Default Mr. Clean Autodry Soap

Has anyone tried other soap? I dont want to always be buying their tiny bottles when it sucks it down so quickly. They say anything else will clog the gun though. Any insight? Thanks

good question... we have reviewed mr. clean here several times-
conclusion seemed to be that the filters were nice, but the soap nothing special. my recollection is that folks had good experience with other car shampoos-
someone who has tried this will let us know!

Personally I like the soap that came with the autodry. It smells pretty good. But I dont want to risk clogging the sprayer. If someone has some balls and doesnt mind clogging their sprayer, try it out and let us know. I'm curious--but the pamphlet in the kit says if you get it clogged, then they'll tell you how to unclog it when you call them. Or at least I think I remember reading that.

yeah, im not saying the soap is bad. Its just such a small bottle and the gun sucks it up so quickly I want to be able to get a better value soap. I may try it out soon if no one else has. Thanks

Well...I make the mistake of mixing Mequiar's Gold class car wash soap with the Autodry soap. The combo turned into a big, sticky mess and pretty much destroyed my Mr. Clean. It also make a mess on my gf car. Took about 1 hour of cleaning with a citrus clean to get the crap off her car.

Actually when you buy the refill the bottle it's like 3x bigger. So you don't have to worry about the amount. I tried another car wash soap in the unit and it didn't work as well.

I use my P21S shampoo in my Mr Clean and it works perfectly. Although it does go through it very fast.
