I bought some of the Griots spray-on wash. It came with some really plush microfiber towels. I have been testing in on my wife's mustang.

It does a pretty good job. It just rained here this weekend so I'll try it on some real road junk tomorrow.

It could be a good alternative between covert middle of the night illegal washings

did you remove the tag on those towels? if not, you really should. cut it
off and take a pair of tweezers and pull the rest out. that tag swirls the
finish.

the towel itself is very nice. one of my new favorites.

I'm testing out the Griot's Spray-On Wash tomorrow (if it's not raining again). I'm in a crappy situation for hand-washing so I think it's going to make things easier.

the trick to using the sprayon car wash properly is to use a lot of
MF towels. try not to get on the glass too.

then follow up with SprayOn wax.

I am also curious how well the Griots spray on car wash would work. Somehow I've got visions of major swirl marks in the paint, especially if I tried it on an average amount of dirt/scum on my car.

I would post a pic of how dirty my MINI gets in just a week of driving around here, but it's waaaaaaaaaaaay too embarrassing.
