Since deciding snow foam and pressure washers are bad for a car i've only been using waterless washing on the corrado.

Been using optimum no rinse, but recently discovered this stuff

http://www.vulcanet.pro/shop/uk/home/10-vulcanetuk.html

Anyone else heard of it? I am really quite impressed with it.

I use the local Polish carwash and live with scratches ..

I guess you can't put a jetwash anywhere near your car as you've painted it with rattle cans?

I can get my head around waterless washing, surely you're just dragging dirt over the car?

Probably, but in the grand scheme of things these tiny little swirls etc are pretty meaningless, no one looks at a car that close, (only the person washing it)

I think i got to the point where instead of spending 8hrs giving it a clean, i care more about the mechanicals.

Everyone still comments how good it looks, even though quite a bit of the car is black spray paint (people don't even notice that unless i tell them)

Fcuk people imo

Same, can't see how using something that drags dirt around can be any good for it.

Each to there own though.

Its OCD that holds people back imo

Tbh corrado doesn't get that dirty now, so i'm only cleaning off a bit of road dust/brake dust.

I've got the waterless wash and wax by Williams, usually demonstrated on the shopping channels.

Seems to do a decent job. I've only used it to get rid of some dried on bird shit, which it was fine at.

I don't worry about swirl marks anymore. I have a life so those things are insignificant.

Seen that on tv, i reckon they must be a similar thing, does the job, leaves time to go and masterbate.

My nan swears by it, though I'm not quite sure what she does after using the product.

Had some waterless stuff come into work that was quite good.

I owned a black corsa c sri at the time, and the apprentice 'washed' the word 'DICK' in my 1/4 panel,

Gave him an 8/10 for effort, and the waterless stuff was pretty good, as the dick was rather shinny

On a serious note I found this stuff for sale at The Range last year so I bought a bottle try it out..
I was very impressed and it also works really well on plastics (its probably loaded with silicone).

Telling a detailing enthusiast you use waterless wash is like telling your mates you're into ballet and tap dance.

Current boggle is based around saying pressure washer is damaging but you're not bothered about scratches.
