It is almost impossible not to bump into someone selling this kind of
product. It is certainly peddled ubiquitously on the Net. However, I
wouldn't use it. Dust and road dirt is little rocks. If you don't
float this stuff off first with water, when you apply the cleaner you
will grind it into your finish. Most of my cars are acrylic laquer,
which has a fairly deep shine that is easily damaged ("swirled") by
such abrasion. As for saving the water for the arid countries of
the world, why, ah feel reeyul sorry for them, but down heah in
Tennessee we generally have rather more than we need.
