Can't get car clean.
I wash my car with Mr. Clean Auto Dry and use one of those mits to scrub with. When I'm done the car still looks dirty. The car is shiny but to me it still seems like I'm still seeing dirt. Any tips on what to do. I need to wax it but I don't want to if there is still dirt there.

You might try using a claybar on it. I've never personally used one, but many people on the boards have said it removes dirt that normal washing won't remove.
I don't know where they are sold, though. I went to AutoZone to look for one and couldn't find anything.

Does it look dirty if you wash it normally, or is it just the mr clean stuff?
Could Use the 3 stage stuff that mcquires makes Step one is a paint cleaner, step 2 is a polish and step3 is the wax, then after that it should be as clean as you can get it with out major work, you could always try wet sand and polish, or like above use a clay bar do a search and you will find several places that sell it but you will not find it at most discount auto places

You have to make sure you wash EVERYWHERE with the mit!
If you have any second thought on if you missed a spot, redo it. Only takes a few seconds. If you have used the filter on Mr. Clean more than 3 times and you just got it you have to replace it with a new one. I have a black honda civic and a dark blue 4 wheeler and aslong as i whipe down everything!!! with the mit i never have to dry them off by hand. Make sure to watch the meter on your filter, if it starts to turn brown replace it.
