Windshield Washer Spray - Where did it go?

May be this is just me but I ask anyway...
I normally spray the windshield when the car is moving... let say above 50 mph...Every time I spray the windshield, no matter how how long I press the button, I amaze that the water just simply Gone. When you stop the car, there is no trace of water residue on the body....

SImply put... it really cleans the windshield without messing the body of the car. Is the aerodynamic of this car that good?

I can see the water drip after spraying the water and the wiper wipe all over the place in my Previous MB and my other cars.

Hmmmm...

Aero on this car is pretty incredible, especially for a car that doesn't sacrifice its design to look aerodynamic over all else (which would be unbecoming of a Luxury Sedan for the most part).

Maybe that's why I'd assume.

I think if you're going fast enough, and the car is clean enough (i.e the water doesn't turn the dirt hard), and especially with good aero, you'll be hard pressed to find it. If you use it while in low speed traffic, that could be a different story though.

Sort of the same story -- you'll find it on the car behind you!

LOL! That's the truth!

One time in my Chevy, was on the freeway, spraying the hell out of my windshield, trying to get some junk off, and didn't realize that I was probably showering the car behind me. Next thing I know some pissed off mini-SUV passes me, gets in front, and returns the favor.
