Nah, I just can't imagine ever using it on any of my vehicles , about as appealing as chewing tinfoil .......

Ive said the said for years until now.

Can't knock it if you ain't tried it

No , but I aint snorted cocaine either ........

Somebody mentioned it'd be suitable for dust , well maybe the dust you find under the bed or in a carpeted corner somewhere but dust on a car probably consists of fine stone particulate ,sand or even worse industrial fall out like coal or metal .
Now in order to remove said " dust " without abrading the subsurface this liquid would have to break the electrostatic charge that will be holding it onto the surface ,get under it and maintain a 100% barrier 100% of the time between the jagged ( just think of it for a minute ......) edges of the dust and the paint / lacquer surface, moreover this would have to be sustained whilst under pressure as you inevitably push down on the cloth whilst wiping it all off.
I'm not suggesting that it will score it to hell after two applications but it certainly will cause swirling and fine abrasions on the surface eventually.
It's marketed at people in high rise flats  who are legally prevented from washing their car in the street and have to take it to designated washing bays as is the case in Germany and other European countries.
I wish you well lads , but as I said I'd never use it on mine.

Fair comments mate. 

Does the same not happen when jet-sprayed??? I.e. jagged foreign body bit with strong force to remove?

P.s. mate I'm not arguing with you  just genuinely interested 

[Olympia5776]

It's alright Webby .
Technically washing a car with a sponge and water will eventually do the same but the difference is that the quantities of water used loosen & carry the particulate away first , as would a hose , so as to greatly minimise the effect , hence the often promoted two bucket method of washing a car .... but let's stay away from that debate ...
This may look like a soft sponge but it's a sharp edged particle of grit / dust ...........



As I said , each to his own , besides if it couldn't pass the dried coo shite test it would be no use to me anyway .

[Webby the Bear]

Bloody hell. That's in depth! 

As I said before I haven't done it myself as I can't be bothered but with this gorgeous nugget (no pun) of information I'll let you and other intelligent folk battle this one 

.... now, where's that popcorn smilie? 

[Del Boy]

Olympia, how do you wash your cars then?

Have to say it must be difficult for those bothered enough to clean their cars in anything like the attention to detail that a detailer would, to accept a waterless method. Two buckets being the basis of keeping grit off your sponge/cloth/microfiber etc, and hence off the paint to avoid scratches, however slight. It goes totally against the grain of everything that was ever taught about cleaning a car.

Yet those that have tried waterless say it works.
