I need the forum's input on manual engine cooling

I have this idea that I think would be great, but I want to get the forums input first. Its to manually cool the engine with a mist of water being sprayed across the radiator. The idea occured to me when my temp gage goes up to about 100C. I live in the desert and so its around 105 here and my car gets really hot, especially with the a/c on. So I came up with the idea to disconnect the windshield washer nozzles and attach a fine tubing the length of the radiator and run it acoss the top of the radiator before the fan. The tube would have tiny holes in it for the water to come out. The windshield wiper tank would be filled with distilled water and the windshield wiper motor will of course be disconnected of course, so when I press the button that sprays the water a thin mist will br produced right in front of the radiator and the fan will act as a dispersion mechanism that will disperse the mist to cool the engine. Anyone have any input on this idea? Or has anyone tried this?
