I reviewed it a while back
before the `I should not have pushed that button" incident. Yes the soap has a sheeting chemical in it that is secondary to the filtered water. Im my experience the filters don`t last that long (or my water is 20% mud). After using their soap and filter rinsed the first time, it did come out about 75% spotless. The problem was when I went to use my 4* Platinum UGE - it was almost sticky when I applied it to the paint surface so the Mr.Clean definatley left something behind (probably similar to what is in the final rinse in a touchless carwash with spotfree rinse).
The second time I used it I used a absorber to help speed up the spot free dry time - when I did that the UGE did not get that sticky reaction so I am pretty sure I wiped whatever it was off before it had a chance to dry.
The Nozzel is a pretty cool thing on it`s own and I have used it with non Mr Clean soap (there by voiding my warranty :) ). It makes quick work of washing a car since I no longer need two buckets (I have since returned to the two bucket method though as I like to the through). I don`t think the product is worth the price though if your an enthusiast level detailer. For the weekend warrior who waxes every 6 months then it may be a good buy for time`s sake - but with additional soap and filters costing what they do, you end up paying about 5 bucks a car wash...the touchless carwash in my neighborhood is 5 bucks and I don`t have to do a thing (not that I use it :lol)..so all things being equal I would skip it.

How did it work without their soap? Did it still dry spot free? I use the MrC system and it seems to be working really well. Great for those times I just want a quick wash to get the dirt off. I can wash when I get home from work and in an hour the car is dry. Or take it out around the block and still be relatively spot free. With a dark color car, the less I touch it, the better! :)

How? The filters should last ~ 10 uses (I pushed 4 out of the starter filter until it spotted), and the soap, while it goes quick, should last 5-6 washes per bottle. At $5/filter and $5/soap, I figure it`s around $2/wash. Not too bad for a quickie.
