I tried the Mr Clean car wash system today.

It's a clay bar used to deep clean the painted surfaces of your bike (or car).

That's the one use. It works surprisingly well and makes all the paint feel smooooooth!

I've had one for years, but quit using the filter. I just use it for the soap dispensing and rinsing features. Much better than a bucket or soap and water, which gets filthy then your washing your vehicle with dirty water.
The spotfree rinse filter is really dependent on how bad your water is to begin with, and only works in the spotfree-rinse mode, not regular rinse. For me it worked ok, but the filters were only good for like 3 washes, and weren't cheap.
Now I take my car up to the self wash, and their spot free rinse is really good. I still do the bike at home though since I prefer to hand detail it after a wash.

Did you put the filter in correctly? I use to use the system all the time and loved it. They stopped making it a year or two ago and I hate washing the bike now. Can't find filters anywhere except for the occasional starter kit good for 2 or 3 washes. Or eBay for ridicules prices.

I've used is for a few years with good results. Of course my denim paint and blacked out parts are pretty forgiving.

I have always had good luck with the Mr Clean car wash system. But I have good water.
If you have hard water or some other problem it won't work as well. Never tried it on the bike. Can't find any wash, filters anywhere. So I guess when I'm out the fun is over.

The starter filter only has three uses. That would only make 2 left. I'm not sure it would even be worth the shipping cost. lol

You can't find it because they don't make it any more. He probably hit on some old stock they were clearing out.
