The problem only occurs when you mix the Mr. Clean soap with another.

It's some sort of Mr. Clean soap conspiracy. They put something in their soap that causes it to react with other soaps. I tried putting hot water in it and running all the goopy crap out but failed miserably. Apparently thei soap conspiracy is doubled up on me as they knew I had the Zaino wash so they put some stuff in their soap that would guarantee my Mr Clean washer would never work again. That's what happens when you trust a bald guy with an earring.

I'll admit I made this mistake also, but I washed mine out by filling the soap container up with hot water and spraying it till all the soap was out. Too easy.
The mistake I didn't make was paying $60 to clean the crap off, because a simple wash did it for me.
Simple wash didn't do it for me. I washed mine in the shade, and I didn't really notice the mess until I was almost finished spraying the junk all over everything (tires, wheels, rubber trim, windows and paint). The junk stuck like cement. The sprayer even got stuck to my hands (wtf?). Rewashing it with a strong Blue Coral mixture (with a new mit that I went and bought at the parts store) did nothing but smear the goo into a bigger nightmare. I could have tried hotter water, I guess, but I thought it was time to quit while I was behind and let a detail shop take over.

Reading this for some reason made me think of American Pie II when the guy got the porno tape stuck to his hand. I can just see some guy running around in his front yard screaming and shaking is hand trying to get the washer off of it.

To clean the goo off, did you try Dawn Dish detergent? Pros use it to remove wax coatings before detailing cars.
