    A lot of people have had success with that Mr. Clean car wash thing - but I'm just going on word of mouth - I've never used it myself. Apparently it removes all impurities from the water while you wash your car so you just let it air dry and that supposedly gives you a spot/streak free shine

    Its a latex blade that you use like a squeegee, just run it over your car after washing & touch it up with a chamie. Its really quick & works great.

    You can buy one @ Canadian Tire, for about $35.

    Bought the Mr. Clean Car wash kit. It kicks so much ass and saves so much time drying. However - I still dry certain areas of my car with a chamois because even Mr. Clean isn't perfect (damn near close though). Mostly area's where water may drip off something, like the spoiler onto the trunk, or around the licence plate onto the rear bumper...

    If you have a black or dark colored car the Water Blade tends to leave streaks, or even scratches if your car is still a bit dirty, so be careful
