Without mentioning any product names. Has anyone have any luck w/ waterless cleaners?? Do they scratch paint??. Long term effects? I tried it on a relatively clean vehicle. It seemed to work well.Any input welcome.

 

I used to have a 1992 white S-10 and I used waterless wash on it. It worked great. I never had any problems with it scratching it. If I had any dirt build up on it, I would rinse it down first with a water hose and try to wash off as much dirt as possible. Ofcourse, I used that stuff every weekend on my truck when I had it. It looked like it rolled off the showroom floor when I sold it in 1996. The waterless wash that I used had silicones in it and made cleaning very easy when used on a regular basis.

I use that waterless car wash stuff every other time I wash my Bronco. It works great for me. I was doubtful the first couple of times I used it on a dirty truck, but I've been using it now for 3 years and havent put a scatch on the truck.

Thanx for input. I used befor I went to the beach this weekend. Usually the salt air and sand do a number on the finish.When I returned i just rinsed the truck w/ a hose.Truck looks newly washed. I'm out of the sample I had but I'm going to puchase more.

I use a product called "Meguiar's Quik Detailer Mist & Wipe" It doesnt scratch and it makes it look like its just waxed, it will also tell you when its time to rewax your car by the way it starts to wipe off the longer it takes to wipe off and buff the closer you need to wax again, I love it.

 

LouV14,
You'll find the more you use the waterless wash, the less you use. I was also wondering if you are using the latest version of the wash that comes in an aerosol? I still have a 32 oz. bottle of the original. I'll probably try the aerosol after that runs out. The guy I buy mine from says you use even less with the aerosol.

I use it on the semi all the time. I can wipe it down while I'm unloading. Seems to work ok in the heat of the day.

 

O.K. other than the Meguires, can you please recomend some other brands?


thank you

"Slick Stuff", made by The Wax Shop seems to be a very good waterless wash.

Thank you for the quick reply. Is it available at Napa or do I have to special order it from the company?

thanks again,

Whitebenz, I haven't seen it at NAPA. Some of the Advance Auto Parts stores carry it. The Wax Shop number on the bottle is 1-800-323-9192.

 

Thank you so much for the info.
