Default Killer 1-day sale on MrClean Carwash systems July 2, 2009

There's a whole system on http://woot.com
Mr.Clean AutoDry Carwash System

Sprayer, starter filter, and soap for 2.99. Shipping is $5 more.

You can buy up to 3 systems; shipping stays at $5. So $13.97 for 3.


I use this from time to time, figured maybe someone else does too. The "Starter Filter" lasts for 3 washes or so, not as long as a full filter; there's more than enough soap for 5 though.

For the price it's a good buy.

Just sharing.

Works well on my buddy's Black Cobalt SS. And he kinda likes the whole "detailing" thing.

Gosh what a great deal!!! I would LOVE that. .... but here in Atlanta...I believe we are still on a water ban and can't wash our cars at home. I don't think that ban will EVER be lifted...too much revenue has been made by it. Hense why Probie stays dirty for so long

Just because it's done at a dealer, doesn't mean it's done right!!!

Default Didnt work for me

I had one of those, paid $40 for the kit and bought countless refills of the soap and filters. It never left a non streak finish. I always had water streaks down the sides of my wifes black Dodge nitro and she was not happy. The filters seemed to run out before the advertised 6 carwashes as well. I never tried it on a light colored car but the whole thing seemed too gimicky and relied upon buying those expensive filters and soap refills. Give me an old bucket and a waterhose and a little shade instead. Id like to hear that someone else had better luck than I did with that system

Cool. It worked well on my friends Black Cobalt. And my blue beetle.

Doesn't matter; That deal's long over now. Have a good day.
