I tried using a garden sprayer for putting distilled water on my MCS after washing it, in an experiment aimed at finding a low-labor spot-free drying method.

The problem is there's just not enough flow available. It would take a long time (and several refills) to deliver enough water to the surface to wash off the soap. I think you really need a fairly strong stream of water to do an effective car wash.

I think if I were in your situation, I'd take it to a self-service car wash bringing along all the cleaning paraphernalia, including plenty of microfiber towels. I'd go at some off-peak hour where I could take my time...

btw, my experiment was an utter failure! Because I was unable to fully displace the rinse water (from washing the car) with the distilled water, I had water spots everywhere!
