Just curious how many folks use the waterless
car wash. I am used to using a soft brush on a pole
to wash my truck. And, not that I don't love my truck...
it's just that my new vette begs to be pampered on
the outside. I washed it yesterday, and wiped it down, but still had some water spots.
Do you think a bottle of detailer product, and some
towels are a better option these days. There are a lot
of products out there...which do you use, and why?
Thanks!!!

I use the "Pink Stuff" a motorcycle cleaner version of "Pledge" and a cloth diaper (or microfiber cloth).

It's about $7 a can.

I've used Mothers Instant Detailer with micro fiber towels beteen washes with good results but am tempted to try Meguiars Quick Detailer next time because its a larger sized container for the same price as Mothers. It works on water spots, finger prints and bug spatter but I wouldn't use it on a dusty car preferring to hand wash it instead.

I own a high end detail shop Silicon Valley and have tried about 20 Waterless Wash products, by far this one runs circles around any others out there Eco Green Auto Clean

As recommended by mike Phillips (auto geek)and my detailer, I use Blackfire waterless wash. I fold a microfiber towel into quarters, spray a small amount on the microfiber towel then spray the panel and wipe in one direction not circular. After you finish one panel you repeat the same on another quarter of the microfiber towel. No swirls and as I
Had once previously mentioned the product has more lubricity then water. Doing this after a detail and paint correction about 1.5 years ago and still looks great. It takes me 20 minutes and I have a black car.

I have used Adams Products for years and he has not only the waterless wash, but also a rinseless wash.

The waterless is designed for that point where there is more dirt then dust. I use it if I have had the car out on the road a few times and it is has to typical road dirt on it. If I happen to drive it in the rain (not uncommon in Florida this time of year) I get the rinseless out.
I only use the detail spray when it has the normal dust on it.

Meguires gold class detailer and micro fiber towels. Never have washed any of my corvettes with soap and water.

I use Optimum rinse-less wash and shine. I guess you cant call it water-less but you use very little water. Add an ounce to 2 gal of water then use a soft microfiber cloth or wash mitt to very lightly wash a section at a time and dry with a good /soft micro fiber towel.
Comes out clean and shinny every time. Although if my car is really dirty (and it hardly ever is) I would resort back to the hose and two bucket system which I do about once a year anyways.For a little dust or at a car show I've been using Griots detail spray.

This of course will sound stupid, but the best thing (and easiest) i've found to remove water spots is....water. Just hit them with a fairly damp towel and goodbye spots. Then go back with your favorite detailer.

I've use Meguires Quick Detailer for years.

I use chemical guys eco smart waterless in all my cars. Even in my Black GL350. Easy to use and no swirl marks or anything on black paint after three years.

I use the turtle wax clean and shine between regular washes with a micro fiber towel and it seems to work really well! Smells kinda like after shave too which adds a nice touch!

flyingbunnys

I use griots waterless detail.

I also use Griots waterless wash, I think the big secret is using high quality micro fiber towels to do the work of lifting the dirt away from the surface to help prevent scratches.

I have used Chadwicks Triple Play for years and love the stuff. I agree you should use a high quality micro fiber towel.

I do this as well. If the car is actually dirty, I use a real wash. If the car is just dusty or has pollen on it, or needs some touch up, I use a waterlwaterless product. I use waterless to clean off bird poop from my truck too.

Not knocking quick detailers but you want something with a little more lubricity. This stuff is really good and leaves a good shine! Works awesome with a claybar too! Theres alot of good waterless washes out there just find one with the best lubricity.
