To those auto-detailing fanatics (of which there seem to be a lot here), your opinions are solicited.
At the behest of other black car owners, I picked up one of these things to use on my STi. And while it works as advertised (no water spots and no swirls from drying) - it leaves the paint somewhat "rough" feeling. The cleaning agent has some "dry-rinse" polymers that probably lead to this.
I haven't tried this stuff on the Elise, as I actually care about the finish on this car. So here's the question. How safe (or how bad) is the AutoDry cleaner to use? Can a synthetic coating (like a Klasse) be applied over the top w/o a problem? I am tempted to use the water filter aspect of the AutoDry thingy without using their cleaner, hoping that this would lead to fewer spots, even if towel dried. Thoughts, comments, stone-throwing?
