My wife just bought this system for me for my birthday. Does it work well? I am going to try it out tomorrow on the car.

Bike washing tip: DO NOT USE PRESSURE WASHERS! The high pressure allows the water to force itself inside oils seals such as wheel bearings, swingarm pivots, etc, etc.

The Soap & filter are supposed to last 10 washes. I've gotten a good 15 out of a filter just doing the bike.

More specifically, don't use pressure washers if you're blind. If you're not blind, and can see where the sprayer is spraying, and have a three-digit IQ, then go ahead.

Washing a bike takes away valuable riding time.

you guys do know that the mr. clean auto dry stuff has additives in it that are not good for clear coats. Over a long time it can eat your clear coat up.

When mines dirty i just put on the ol grass skirt, visit a farm with an obnoxious chicken or two that they dont like..and do a lil rain dance.

Doesn't always work..but the chickens avoid me.
