c_bova Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 i do at times. i use ultima waterless wash plus. it's very good in my opinion. you don't want to use it if you car is real dirty though and you want to make sure you have good microfiber towels and keep folding so you have a clean portion of towel on the paint. the nice thing about UWW+ also is that you can use it as a rinse less wash too.

SDotNYC Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 I've been using Griots for about a year and a half now with nice results. Never had an issue with scratches or swirls left behind but any heavy dirt I'd prefer soap and water of course. The kit they have on amazon comes with perfect towels to get it done.. http://www.amazon.com/Griots-Garage-11285-Spray-On-Wash/dp/B003V3RVWI/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1355031384&sr=8-2&keywords=griots+waterless+car+wash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishx65 Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 I also use Griots. Some Advance Auto stores are now stocking Griots products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOEHIO Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 I've always been a bit leary on using a spray wash, but with real cold winters, I'll give this a try. If cars are extremely dirty, especially after a snow fall, there is a local place that does a complete hand wash (no brushes, just a bunch of guys with mitts) for around $20. Too many times, I've tried to wash the cars when it's really cold out, and I've turned our driveway into a skating rink ! Wife really gets mad at me when I do this. :heartbreaker: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgieguy Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 Let me know next time you're washing cars. Ill bring my Edge and my skates and stick. I too have been really hesitant to use the waterless washes. I've read a ton about them on live2detail.com and I may try this winter.

JOEHIO Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 MAybe I'll get a bottle, try it on my cousins Lexus. If it works, I'll let you know. Anytime you want to come ice skating, shoot on down. Bring your wife and kids, we can start a bon-fire, roast hot dogs and marsh mallows, and have the fire dept here, and the police up my butt. Nah, cops in town like me, maybe because a buddy was on the force ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richy Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 Both ONR and the Duragloss one is great! That's all I use in the summer. In the winter I power wash it in the garage with hot water to get rid of the salt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgieguy Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 Quick question about that, can any power washer handle hot water? ....Or will my Generac gas PW get ruined with hot water? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOEHIO Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 Andy, never thought about using the gas pressure washer - good suggestion. I guess luke warm water wouldn't hurt it. What I do in the winter, when there is a lot of crud on the car, is first go to the local coin operated pressure wash, use water only (rinse cycle) to get off the heavy accumulation of salt. Then I bring it home, put it in the garage, turn on the heat so I don't freeze my butt off, and wash with 2-3 buckets of luke warm water & dry. Then I follow up with detailing spray. Works for me !
