Cleaning car without rinsing?
 

I know this may sound funny, but I like to be environmental friendly. I used microfiber rags, and a spray wax to wipe down my car, and remove dirt. It really did look good when I was finished. As long as I use a different part of my rag with each wipe, I avoid any risk of scratching it right? Is there any downside to this method of cleaning the car?

You are probably scratching the hell out of your car. Check this stuff out, and the instructional video:

:tup::tup:

alcheng- while no-rinse is great for appearance, you will still want to get the undercarriage washed. be like having a pretty girl with dirty underwear. yikes.. :icon14:

I was also considering the touchless car washes, followed by the spray wax I would put on manually. But I have heard bad things about touchless car washes?

I been using a product that imho opinion is superior to the griots. I will vouch for both wash and wax as being unmatched thus far. The tire/interior cleaner cleans tires but doesn't add shine. When using it in the interior its kinda iffy. Id rather use meguirs or mothers.

Whip Wash

The touchless wash can be used if your car is really muddy or dirty and you know you have had a coat of wax on it within the previous 2 months and have kept up with it using a quik detailer and wax product. I use them occasionally to get the undercarriage cleaned or to take off excessive dirt when in a hurry.
I prefer polymer based waxes just because you can actually feel your clearcoat is being protected. Using these types of waxes I would presume will give protection from harsh chemicals in the touchless.

damn I'm just itching to say something mean haha. OP seems like a nice guy though. in before the trolls

RE: I like to be environmental friendly. How is water bad for the enviorment?

You not using water to wash your car will have 0 impact on the environment. The manufacturing of your car created a nice amount of pollution. Its thirsty v6 engine is not fuel efficient and uses premium gasoline. There's all sorts of weird chemicals in that spray wax you use, and chances are the bottle its in isn't recyclable. You are going to wash those rags in the laundry, using soap and water. so you really aren't saving much by not washing your car properly. if you want to go green and want a clean car. Keep it in the garage or get a car cover and just wash it less often.

True.

:barf:

yep :tup:

Ride a bike.

Anyway, there're some cities has banned car-wash on drive way, here Toronto is one of them. I haven't heard of anyone getting a ticket but my friend told me they set this law couple years ago.

It's like the city doesn't want the chemical liquid goes into the household drainage, thus those chemical will goes to the lake before it got filtered properly.

Is it pretty much accepted that touchless car washes are the best + easiest way to wash your car today?
