Waterless car wash??
 
Now that "modified Phase 4" water restrictions have been imposed on the west coast (of FL) we can no longer wash our own cars...seek comments from those who have used the "waterless car wash" products. Do they really work, or is it snake oil?:shrug01:

Snake oil as far as what I have seen. It would be easier and more productive to get a McGuire's spray or order some glaze spray from FLASH WAX. As long as the car is just a little dirty or dusty the spays will work fine. Beyond that you can take your chances with a quick wash or take it to a professional who can hand wash it without running it through the machine wash.

Seein' how you can't wash your car I'd hire my neighbor.

As far as waterless wash I'd pass.:D

I used this NASCAR stuff before on the Black Z28 and it worked ok:thumbsup:

Probably not what I'd recommend for the finicky or the professional, but it's better than dirt!

I like the idea of hiring the neighbor. Ok, here's $20.00 go wash the car.

(Fine $100.00 minimum):lmao:

Ah yes....entreprenurship:thumbsup::lmao:

Maybe you could just send up some fifty-five gallon drums up near Tallahassee way and collect all the rainwater you want. It's been raining cats and dogs here for days now. Our road has ponds (not puddles) all through it. The spring peepers certainly are happy, though...

I know when my baby gets out of the shop this week, shes getting two baths shes that dirty.

Saw a guy post a video on the Optimum No Rinse with awesome results. Might be something to take with ya while on car cruise that ends at a car show.

Pretty damn good results. Its funny reading all the other owners comments. You can tell who the garage queens are. Afraid to drive in the rain but dont have a problem washing their car with crappy county/city water.
