I have purchased 2 of these with the same results. The clear plastic solution holder cracked both times after a few uses. If they offered replacement parts or if they were built better would be worth having.
Pros: Easy to Use, Easy to Install, Good Size & Weight
Cons: Not Durable
No, I do not recommend this product.

Review 2 for G-Clean High-Pressure Detergent Injector for Pressure Washers
Overall rating
Total waste of money.
,PostedJuly 27, 2011
The jar started to leak after about 15 minutes and the clamp to hold the jar on is worthless. After rinsing and air drying the jar, the lid would not go back on. This is because the rubber seal/gasket is the wrong size or the gasket became swollen due to exposure the the cleaner (which was the G-Clean mold cleaner).
Overall, very disappointing and a waste of money as I purchased several cleaners to use with the device and the sealer and sealer nozzle. I will never purchase another G-Clean product and recommend that you do not buy any either.

I was hoping this product would give me the same results I get at the "pay carwash". The packaging and graphics are first class. But that's where it ends. I am now returning my 4th unit. They all leak very badly. And worse yet the 2nd and 4th unit blew the front plexiglass right off the injector. Literally scared me to death. It sounded like a shotgun blast. Terrible product. DO NOT waste your time or money.
No, I do not recommend this product.

SAVE YOUR MONEY
,PostedJune 26, 2011
After reading the reviews on this product, I thought maybe they had purchased a bad item. NOT!!
When I opened the box, out fell an o-ring that there is no reference for in the instructions. I emailed the company and made a phone call. They said the o-ring was indeed meant to be installed in the end cap. One of the reasons for asking about the o-ring was because I could tell it was too small for the end cap.
I assembled the product as per instructions, the clip holding the unit onto frame of washer is also a poor design.
I never got soap to actually work, because the cap would never seal, water was shooting out of the cap threads. Until the manufacture can fix some of the problems DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY.

The soap container is cheap and cracks with pressure washer vibration. It would be better if it was brass.

As the other reviewer stated ,, this thing can not handle a gas pressure washers vibration ,, and even then it is hard to get the cap on and off due to the bad design .. the retention clip meant to snap the unit to the washer fails , and the plastic housing cracks ..
I am on my second one and it is going back

I bought this in the store, despite the poor online review. I thought $20, why not. Other stores in my neighborhood had another brand but only available online and I wanted it right away.
The short review is that it's cheap and effective but a little hard to use. Read on for more information:
Seems to work as intended mostly. Will inject detergent into the inlet port of your pressure washer. Two recommendations come to mind after using it a first time.
My first try was with some acidic concrete cleaner. The lid on this little bugger is hard to get on and hard to screw on tight. I slopped some of the cleaner all over my hands, and though it wasn't tragic I'd definitely not choose anything for a detergent that might harm your hands or burn you. I tried three different products in it and found the lid to be hard to get on each time and ended up with product on my hands, so just a word to the wise. I expect it would work much better if I used their special dissolvable soap packets but I couldn't find one for car washing or waxing.
I did have one experience where the unit leaked. I took it apart and found that there were two problems. First, there's a little rubber o-ring that's supposed to go at the top of the clear tube. You have to make sure it's positioned right at the opening of the tube, before the threads or you won't get the lid on. The other problem with the lid itself. It's hard to screw on and hard to know if it's on all the way. I found the best practice was to use a dry rag to grip the lid as I closed it because my hands were covered with concentrated soap, and definitely make sure it's on tight. It seemed to stop at one point while screwing it on but with some more pressure it turned another 3/4 of a turn. Definitely enough to cause a leak.
The screw top lid is also hard to thread on to the detergent container. Be careful not to cross thread it and strip it. That's what you get for buying cheap plastic.
There are other units out there that I haven't tried but probably will just because this one is a bit hard to use. The online reviews suggest that the other methods can cause a slight drop in water pressure at the spray nozzle. I did not notice this to be a problem with this unit. The pressure was great and it ran for a good 20 minutes on one fill of detergent.
One final note, when using the unit, as the detergent gets used it's replaced with water in the container. As you use it, the detergent slowly loses concentration in the container so the soap you get at the start of the cycle will not be as strong as at the end of the cycle...just something to know if you're doing a big job (or you have a really dirty car like me and need strong suds through the whole process).

After all the bad reviews on this product, I was skeptical about trying it. But I thought for the price, it was worth a shot to get "high pressure" detergent. That low pressure syphon process just doesn't work well. I assume the other bad reviews were on the horizontal unit (like the picture) but when I went to home depot to get the G-clean they had the horizontal and the vertical units. It looked to me like the vertical may be an upgraded product, so I got that one. It worked great!! There was no leaking, no cracking of plastic, no cross threading. There were only 2 issues I found that were not awesome. First, the coil hose they supply you with is really stiff and hard to uncoil but wasn't a deal breaker by any means. And second, the disolvable detergent pouches didn't really work well for a quick insert and go. Mine didn't dissolve even after 5 minutes of running the washer. Not a big problem though, I just unscrewed the bottom cup with water and pouch in there, grabbed a pick and poked at the bag a little and screwed it back on and away we went. I thought it applied the soap really well. I was really happy with the product.
Pros: Easy to Use, Easy to Install, Looks Great, Nice Design
Yes, I recommend this product.

Like @JustTryIt, this is a review for the newer "D" version vertical model (as opposed to the older "B" version horizontal model pictured). I too found HomeDepot had both models and purchased the vertical unit.
It performs tolerably well and unlike the reviews of the B model, the D model is pretty well made. Seals are properly sized and the plastic of high enough quality that I did not experience any of the leakage, sealing or thread stripping problems others mentioned for the older unit. It uses a velcro strap to hold the unit to the side of the pressure washer. The strap is decently made and held the unit tightly during the hour the unit was in use, however a better mounting system is needed to adequately hold the unit vertical (see below). As @JustTryIt mentioned, the 18 inch connector hose is stiff and tightly wound, and while it connects securely, it will pull the water unit out of vertical alignment unless you secure the connector hose separately with some straps or ties.
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE UNIT REMAIN VERTICAL. This is because it relies on vacuum to supply the soap. If the unit is pulled to a sideways or horizontal position, the liquid soap will touch the vacuum inlet and get sucked into the stream and supply soap regardless of whether the soap switch is turned on or off. I had this problem at first and nearly rate the unit worse until I realized what was happening and corrected the issue.
Unfortunately, the instructions do not appear to mention this as a possible problem, let alone how to correct it. Combined with a mounting system that is not quite adequate to prevent this problem without additional measures, means I can only give the unit 4 stars. It otherwise performs quite well and I am happy with the purchase.
Pros: Durable, Easy to Install, Good Size & Weight
Cons: must be correctly positioned, inadequate mounting system
Yes, I recommend this product.

I flush my Suzuki outboard engine with the "G-Clean injector" attached to the hose. It works extremely well and provides the optimum service I need to rinse the salt water from my engine, while the soap I use with this, provides a thin, protective film.
