Waterless Car Cleaning - opinions?

[adamamuk]

What's everyone's thought on waterless cleaning products?

And do many people use them at the big events after travelling hundreds of miles?

I use this when I get to shows. http://www.cleanandshiny.co.uk/quick-detailers/Zaino-Z6-Ultra-Clean-Gloss-Enhancer-Spray

I can't see the problem of using it as long as you have a decent layer of wax on the car already. Obviously only for light dirt.

Ahhh ok, thanks mate.

I also had a little route around on Google and a lot of people some seem to just use a 'quik detailer' and a lot of micro fibre cloths.

Get on detailing world mate. There's a whole section for it.
Not tried it myself. For shows, I'll just quick detail if it's not dirty. Or take buckets of water if it's far and just do a quick 2bm wash.

For car shows I just use quick detailer, I looked into the Kleers portable washer but read that it wasn't particularly great? Check out Chemical Guys Waterless washes.

i have a kleers washer, ok, its not as good as the nilfisk at home, its never going to replace that, but for shows its perfect, i doubt anyones car will be so dirty just before a show it needs a full blown pressure washer, just more likely a wash and rinse, which its ideal for when there is no hose available.

I have started to take a pressurised container with me. Can get them on ebay, but I picked mine up from Mole Valley Farmers. Fill it with water, pressurise at the show, hose off and if needed wipe over with shampoo etc etc. easy.

Used to use QD on its own but I went to one japfest 2 one year at Donnington park, and the dust on the car from the entrance road was too much for the QD. Borrowed someone's pressurised container to help and saw the light. haha

I've used chemical guys ecosmart before, it works well for light dirt, although I would always use water if at all possible.

I'd be wary of using just a quick detail spray unless its very light dust or finger prints.
