Also, have you ever done a basic polish with hand pads? That is a nice way to get rid of oxy, and you can do the entire car in 15 mins.
I haven't Sid, but just might try that. At least I know in a pinch, that the wash next to Mobil does a good job w/ no harm in a pinch! You know the one in town, correct?

I like Pinnacle Liquid Crystal Waterless Wash Concentrate with Carnauba. Very high lubricity, cleans well and leaves a nice shiny finish.

The point of the Meg's is that there is no bucket to deal with. Nothing. Just a spray bottle.

Yeah, there's never a problem until there's a problem. Then you are generally screwed. I use detail spray and microfiber towels on all of my cars. If they get really dirty, bug-ladder, I go to one of those coin car wash places where you spray them down yourself to get rid of all of the surface junk and then go with the detail spray. I would never take one of my own cars through a mechanical carwash, touch-less or not.

I was told that some now are on conveyor belts?
Basically the floor moves with the car.
