Waterless Car Wash ?

RE: Waterless Car Wash ?
Before I got my 06, I went and looked at a 99 vette that had 18,000 miles on it. The guy said he had NEVER put water on the car and only used waterless car wash on it. I never asked what he used, though. Of course, he also waxed the BOTTOM of his car, and rarely ever drove it. This was 1 clean car, but he wanted too much, and I didn't care for the torch red color with tan interior.
For those of us who live inthe real world, I wouldn't useit on my cars.

I voted that I would try the stuff. That vote of course is with a littlemore info about the product. I just can't see how you wouldn't scratch the surface with the dirt already on the car.
True Story:
One time I went to one of these "do it yourself" washes, with my truck, and it was really dirty. Well we all know, the high pressure sprayers don't remove all the dirt, but this place had one of those "foaming brush" deals, where the soapy water came out of the brush head. I tried it, and after, I noticed the finish had a lot of small swirl scratches, which I attribute to that brush thing, just pushing around the existing dirt, which had been trapped in the bristles.I managed to wax out most of the marks, with a lot of elbow grease, but that was the last time I tried that deal.
Would love to have a "Waterless" product that worked. Here in the great white north, it's kinda hard to wash the babies with waterwhen it's 25 degrees outside.

On that note from above, always spray the brush off with the high pressure sprayer before you use it! Like Revitupfaster said if the guy before you used it on his 4x4 and brushed all of that mud off, you could be in for a heavy dissapointment.

of course their site says it doesn't scratch.. do you think tehy'd sell very many if they said "this stuff is going to scratch the hell out of your car" ?

It would be great if it worked. Cause like Revitupfaster mentioned, when it's winter time you don't want to be spraying your car with water. Unless you enjoy having your car frozen shut.
