You seem a little too picky with the ladies. ;)

We are under water restrictions in Houston right now, and I 've got a nazi stormtrooper environmentalist for a neighbor. To save aggravation, I have been using a California duster and spray on waterless car wash. Seems to be okay, especially since I wax heavily.

The whole situation is rather stupid since I have to wash the rags by themselves. The washer probably uses more water than me using a bucket to wash my car.

:icon17:

oof, california duster. helloooooo, scratches.

no. i dont use touchless wash because it doenst clean well enough, or the pressure is too high and strips off wax.

they're fine if there's plenty of wax/sealant under the dust and the panels have not been exposed to rain or dew.

I use Optimum No-Rinse, one of the more popular of this type product

Except if you have a Nismo - the water pressure is not recommended for the big wing. I guess wind is better than water.

OP, depends on your color. I live in Florida which has awful sunshine and rainstorms year round. I am fanatical about cleaning my car weekly at the minimum and I have had my car for over 2 years. While I wash with water and soap 90% of the time, I have starting using extremely soft beach towels and high quality micro fibers and over lubricating the paint for a "waterless car wash". My silver paint has never looked better and I have been tracking scratches under gas station lighting at night (which is deadly) and while this may not be the ideal option, its been sufficient so far.

Point is, if you car is a little dirty and you have one of the lighter colors of our car, don't beat yourself up if you use a really high quality 1/2 & 1/2 water and detailer mix and a high quality towel to clean your ride in needy circumstances. These aren't 1920s fords in a museum where the paint needs to be treated better than human life. Take my advice or leave it but I have preformed a waterless wash on my silver in extreme circumstances and it looks fabulous.

Just my 2 cents :tup:

Not if you follow the advice of the Junkman! :tup:

I have an S-load of wax on the car, and am very careful to drag the fibers in one direction, and never use any downward pressure.

The strands are coated with wax, and supposedly, the dirtier the thing gets, the better it cleans.

but yet, ive never been tempted to smell the undercarriage of my car :happydance:

:icon18: lol

Aaaa-Choooo!!
