haha, you actually spent some time on it...

I came home from work on Saturday, Mr Cleaned the car, pulled it into the garage and took my girlfriends car to the meet I gave the car a good washing/waxing a week or so ago so I didn't feel the need or desire to put in much effort

Good ol' soap, water, and some elbow grease the night before. Then actually woke up around 7AM the morning of the meet to detail my CF hood.

It does a pretty good job, but there are a few things you would have to do to get it to work spotless....

Wax more often, wash in a cool area, no direct sunlight, very clean water (even with the filter) and then you might get closer to the fabled "Auto Dry"

I'm a lazy bastage, I like the auto dry. Makes drying easier at least.
