Question Best Waterless Car Wash And Wax

I need some advice on which car brand of waterless car wash is the best and what is the best hand rub wax (not wax that has to be buffed out). Some help and advice would be very appreciated. Thanks

Umm interesting, best non buffing hand wax is PAL Automotive products. I prefer the Banana Wet Wax(smells like bananas), or Thick Gloss Wax. thick wax is tough to get out by hand unless you have fiber towel. I guess working at a car place helps out a little bit after all LOL. As far as a waterless car wash, you even got me, the detailer, left high and dry. *shrug*

Armor All makes some kind of car wash "wipes" that don't require water. That's the closest thing I've heard of to waterless car washing...

The Mr. Clean Auto wash and dry is by no means hands free. You still have to wash the car but the "hands free" part is that you don't have to dry it.

I can't belive you guys haven't heard of waterless car wash before. The mobile detail guy that used to come to where I worked used one of them waterless systems and it did a very good job. I didn't like the idea of it but the cars looked really good when he was done. If you felt the paint it was very smooth and no signs of road debris caked down in it.

Describe 'waterless'. It just so farfetched to me. How can you rid of road tar / sap / bugs / droppings without soluting it with water.

I know what you mean by waterless. It was like a srpay on wax/detailing spray. Tried this stuff when i used to work in a detail shop, I believe it was called Autoshine. I was a skeptic too, but it worked decently. It smelled like puke though. It also didn't last for more than 2 weeks at a time.
