Mr. Clean water system

Incase anyone needs one.

My step-son used that on his Camaro, but he is out of town at school, and damn near hard to get a hold of. But when I do, I will let you know.

I didn't find that mr clean to work well. My 04 is the Dark green lariet, brand new filter and all. Left spots all over. I still use it though, I wash it normally by hand and then spray that soap that comes with it on there and rinse and shammy dry, all in the shade. Then the wax goes on.

It's cause you're doing it wrong, you've gotta spray the truck with the soapy water, and then wash. Then rinse with normal water, then once the ENTIRE truck is clean, you go over it all with the filtered water. Make sure you keep the whole truck wet during the washing process, as in spray it all down when you spray off a panel.

Mr. Clean

I personally love the Mr. clean washing system. In my town we have very rough water and my dishwasher always leaves spots on my china..hehhe..But using the Mr. Clean washing system really did wonders for my truck...Yes you have to pre-wash with plain water then use the soap regulator, then hand wash the truck. then switch over to the spotless clean cycle..I usually do the exterior, then let the truck dry while cleaning the interior...

Look what it did to my 01 Screw.

looks great, man. That's pretty much a dream truck for me, especially since it's so perfect paintwise. are those whited-out corners? from the pic, it looks like it, and I like the look. Pretty much, there's nothing about your truck I don't like...

Congrats. You customized your truck to be an Icon of beauty.

I recently purchased the Mr. Clean system for my truck because our water down here is so hard and I really don't have any shade to wash my truck in. If I try to hand dry it the back will get dry before I ever get the chance to dry it and there are spots all over it. With the Mr. Clean system i wash it then rinse and no spots. I wouldn't say it's 100% spot free, but it is very close. If used correctly this is a very good system and has cut my washing time to less than half of what it used to be. I give the Mr. Clean system a big

My dad purchased a whole house water purifier since the chemicals and flouride can be so bad to your health. Anyways I got so excitied that "hey, we can wash our cars now and the water will just run right off!" .... nope, didn't work. Atleast our water tastes good now.

i liked mine for a while, but it didn't take too well to the thicker Megs Gold Class. I bought one of those inline filters from ADS instead. Found it works better and lasts longer than the Mr. Clean filters.

Did you know there is such a thing as an outdoor water softner?

Couple that with some Jet Dry in the wash water, forget about drying. The water just sheets right off.
