You're right, they do! I haven't read the packaging on this stuff until just today. I just read the name "Car Wash Wipes" and thought,
"Okay, it's car shampoo in a wipe. You hose down the car, wipe it down with this stuff instead of using a mitt, and then rinse it off. Who cares?" But I took the time to read the instructions today and the usage sounds an awful lot like QD.
-Do not use on extremely dirty vehicles
-wipe DRY car with it, do not rinse off
-Do not use on surfaces where slipperyness is a hazard
This last point really points to me that it's really QD or something like QD. Car wash won't leave surfaces slick all by itself, but QD will. They probably should have named these things "Detailing Wipes" or something more accurate instead.
I'd like to try these out, but they seem costly. The place I went to had them for $8. It only comes with 10 wipes and you're supposed to dispose of them after each use. Not nearly as economical as a bottle of QD and some washable MF towels.
Besides, who knows how safe the wipes themselves are compared to a terry-style towel when they encounter dirt and start moving it around....
