Re: waterless cleaning

Hmmm... think that the unsolicited testimonial from the clergyman is not a good sign

Re: waterless cleaning

i dont trust any of that stuff one bit, ok for a nearly clean car, but if cars very dirty its going to scratch it i reckon. you maybe ok with a city car, but i get lots of mud on mine here

i think you mean "testimoial" spelling mistakes dont do anything to sell a product to me
I saw something like this on the TV, and I agree with dave, on a nearly clean car, you may be ok, but if you have dried on mud on you bodywork, hows it going to come off without a good soaking?

Thumps down I reckon

Re: waterless cleaning

it will scrach you car the same as wiping your hand over the bodywork as i did it once to my car on the boot (trunk) and when it was washed it was still there faint but it was still there so dry dirt will scrach so water is the best bet and while on this i did once see an american advert on cable and this guy had a laser fired at his car door after using some sort of car care polish..ever seen this? and did it work for you>?

Re: waterless cleaning

the stuff ive got( no-wet iirc) skooshes on like a areosol, its a wet spray that you wipe off, so not rubbing dirt in, in effect your using this stuff instead of water n a cloth instead of a sponge, ive found it works great. leaves your car with a high glossy finish just polished finished. doesnt scratch at all as the spray is wet. even on really muddy cars n alloys its great !!!!!!!

try it before you make judgments on it! ( dont know bout the other stuff tho! just the brand ive got)


fanatstic at shows with no water supply!

This will scratch your paint , avoid it to help prevent your car looking like this.

Re: waterless cleaning

Why bother with waterless cleaning? Even in my area which had the first drought order we are still allowed to wash the car with a bucket of water and it isn't going to save you much if any time.

I tried one of these products years ago and it was just a watery wax, ok if the car is pretty clean in the first place but certainly no good if the car has seen more than a couple of days use Forget it and stick to a good ol' bucket of water and shampoo.

Love the swirl pics Ant!
