DUNKS Posted April 5, 2023 Report Share Posted April 5, 2023 Hi has anyone tried this and what are your thoughts please. My neighbour uses the spray on his two year old car and it always looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rewulf Posted April 5, 2023 Report Share Posted April 5, 2023 Wont work on a dirty car, Ive tried it (commercially) and its no where near as good as a decent wax. Wash your car, let it dry , then wax it properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B725 Posted April 5, 2023 Report Share Posted April 5, 2023 I've used Williams waterless car cleaner for year's and it does work very well indeed and I use it on the inside of the windscreen as well. If the car is really dirty I do give it a quick wash, but light dirt is lifted off easily, just use 2 or 3 clothes on the dirty bit's.

London Best Posted April 5, 2023 Report Share Posted April 5, 2023 Waterless wash works brilliantly on light road dirt and leaves the car feeling slippy like it does after a wax polish. It’s also very quick to use, I can do a 110 station wagon in about 15 minutes. Highly recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulinlincs Posted April 5, 2023 Report Share Posted April 5, 2023 Waterless is OK for light dirt but not the best idea for anything else. Have a look at optimum no rinse (ONR) not waterless but rinseless. You add some to a gallon of water and gently wash the paintwork and dry each panel as you go. Sounds a faff but takes 10 mins to wash a car and safer on dirtier cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poor Shot Posted April 5, 2023 Report Share Posted April 5, 2023 Complete and total nightmare material if you care about the long term condition of your paint. If you don't then it's a quick and convenient way to achieve acceptable results. Long term it will embed swirls within the paint that will require polishing out professionally. As will any form of contact washing. Waterless washing fluid will just do it a lot faster as it contains the grit within the fluid and towel rather than rinsing it off with water, car soap and a bucket. I'm one of a few who takes pleasure in spending a Saturday afternoon detailing a car so my wash process looks a little like this: - Apply pre-wash or snow foam and leave to soak before rinsing off. - Apply alloy wheel cleaner and wash wheels with a separate wheel cleaning brush. - wash body of the car with a two bucket method. - dry off the paintwork with a drying towel. - apply a spray wax/ quick detailer/ wax sealant depending on how much time I have. Yes, I'm a ******* looser and I know it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
