Its hard to say, I detail cars so its going to be different for me. I also use a pressure washer which is 2.5 gpm. You need to keep the flow below 3 gpm.

When I was using it for wheels, filling my buckets with it, washing the entire car with it, than washing the car again after polishing, I would get ~15 cars done. Thats using a TON of water, you shouldnt be using anywhere near that much to wash one car. Id say at least double that much. Thats with the larger 20" system.

I hate the Mr.Clean auto wash. It worked great the first time, second time it was kinda half-assed, third time it wasn't even working at all. I'm not going to keep paying for those filters every 2 washes.
