I thought this thing was a joke. I went to the local Pamida and was running through the care care section and I saw the thing. It was on sale for $8. I figured what the heck, if it sucks I just have another water nozzle. So today, I used the thing. I was wrong. As far as just a simple wash, the thing worked very well. We have very hard water and the only waterspots left on my truck were in places where the water slowly drips out. I had a few spots below the tailgate handle and below the mirrors. I would reccomend this thing to anyone. It does use a lot of soap but as far as a cold water wash it does a nice job. Obviously you need a sponge or brush but I have yet to find anything that doesn't require one of those. I waxed the truck too so believe me, it was thoroughly inspected.

ya I was surprised how well that thing actually works. You do need to have a fairly fresh filter thing in it though for it to "dry" without the water spots....makes washing a truck alot faster though b.c of the lack of drying time.

My brother got me one last fall, unfortunately it does not appear Mr. Clean is making them anymore, as I don't see them on the site anymore.

I have had one for a few years and love it. I usually just use the soap in a bucket though. The real "magic" is in the soap. Plenty of suds will leave you spot free.

I wouldn't of spent the money on one but I got it as a gift years ago...I use it all the time and it will leave my vehicles absolutely spot free...after rinsing I can just walk away from it even in direct sunlight and it will dry perfectly... :uhoh:

Got mine on clearance at BigLots and use Turtle Wax Zip Car Wash in it. Works as advertised.

They discontinued it in Jan 09. Even the consumables are discontinued.

 

 

Damn! Those things really worked!

 

 

I really do not understand why they would stop the consumables portion of it. Hell, they could have just outsourced it if they did not want to manufacture them anymore.

They worked ok, the issue I had was the filter needed replacing quite often due to water quality

Actually the "real magic" is in the filter. I wash my truck normally and rinse, but do my final rinsing with the Mr. Clean. Always spotless. It filters most of the "hardness" leaving a spot free finish. Can't find any replacement cartidges anymore, however, just yesterday while painfully shopping at the Christmas Tree Shop in South Portland with the wife I saw a whole shelf full of the complete kits for only $3.99.
