I haven't used it but would give it a go I think. Would only be interested in the ionised water feature as my water here in Portsmouth leaves really horrible chalky residue and would be nice to be filter it before it goes on my car. Probably wouldn't bother with the shampoo. I'm a devote Meguiars user!

FYI it looks identical to the Mr. Clean Autodry product that has been discussed here in the forums, which is sold in North America. So in the UK, it's probably sold as Flash.

Do a search in the forums for the Mr. Clean product, you will find all the feedback you need!

[whovous]

Yup, absolutely identical to Mr Clean.

Ah the joys of soft water

[J1JPE]

looked an' gold ol' P&G it is in the US .....

How much does the Mr Clean unit retail for in the US ?

it's £19.99 in Halfords http://www.halfords.com/opd_product_...&type=0&cat=53

not sure how many washes you get for that nor cost of the shampoo etc after

It works, it was on Halfords shelfs for about 10 seconds before I bought one. I'll have to
see what the costs turn out like, if it is high I'll just use it in the winter to save my poor
little hands from frostbite.

Do you get a mop + bucket ass well,don't fancy standing on me roof, what will the neighbors think.

[mini min]

it is brill does a excellent job the cleaning stuff you get with the kit does about 3-4 washes and the refills are about £5.00 and lasts about 10 washes

[whovous]

It usually sells for $19.99 in the US. It could be found for as low as $12.99 with coupons when it first came out. After Christmas, Target sold gift boxes with some extra goodies for about $5, to those lucky enough to spot em (not me, sadly)

Ok I've been very interested in getting this, especially with Sunday's run coming up and I wanna **sparkle sparkle**! But how much is it?

[snuffy]

it's on special at the moment for £19.99 rising to £29.99 at the end of the month. However, the bottles of ionisers etc are about £4 each so you'll end up forking out quite a lot over a period of time.

With the impending hose pipe bans coming up I'm not sure whether to get one :/

I agree that its very good.My wife bought it for me for my Birthday,i was a little sceptical but i was pleasantly suprised.I would still clean the cars with my Meguiars stuff to do it properly but as an inbetween clean i think its great.It says that you need to change the de ionising filter after three uses but is that just a marketing ploy? a bit like with shampoo 'rinse and repeat'.I will monitor how effective it is and decide when to change based on whether or not i'm getting marks and streaks.

Just been to the website to read up more about it.....definitely a worth while investment I feel....but I worry that they will eventually stop doing the water filter replacments and all I'd have is a nozzle on the end of a hose pipe
