Default Waterless wash?

Any thoughts or opinions on waterless washes? Ex: CG's EcoSmart-RU, Griots spray on wash?

I have ONR but would also like to explore the possibilities of being able to wash my car without using any water.

You can use ONR as a waterless wash when you mix it at QD strength.

I like Ultima Waterless Wash Plus (UWW+) and HD Touch for waterless washing. Only use this method when my vehicles is very lightly soiled.

I'll only use waterless washes as a QD, and then only if I've recently washed the car and it hasn't gotten wet since.

Such is life when you have obsidan black...

Ah ok. That'll save me some monies then. Any estimate on how many MF towels i'd need for one wash?

I was close to getting obsidian black, but the lot at my work is quite small... theres already an obsidian GS & LS. My UW 3IS stands out esp when I purposely park next or between them Makes me think of MJ's "Black or White"

Depends on how dirty your vehicle is... I'd recommend a minimum of 5, but you may end up using 10-15 if your car is dirtier and you need to work in very small sections. I like to use something like these Plush Edgeless Towels for rinseless & waterless washing.
