There is a waterless chemical you can buy... Popular with caravanners I believe.
On the subject of valeting... My neighbour gave me a good tip for the black plastic trim on the bumpers, which was looking very grey on my Miggy... Wax shoe polish in the tubes with sponge on the end!!!
Works a treat though. Make sure you rub it off after though!!

Meguires do a waterless polish system

Expensive gimmick. You'll incur build up after a few treatments & have to clean off & start again. If you've let your P&J get dirty why cover it in chemicals & rub it into your paintwork? There is no substitute for a wash, rinse, shammy off & polish. Hard work but when you're done & stand back & look you can see the depth in the colour, no short cuts.
It's worth the effort to do it properly.

Not entirely familiar with claybar but been told by those in the know it's ok & effective. Can't afford Lakes this year (gutted) but hoping to make Newent meet. :y

in that part of salford you get no water and end up will no car, just a shotgun in the face

Unless you remove all traces of grit, sand, dust, etc with copious amounts of the cheapest cleaning fluid available namely water prior to polishing all your going to do is scratch your paintwork :o

Perhaps so, but used on cars that never get dirty and have a huge build up of polish. ;D

I believe keeping on top of the job saves the need for such things, especially on classic cars but i accept i'm a Luddite & should try to keep a more open mind. 8-)
