You can MAKE YOUR OWN touchless wash system which in reality, requires you to TOUCH YOUR CAR. Everything else is nothing more than something used to knock off the big dirt on your car. Hell, you could use one of these to do that. It is about as worthless as the system you are looking at.
If you REALLY want to knock some dirt off your car, you neeed a PRESSURE WASHER. Keep in mind that it can take some paint off too if you get it too close to the paint.

I use it as a prewash. I have three big vehicles so looking for something I can either do quickly or as a prewash. Yesterday, I prewashed by foaming bh touchless onto the car and trx. Let that dwell for 5-6 min and then pressure washed off. Then applied GSF and on the M3cs, I used a mitt to contact wash the car. and adams w&t on w&t. On the truck I just let it dwell. Pressure washed both off and then final rinse with di water. blow dry and then wiped dry with adams matte (on matte portion) and meg spray wax on cf. I was pretty impressed with everything. No, the bh didn't get everything, but I'll attach a photo of before and after and it was 95% clean. Which for my truck and escalade...most of the time, that will be sufficiant since they are both the daily drivers. And then once a month or two, I'll do a full contact wash on them. But as of right now, I think this system works pretty good for me. I had gotten to the point where I really disliked washing the cars and it took 4+ hrs to wash all three...so I'm trying to find ways to shorten that time. Also, on the wheels I did adams w&t on one side with brushes, and just the touchless on the other...couldn't really tell any difference (though I do have carbon ceramics).
Here are the before/after (the after is just touchless...it was before I did gsf)
