Waterless Wash
A waterless wash cleans a lightly dirty car with a spray and microfibre towels, without rinsing with water.
What is Waterless Wash?
It is useful where water use is limited. It suits dust and light dirt, not mud or heavy grime. Lubricating agents lift dirt off the surface. Work panel by panel and wipe in straight lines.
How it works
The spray encapsulates dirt so it can be wiped off with less friction.
Why it matters for your car
Use plenty of clean towels and turn them often. Do not use it on very dirty cars; scratching becomes likely.
