There's a huge thread on this. Try a search for it...

I think the conclusions were:
- some people really like it -- it works as advertised
- some found it left a film of stuff on the car
- some found it uses the cartidges too fast. hence expensive
- some found it doesn't work as advertised

It Helped

It removed 95% of the water on first use. So I'm happy. It removed 10% of the water on the motorcycle (GoldWing) which has the same finish (Zanio Brothers) whixh makes it in effective for uses on the motorcycle.

It uses an RO filter. I work for a Volvo dealership and we have a carwash with a reverse ozmosis filter and it works amazingly well. I am sure that the Mr. Clean is just a smaller version of that.

Speaking of Volvo....they make me park my TSX in the back of the B lot Haters

I think the local VW dealership is the only dealer around here where employees actually drive what they sell. Their employee lot is 95% VWs. Kind of odd, considering how unreliable the cars are.

I had heard nothing but positives about it, so I went and bought it. It didnt work at all for me, I tried several times, even using new filters. Only conclusions I can draw are either that: A- the s@!t dont work, or B- the well water at my shop is just not clean enough for the filter to really have its effect. By the way, I dont drink the water so that might tell you something.

It leaves a sticky film on my paint. After a day, dust settles on my car and coagulates with the sticky film--bad news! Skip Mr. Clean. Instead, clay and NXT.

Mr. Clean is alright, I have been using it for the past few weeks and it leaves a nice shine on my tsx. I don't know about how expensive it is going to add up to be because I haven't bought extra soap or filters yet.

$5 for filters = 10 washes
$5 for soap = 10 washes

$1/wash for ingrdients.

Left a film on my car that was very noticable in the sunlight and I foloowed the directions to a T.

I used the Mr Clean today. I parked it in my garage and will see how it looks in the morning after completely dry. I also picked up some rainX and will see how that works.
