Well that's easy to deal with (and good to know!) - use a regular car wash when you're ready to wax. I just picked up the Mr. Clean as well; I'll use Meguiar's just before waxing.

If you go to the website for the Mr clean. You can print a $5 off coupon! http://www.homemadesimple.com/mrclea...ry/index.shtml
Whew, thanks for the info. EVeryone had me worried. I have a friend who paints cars and I thought that OEM was a different process.

Appreciate your comments, but it's not as much hand effort - yes I'm lazy - the soap is in the gun, no more bucket and dipping in and slopping a rag around. All in one kinda deal. More time for cursin'

Me too ! It's THERAPY! However there are days when I just don't have the time to do a "proper" wash , so I may give it a try.

You still have to wipe the car down after you apply the soap.

One pressing question regarding the Mr Clean process, has anyone noticed any problems with it attacking the adhesive on the flames and graphics. Would hate to get excited about it and find my graphics being attacked and starting to peel off.
