I use Mr. Clean on the car/s, but felt the MH would overwhelm the little bugger.

I wash with Turtle Wax Wash N Wax, rinse, and use a California blade on an extension handle to remove most of the water. I got a nice soft bristle truck brush from the J since I am so vertically-challenged. I then use an Absorber to wipe down the windows and wheels. It takes about one hour to do the rig.

This year I intend to try a pump sprayer with a couple of gallons of distilled water for that final, spot free rinse to see if it works.

I gave up on the Mr. Clean as it couldn't deal with my hard water. I found that I fill the coach's water tank with RO water and by using a addaptor fitting, I am able to use the ouside shower -connected to a garden hose to give the coach a spot free rinse.

I had excellent results using the Mr. Clean spot free rinse, but did NOT use the Mr. Clean soap.

I used a regular car wash soap and the Swobbit, rinsing with plain water, then rinsing with the spot free rinse.

It was quite spot free. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>Same here. It didn't take long to realize that the soap was causing far more problems than the soft rinse was fixing.

If you follow the directions given by "BigRedLancer" above, and do one side of the motorhome at a time, it comes out great. I have even used a power-washer with the Mr. Clean soap and it did a great job. The key to it looking good is to make sure you wash all of the soap off, then with the filter, wash all of the hard water off.

I use the Mr. Clean de-ionize sprayer as a final rinse with Turtle Wax Car Wash in the beginning. Do any of you use soft water as a rinse? I was wondering if that might do the same as the Mr. Clean? I have had real good results with the Mr. Clean, but the spray is so fine it is hard to get the cap and upper parts.

I recently washed the MH with the Mr.Clean kit. I used a soft bristle brush on a long pole to lightly scrub the sides of the coach. I must say, I'm impressed with the spot free rinse, it worked very well and left a nice spot free shine.. The only drawback is see is that I wished the water filter latsted longer.

I use the Mr. Clean only for rinsing after I have washed my coach. I have tried long handled swobs, brushes and the roof is the most difficult to reach across. I came across the Black & Decker Cordless 18-Volt Power Scrubber and it is extendable to 13 feet and now I can wash a large area without moving my ladder around the coach.
