Very good point RTexasF that some of us may not consider. I thought about the possibly offensive manufacturing procedures for making this stuff, but hadnt considered the cleaning of towels. Btw, i picked up some that requires a bucket or two of water.

There are other car-washing sprays on the market, but few car washes that specialize in the water-saving practice. Such sprays “are fine for cars that are moderately dirty,” said Mark Takahashi, automotive editor at car reviews site Edmunds.com. “If it’s severely caked-on stuff, using water to initially remove it is advisable.”
And part of the draw is that it is a plant-derived and biodegradable cleaner.
Yes, I would give it a whirl.
I did read the whole article before commenting. Also, if I wash my car using a 16 oz bottle of instant detailer spray I only use about 1/4-1/3 of the bottle. That comes out to somewhere around 4 to 5.5 oz of detail spray. 8 oz is 1 cup so that's less than the "one cup" they're touting here meaning the "water savings" is the same or better than what's being talked about in the article.
Well, the title of the article is "Drought-busting car wash cleans with less than 1 cup of water" (emphasis added). And it is someone else doing it, which is probably pretty appealing to the typical SF Gate reader, who probably does not even have the room to do a rinseless wash at their apartment/condo/townhouse.
