I have a kit in the garage but havent tried it yet. I cleaned the bike on Sat with Pig Snot cleaner and the pressure washer, but it left water spots big time. The mr clean stuff is supposed to prevent that. I know guys that have used it with success.

I bought the Mr. Clean wash set up about 6 months ago after hearing some guys rave about it for cleaning bikes. Have to admit I was skeptical to start, but after using it, I won't wash my ride any other way. Absolutely great product. Just make sure that you use the Mr. Clean soap and replace the filter when it starts to turn brown. I get about 10 - 12 washes out of a filter and twice that out of a bottle of soap.

Hey Homer,

My son bought me a Mr. Clean Carwash last Father's Day and I use it all the time. It really works and you don't have to dry your bike at all. I bought a soft mit to use with it. Here is how I wash my bike.

1. Rinse bike with regular water (setting on carwash ****)
2. Soap up bike really good (setting on carwash ****)
3. Soap up mit really good
4. Turn off water (****) and totally wash bike with mit
5. Rinse off bike with regular water
6. Totally rinse off bike with spot free rinse
7. Go drink a beer and come back and go riding!!

This works awesome. Had problems last year with water spots on my 04 heritage even when I used the car washes no spot rinse or washed it at home. Was skeptical as heck about the mr clean but it really does an excellant job of no water spots and won't be with out one again.

Hmmm, that sounds pretty interesting. Does it clean the stuff out of the little cracks and crevices around the engine? Does it strip the wax off the bike?

I bought mine at WalMart so I would think it would be at most shopping stores such as KMart and others.
