mr clean auto-dry wash

I have just finished washing my car. I think it looks a little hazy. This is a new paint job and the first wash. There is no wax on the car, I was told to give it a few weeks to cure. The stuff works not a spot, But... I think I see a little haze. Has anybody noticed this? Maybe I'm just nuts ? Anyone ?

I noticed it too after I washed my car with a new paint job. Did you get the car buffed? Maybe it's something they buffed it with coming off, or maybe you didn't rinse off all the soap. I wasn't too sure myself. It'll come off if you wash it again.

It shouldn't come back after a wax. And you shouldn't wax the car for a few months after paint.

The guy that painted it said to wait three weeks. a few more weeks couldn't hurt. I was just wondering if the slight haze was from the Mr Clean soap. It's the first time I have used this product.

Yeah I've used Mr.Clean before the new paint job and it didn't leave any residue. It must be from the polish or something.

Unfortunately, you can't use Mr.Clean in the sun. It would dry too quickly and spot.

I've never had any issues washing with the Mr Clean system in 90 degree days in the middle of the afternoon. That on a black car too, no spots.....

Okay I tried Mr.Clean again today. Now the damn thing is leaking water from the nozzle and spraying water all over the place. I was never really satisfied with it, now I'm beginning to downright hate it.

OMG the other day i was washing a car with that MR.clean auto dry thing and it realy works!, But the other day i used it, so i put it on my water hose and with it still in my hand i go to turn on the water and then i hear a high pitched sound then BAMM! the fillter exploded and hit my right on my foot!! I gess as it blew up it shot that filter down right on my toe! i was wareing sandels. then the next second i saw the remains of the fillter on my foot, it looked a bunch of sand like stuff all over it. I automaticly thought of a law suite! but then i remember that we have alot of water pressure in our watter lines. So watch out for high watter pressures when using this thing it gave me a bursed toe! it also borke off that plastic cover too!
