: Rachel, what you need to do is get that dry-clean stuff. I bought some at homecoming (Teachum convinced them to give us a Midwest Discount). I don't remember the name of the stuff but it's great. Pour into its enclosed spray bottle, pump it up, and its ready to go. Sure beats washing the car with water in this weather and I'll bet you can even do this in your own garage.

... I bought some at HC98, I originally liked it BUT I just threw mine away.
I found that it tended to settle out into 3 (I think) bands of separate stuff. No problem, I shoke it up like crazy before using. I also shoke it in between uses whenever I happened to look at it.
I found that after 18 months of shelf life it was leaving streaks that were hard to get off. I mean REALLY hard, like as in waxing would be easier! Maybe I didn't shake it well enough (although I think I did) or maybe the fact that it sat in an unheated garage over a winter did it in. I don't think it froze though.
Also I found overspray on door handles, tires, etc. looked like heck and was hard to get off.
Anyway I replaced it with Meguair's Quik Detailer, there's no comparison in my opinion. Better shine, overspray is hardly noticeable. Plus I know a lot of people swear by the Griot's Garage stuff, Mike Noble sure uses it a lot.
Just my $0.02...
