WOW Changed my life I think

I hate washing my car more than any other process. Why? It takes so damn long.
To avoid washing I end up Crystal Misting even when I should probably give the car a bath.

My problem has been that I have very hard water. Even before I can dry the car the surface is already COVERED with water spots and some kind of film.

So, I will usually dry with waffle weave.
Crystal Mist to get the water spots off.
Then, use Pinnacle Spray wax and polish her off.
Then of course we have those pesky wheels.

Today I found a better way, or at least what seems to be a better way.

[1] Bought this cheapie $5.95 garden sprayer with 4 ounce bottle underneath to mix shampoo with water. Filled it up with Pinnacle Body Shampoo and sprayed away. Nice very nice. Once I sprayed the car I then took a microfiber mitt and then put the spray on a very fine setting and spot sprayed again and washed with the mitt .Then a quick rinse with clear water.
[2] Now for the waterspots. BMW makes this stuff called Express Wax. Do not know what is in it but it works real well. I sprayed the car when it was wet and then dried it off. Not a water spot to be found. The finish was brilliant.
[3] I was concerned that the concentration of shampoo and or the Express wax would strip or affect my Souveragn finish. But no way, it beaded heavy and looked great.
[4] Even the windows were clean and did not need a separate cleaning.
[5] Of course, even though it did not seem to need it, I gave the car a dose of Pinnacle Spray Wax and it looks great.

ok, Any reason why I should not use this cheapo sprayer? Does a foam gun really warrant the extra cost? Believe me I am not going back to buckets again.

And does anyone know what is in the BMW express wax ? Is there any reason not to use it with a carnuba topper?

Are there any other products that I can spray on to a wet car that will help it dry spot free and shiny ?

the foam gun is a must have product and superior to those hand wands with small fill canisters. When $$ exist upgrade.

AG offers an inline filter system that isnt as expensive as the CRSpotless system and works quite well at reducing the waterspots too.

My first thought was of "World of Warcraft". I haven't been detailing long enough for BLACK WOW to be my default yet
