I might try that with the Flash stuff actually and just use the autodry rinse aspect of it.

At the moment it's a thumbs down from me.

I have the Mr.Clean Auto-Dry system and in the directions with that, it mentions to NOT use other car wash soaps as it will not produce the desired results (no streaking). The soap as it came out of the dispenser was not really "lathery" as you would expect, but it was sudsy enough to do the job with the supplied mitt. (you soap up the car AND the mitt before use) On both of my cars,the results were outstanding. I also noted (yes, the hard way) that you must do as they say in regards to how far away you hold the wand while using the ionized water (the filtered part). They say around 12" or so and if you are farther away than that, the results show it (streaking will occur) Think of using the ionized water part as you would a paint sprayer..going over every square inch of the car in a back and forth motion. Also, as the soap comes out not totally mixed, make sure you rinse EXTRA good or you'll just create more suds and the remaining unrinsed soap will streak like a dog. Once I finally broke down and followed the directions -exactly- then the product worked as advertised. Really!

FWIW,
Randy
