Mr. Clean Magic Eraser

[medic159]

I`m still waiting for the car wash thingie but I did receive a free sample of the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser (http://www.homemadesimple.com/mrclea...r_useage.shtml) It`s a white dense foam pad that you soak in water, wring out, and "erase" dirt and grime from walls, tiles, etc.



I tried the CD test and it scratched a bit and they do say it`s not for use on polished or satin surfaces. They also warn you to try it in inconspicuous places to check for scratching.



I wet it down with Z7 and used it VERY GENTLY on:

- 1/2 my windshield: It cleaned away spots and bug juice effortlessly. The 1/2 I used it on is noticeably clearer and dried without any water spots.

- a chrome rim that had some paint overspray: Took the overspray off after multiple passes when a clay bar could not. It did not scratch the chrome at all.

- Polished aluminum exhaust tips: They are so shiny now I need sunglasses!

- Plastic headlight covers: here I was a bit nervous but it did an excellent job.

- A 1951 license plate that I`m sure hasn`t been cleaned since 1952: it cleaned it right up, took off every bit of grime and antique dirt.



Basically it`s like a clay bar but more aggressive. I can see using this on all parts of your car that are not sensitive to scratching such as painted surfaces. I`d say it if you use clay on areas other than paintwork such as glass this product will do a better job.



All in all this will make a good addition to your detailing kit. I think they are in the supermarkets now and I`m definitely buying some this weekend.

When did you recieve your sample? I put in a request also, but I haven`t heard anything.



Anyway, thanks for the review, it is pretty amazing that the thing works! I remember from the original topic linking to the free sample, people sarcastically wondered what it could be used on...they came up with using it on fruit.

Thanks again,

Kev

I want to use it on my kitty.



I really honestly don`t know what I`d use it on.

Wow..nice review. I haven`t received my free sample yet either.



I am looking to trying it out though...

I also requested the free sample but I was in Target the other day and bought a 4 pack. I tried it around the house, cleaning tiles, bathroom faucets, and to remove an ink mark on a leather sofa. It works pretty well. I`m not sure where I would use it on my car though, yet.......

Can`t use it on polished surfaces, can`t use it on satin surfaces...



Where exactly do they expect you to use it, on your hair?? :p





They might as well put "Not for use on surfaces" on the label.

If you read my original post you`ll see I used it on glass, exhaust, even my headlights with excellent results. I think there are many uses... engine, engine bay, headers, exhaust system, suspension components, wheel wells, etc.



Today I replaced my rear shocks so while the wheels were off I used it on the brake calipers and repainted them, cleaned the inside of my rims, my rear suspension, and the wheel wells. Everything came out sparkling.



I tried using it on my hair but it hurt too much

I`M not saying you can`t use it on those things. It`s THEIR advertising that says not to use it on polished or matte surfaces. Talk about Niche Marketing.



I think they`re just covering their asses so if anyone does any damage they can say "we told you not to do that".
