intercooler spray
Do you have to hit the auto mode for the intercooler spray everytime you turn the car on. I've noticed the light stays on when I turn it on, but If I turn the car off and back on the light is gone. Should the spray be used sparingly or is it ok for everyday driving?

I've just been using washer fluid. A friend of mine said he knew someone who used rubbing alcohol because it cooled better and evaporated quicker, but that sounds kinda sketchy to me. I don't know if I want something that flammable getting sprayed on a hot engine. Any thoughts?

Just use distilled water unless you live somewhere where it's already reaching freezing temps at night. Using washer fluid, although recommended by the manual, is a waste unless it is winter time.
