Can i use a different soap in Mr. Clean Autodry carwash system?

Jul 24, 2009 by surf4u2@ymail.com | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs

I just bought the Mr. Clean Autodry Carwash system and i was wondering, could i use a different soap then what was provided? Say "Ice" car wash?

guess it is worth a try,the only thing that could happen is hard water spots that could be removed with a rinse just after the wash and dry.
It all depends what water is used if distilled no problems.
Some guys stock rain water to avoid water spots.

Does anyone know what the HVAC system is in gas station carwashes? I'm pretty sure it has to do with the operation of the furnace?

Help! My sunroof leaks, is there anyway to fix it or at least stop it myself without taking it to a mechanic?

I bought a 03 dodge neon sxt about a month ago, it hadnt rained until recently, and wouldnt you know, the critter leaks. Now, it seems to have issues with the draining system because when it leaks, the water is coming out around my middle pillars and if enough water gets in (from rain, carwash, a heavy layer of condensation), a small overflow drips from the roof onto my seat. The top of the pillar b4 the plastic will be damp/dripping and most the time my seat belts are wet and water is dripping from where they comes out. This car has also been in a wreck on the passenger side and damage was reported to the front pillar but since it leaks on both sides, I dont think that has to do with it. There is also alot of wind noise from the middle pillar when I drive over 50mph on the driver side. I'm a lil tight on $$$ right now, so is there anyway to fix it myself? (never had a car with a sunroof so i'm not sure what to do). If I did take it to some1 to get it fixed, what would they do?

These drain holes aren't big and obvious, you are looking for small drain holes usually on the corners of the sunroof opening. The major problem is these drains tubes are not made out of metal but rubber or plastic. Therefore using 120 psi compressed air to blow them out is not a good idea. If you dislodge one or more of these tubes you are going to have a serious access problem, like ripping down your head liner to reconnect them. You need a tool called a "gold fish". Electricians use them to run wires through small conduit and you should be able to pick one up at Home Depot or Lowes.

need help asap please!!!!!!?
