I bought this stuff because we are in a drought now, and even though our water restrictions aren't strict, I would feel bad washing my car when I know we will probably be in a drought again this summer. I didn't expect it to clean off heavy dirt (especially near the wheel wells) because I've read some of the reviews for the EcoTouch product. Still, it worked well, got the pollen off (very heavy this time of year) and has even kept it off for the past couple of days. The only problem is that it doesn't give that usual shine you come to expect with the regular wash/wax routine. So if you have an expensive car or just want that bright shine, then this product probably won't do. For my purposes though, it seems to have saved my paint and worked without wasting water, which is all I want.
