. Although, it is a little pricey at first, it does save alot of time!
it even helps get rid of those annoying spots that's created by the water coming out of your mirrors after driving.

I wash my truck with dish soap, and it doesnt harm the clear coat at all. Where did you hear that from? I only use dish soap to wash my truck if i'm gonna wax it. Think about the brand name Dawn, their slogan is "Dawn cuts grease". Well if you plan on waxing your vehicle, use dish soap to get rid of the wax thats left on your truck and all the rest of the nasty grime you drive in. It clears the body of almost anything, then just wax. Between waxes i use an Eagle One car wash that keeps the wax on, but still cleans the dirt and grime. My dad owns his own shop and i detail for him when i dont work. I get a lot of different products to use and i'm set with what i do now, but i wanna try that Mr Clean. Only to get my truck outta storage......

Skyphos · 02-09-2004, 11:58 AM

I just got some the other day and as soon as i get a chance im going to give it a trial run. Ill let you guys know my opinions!

Blue2000Xtreme · 02-10-2004, 11:42 PM

Bought the Mr Clean thing on Monday, worked great once i un-froze the hose in the backyard, its a little cumbersome, but it definitely worked!!!

Tyus4 · 02-10-2004, 11:54 PM

seems to be alotta good reviews...might have to go pick one up... how much do they run?

Blue2000Xtreme · 02-12-2004, 12:24 AM

got mine for 20 bones at walmart, bought an extra filter and more soap, go to town

LarryD. · 02-16-2004, 09:44 PM

yeah I picked some up at a walmart too, a little expensive but it does do a really nice job. I usually dry it off but hey if you are in a hurry .... seems it would be great for you colder weather guys and gals too

dropt98chevy · 02-16-2004, 10:20 PM

Dayyyum the first time I saw the commercial I was like ehhhh probably another gimmick like the Ding King but after all these reviews I might just have to go get one.

we have no policy on that at Bowling green state university (YES, tha same Falcons who gave the defending National Chamipion Buckeyes a run for their money down to the last play! maaan BGSU had a lot of national coverage....just wish Josh Harris was around for another year!!!!

). but we have no hose hook ups to reach. man ur luckey to even be fortunete enough to have the ability to 'sneak' in a car wash for free! believe it or not.....bowling green, a town full of hicks, has 4 quarter washes and 1 full automatic!!!! my CIVILIZED town back home only has 1 quarter wash! by civilized i mean no john deers roaming the main streets in town! (also by civilized i mean.....overheating when going downtown....downtown BG is a normal traffic light stop. downtown columbus, oh inbetween the hours of 7am-6pm in a V8ed s10, or any highly modded vehicle for that matter....no chance!!!! unless u like shutting it down and restarting it at every light- and even that doesnt work.

annnnyway...back to this car wash.............im very interested in what the majority of this forum thinks. im a Marketing major.....and if a substantial amount of this forums ENORMOUS membership can vouch for this product...then i think Mr Clean would like to do some promotional advertising with us. free samples for us to help convince us to tell all our car loving-non S-Series members about? i dunno....i may be dumb to think a company with a new ,car specific product entering the market would be interested in how a forum of 15,000+ members thinks about their product. not to mention.....this is a specific make and model forum. now how many of us are friends with only other s10/s15 friends......we are a vast group....car guys t alk to other car guys. if this company were wise...then they'd be very interested in our voice. we just need one highly motivated member to assemble this project. maybe worth while? i dunno

Extreme_Shadow · 02-28-2004, 07:40 PM

Think this stuff has any effect on the wax like dish soap? It was noted ealier that it did look a bit like dish soap, other then that I am going to pick it up will make my life alot easier.

krazydave · 02-29-2004, 10:33 PM

Says right on the box and the FAQ that comes with it "This product will not harm your wax in any way!". So I'm assuming no, I just finished washing my truck for the second time with mine. It's cut my wash time in half! Now I just spend the other hour of my time watching it dry...

The thing has 3 settings, soap, plain water, and filtered...
I've found it definately best to rinse with plain first, then soap (make sure you use plent and get your sponge too!), then use the filtered water. As long as you get all of the soap off, it dries spotless...

I also recommend taking a 1/4" drill bit and drilling a small hole in the bottom of your mirrors at the lowest point, so that the excess water can drain and doesn't end up all over the side of your truck when you drive...

Extreme_Shadow · 03-01-2004, 12:19 AM

I picked mine up the other day. Just currently waiting for my hose to thaw so i can actually use it. Will spring never come?

Thats what the air compressor is for.

sprtslvr785 · 03-02-2004, 01:28 AM

hmmm? ive never seen these things before. what is it a thing that you connect to the end of a hose or something? kinda like those windex outdoor srayer things?

I see people are wondering if the soap will cut the wax off of your car..i have yet to find even a car wash soap that wont remove the wax off of the paint of your car. Because it seems like it wont touch it for about 3 or 4 hand washings but after that its gone. I use the MaGuires Gold Wax and MaGuires Car wash shampoo and conditioner and people say that, it is pretty good stuff. And I really like the stuff but that is the only thing that i can find wrong with it.

rcking85 · 03-05-2004, 02:00 PM

so the idea of jet dry was brought up earlier. if it makes the water softer then can't you just put some jet dry in a miricale grow fertiizer sprayer and have it work the some what the same?? just thinking.....

(also by civilized i mean.....overheating when going downtown....downtown BG is a normal traffic light stop. downtown columbus, oh inbetween the hours of 7am-6pm in a V8ed s10, or any highly modded vehicle for that matter....no chance!!!! unless u like shutting it down and restarting it at every light- and even that doesnt work. annnnyway...back to this car wash.............im very interested in what the majority of this forum thinks. im a Marketing major.....and if a substantial amount of this forums ENORMOUS membership can vouch for this product...then i think Mr Clean would like to do some promotional advertising with us. free samples for us to help convince us to tell all our car loving-non S-Series members about? i dunno....i may be dumb to think a company with a new ,car specific product entering the market would be interested in how a forum of 15,000+ members thinks about their product. not to mention.....this is a specific make and model forum. now how many of us are friends with only other s10/s15 friends......we are a vast group....car guys t alk to other car guys. if this company were wise...then they'd be very interested in our voice. we just need one highly motivated member to assemble this project. maybe worth while? i dunno Last edited by onequickv8s10 : 02-21-2004 at 10:09 AM.
