You Guys are killing me with your 4 hr details and muddy roads.

Just started the third month of restrictive water usage. No outside water usage

Local car wash is it.

Wha..hoo!!

I'm in the same boat and have been using Griot's Waterless Car Wash with great results. You need a ton of microfiber towels but the results are quite good.

I take the wife's MDX to the $4 carwash on Kirby and they are fantastic. I'm just afraid of tearing up a rim on the guide rails with the Z.

Default Why yes!

If you take your car to a traditional Nylon Brush car wash, your car will in fact come out the other end as a caricature of its former self! Someone give KenChan & Alchemy a pretzel rod, and a balloon!

This stuff will be useful in the winter here in the mid-atlantic when I have all the hoses shut off to prevent the pipes from freezing!

Oops, replied before going to the end of the thread, but at least I've got some back-up!

Any reviews on this stuff? A good carwash without using and wasting a lot of water sounds like a good deal.
