Do I have one? Yes
Do I like it? Sort of
Would I buy it again? No

The device itself works quite well, but buying new filters for it gets very expensive. There is a little window on the refill filter that turns brown when the filter is exhausted. They claim about 10 uses from the filter, but I only got 3 uses from it before it turned brown. I even tried it a 4th time on my mom's car and it left numerous spots on it.

If you wash your car a lot (like me), then stick to regular washing. If you wash, say every few months, then it might be worth it.

The filter life probably depends on your quality of water. I was thinking about giving it a try, it's on sale down at Autozone for like $15, so I figure I might as well give it a try.

Might have to run up to Walmart and give it a try! Its only money right?

what do the fillter run,$$?

We have the MR Clean wash setup and it works pretty darn well. We have very hard water here, so any help in keeping the spots off is great for us.
The filter that comes with the 'startup' kit is only good for 3 washes and then must be replaced. The refill filters are good for around 10 washes.
All in all, pretty good product for us.

its getting completely bashed at www.autopia.org (a detailing site) Lots of people say the soap leaves a film on the car

Just remember: Autopia is above and beyond the clean-nuttiness we are. I like a good looking X, but I am not going to slave over it for days. After a while, you just need to remind yourself it's just a car and it will get old eventually. You're fighting a losing battle - each wax makes it look new, but it won't ever be new again.

That being said, I use the Mr. Clean to rinse my truck only. I wash with Zaino and the no spot rinse works well. I avoid the Mr. Clean stuff. And no, I don't put the Zaino in the unit. I still do the 2 bucket wash...

I love mine. No spots which is nice with the black paint. I dont notice a film on the car afterwards. The new filters runh like 6.99.

I read on a BMW forum yesterday that it actually does work and doesn't leave spots. I think that's great for people who don't want to spend a lot of time washing.

I use it and love it. You still have to wash, it just eliminates the drying, so it basically runs down to what is your time worth. To me it is worth it.

Anyone using it with soft water? And if so, do the filters last longer?
