Zaino and Mr. Clean AutoDry

Does anyone know if the Mr. Clean AutoDry Car Wash system is any good? Is it compatible with Zaino?

I would like to give the touchless system a try, to minimize my touches of the car, especially during the drying phase as I have a hunch that is probably the time in which I might be causing the scratches. But I want to make sure I can still use Zaino, as I get good results.

Here is my plan every 2 months:

Wash with Z7 and rinse,
Mr. Clean System and let dry,
Z5/Z2 with Z6 in between,
Finish with Z8.

Every week:

Wash with Z7 and rinse,
Mr. Clean System and let dry.

What does everyone think?

The Mr. Clean System has done very little if anything to impress me personally. There are a few nice things about the overall package but in the end the cons outweigh the pros IMO.

I wouldn't imagine there would be any problem mixing the Mr. Clean Autodry and Zaino. All the Mr. Clean System does is filter the water so when it dries there are no spots or so they claim.

From everything I've read Mr. Clean Auto dry actually does a great job of leaving no spots, BUT will strip your wax at the same time. I wouldn't reccomend it unless your purposly trying to get rid of your wax to rewax.
