Hahaha. It just sounds like it takes longer to wash using the MCAD kit. I can wash and dry my car in 10 minutes. I would go nuts waiting for it to drip dry

Steps to clean a car with Mr Clean

1- Rinse the car
2- Rinse the car with soap
3- Remove dirt with a sponge
4- Rinse the car to remove soap
5- Use the filter option to rinse the car with purified water ( this takes a lot of time because the pressure is low and you need to be sure to rinse all the car very slowly )

just to let you know mill i don't like the mr. clean thing i use this ivory hand soap(lol), and then i use a chamois or a "shammy" lol and it may take a little longer but it's SPOTLESS and when it's done it shines like the sun hitting chrome, except there no chrome, neways then i use armor all (however you spell it) tire shine just have to be carefull not to get it on the rims because it get's sticky but yeah it looks awesome... the shammy i bought a 2.25sq ft one and it's big enough... so there's my two cents

I dont know why you guys are having problems with mr clean. It works great on my black car. The only downer for me is the cost of the refill soap and filter.

I'd be careful with that Ivory hand soap. Dishwashing liquids have abrasives in them that can scratch your clearcoat over repeated washes. One thing with the Mr. Clean system is that you must use their soap. It is also formulated for quick drying, not just the PUR filter. I've had my MCAD system for about a year and even though I like using it, I no longer do because the fitment that attaches to the water hose can never get tight enough and water sprays out from there all over me and the car. Plus, you have to set the thing down gently if you ever want to do any scrubbing. No just dropping the hose on the ground. Other than that, I find that it does do a good job washing the vehicle and spot-free rinsing it.

3- Remove dirt with a sponge
Dont even get me startyed on this part why not just take a key to your paint(note i am very biast when it comes to sponges, due to the fact taht dirt can get trapped inside the sponge and be drug all over the paint when washing the car, i know this can happen with clothes too but it is more prone to doing so with a sponge). and one thing to make your car look all shiney is a claybar, yeah that is right claybar. i am getting one with my next paycheque

I'd be careful with claybar if u've never used it before...if u dont use it right ull turn ur paint into "orange peel" it will sorta add a texture to ur car. But if ur car doesnt have overspray or its pretty much smooth..i wouldnt waste the time in claybaring ur car. Ive been workin at a professional detail shop for a while and we use it all the time on the very bottoms of cars where all the dirt slings up from the road....but if u claybar like the upper part of the car there really wont be ne diff....but if u want to go for it....like i said it will only hurt if u dont do it the right way....
