Water-less car cleaning
Water-less car cleaning is not a brand new method of car cleaning, although it does seem to be less heard of and less used. than either the traditional bucket and sponge approach or pressure washing.
Both of those methods are effective and it is clear to see that they work. What you don’t see straight away, are the tiny scratches that build up on your paint work and are made more visible once your car has had a polish or wax finish applied to it. This happens because brake pad dust, grit and dirt all build up over time and when pressure is applied to this debris and pushed back and forth or round in a circular motion during the cleaning process, the dirt particles scratch the coating that covers and protects your paintwork, before being flooded off with a rinse of clean water.
This is where the water-less car cleaning method differs from the two other main cleaning options. Once the product is sprayed on to your cars surface, it will need 1 to 5 minutes (depending on the amount of dirt amassed) to penetrate down and get underneath the dirt and debris and keep it suspended at the top of an emulsified layer, away from the cars paintwork. The emulsified layer is then carefully absorbed into a soft micro-fibre towel, with a skilful wipe, whilst slowly rotating the towel all along the area that is being worked on, so the debris is fully removed. Once an entire panel has been completed, a fresh micro-fibre towel is used to buff the entire panel, this process is repeated until the whole car is finished, leaving it clean, waxed and ready to face the streets for at least another fortnight. The finishing waxy layer repels water more efficiently, which in turn leads to less dirt and debris build up, especially on rainy days, because a lot of the dirt is actually contained in road surface water.
