Waterless Car Washing - Is it a Myth ?













Waterless Car Wash will scratch my paint.

Avoiding scratching comes down to technique and common sense.

Make sure you use quality microfibre cloths. When wiping the Waterless Car Wash from the surface of the vehicle use light strokes to pick up dirt. There is no need to get aggressive. Try to "wipe and lift" so that the contaminants are not dragging on the surface of the vehicle.

Use common sense. If you are dealing with a surface that is muddy or sandy, you will obviously need a pre-rinse. You can argue that a pre-rinse defeats the purpose of a "waterless" car wash, but with any method of washing your vehicle, whether it's waterless, rinseless or a hose and bucket...you'll need to somehow removes those heavy contaminants before cleaning the car.

It's not really "waterless" if you have to clean the microfibre cloths in water.

Firstly we need to clarify what "waterless" means. When people first hear the term they automatically think it means using absolutely no water at all. While this would be nice, it's not realistic. Really it means using significantly LESS water than the other methods available to consumers.

So yes, you will need to clean the microfibre cloths. They can be washed by letting them soak in a bucket of hot water with a little detergent. If you have a few cloths, save them all up and do one full load. The average cloth can be washed and re-used up to 50 times. Considering that the average person cleans their cars once ever two weeks, the towels will last you for about two years before disposal.


All waterless car wash products are the same.

No - There are many differences between the waterless car wash products out there. Here are some questions to ask when viewing the vast array of products:

• Water-based or petroleum-distillate based formula
• Does formula contain protective agents (e.g. silicone emulsion, carnauba wax, teflon, PEG, etc)
• Are bottles and sprayers 100% recyclable
• Can the formula be used on both paint & windows
• Are there fragrances or dyes
• Aerosol or pump sprayer
