Myth # 1: A waterless car wash color will scratch my car.
Avoid reduces scratches and damage to the technical and common sense .
First, make sure that you have quality microfiber cloths . My personal preference is to use towels with a minimum weight of 300 GSM (grams per square meter) . Either look on the label or ask the manufacturer for the weight of the towels.
Then , if the formula without water washing the surface of the vehicle is cleaned to collect using light strokes against dirt. No need , on the surface of the car vigorously rub the formula . I usually take the approach of "clear and lift " so that no impurities drag on the surface of the vehicle.
Finally , use common sense . When a surface of mud or sand , you obviously have a Pre - rinse . Many people argue that a pre-rinse defeats " waterless " the purpose of a car wash. Not in my opinion. For each method, the car wash , either without water or rinseless a hose and a bucket ... must somehow eliminate these pollutants heavy before cleaning the car. Otherwise definitely have problems.
Myth # 2: Not really, " waterless " to clean microfiber towels in the water, you have.
To solve this myth , we must first clarify what it means " without water " . When people hear the term automatically think it means absolutely no use of water. While this would be good, is not realistic. In my personal opinion , is that much less water than others to use for the consumer methods. What are these methods? See Myth No. 5.
So yes, you have to clean microfiber towels. The towels can just leave , be washed by soaking in a 1 -liter bucket of hot water with a little detergent. If you plenty of towels , save all and do a complete cleaning load versus individually. It is also made of the error that the towels are thrown away after use. That's not true . The average microfiber cloth may be washed and reused up to 50 times . Considering that the average person clean their cars more than two weeks will take about two years before the disposal of the towels .
If you really want to be " waterless " , then maybe you should not clean the car . But for most of us , we want our cars nicely in the future and increase their longevity a waterless car wash is a good option .
Myth # 3: A quick detailing product and waterless car wash product are exactly the same .
I can not speak for all brands at this point , but will do my best to address this myth . Usually waterless car wash products are faster than cleaning power retailers. Products waterless car wash combines surfactants , lubricants and pH builders break surface dirt more effectively to help. Quick detailers on the other hand are primarily for instant / gloss car paint used luster and not specifically designed for cleaning.
Myth # 4: All waterless car wash products are the same.
Not at all. In fact, there are many differences between there waterless car wash . Here are some questions to ask about the wide variety of products can be found at :
or water or petroleum distillate based formula ?
or full disclosure of ingredients on the packaging and the number of CAS on MSDS ?
o formula containing preservatives ( such as silicone emulsion , carnauba wax, Teflon, PEG , etc.)
o Is there isopropyl alcohol used in the formula ?
o Are spray bottles and 100% recyclable ?
o formula will be used both in the paint and windows?
o If the product is a white label ?
o the product in the U.S. is produced?
o Are there any fragrances or dyes ? Are they synthetic or natural ?
or aerosol or pump sprayer ?

Myth # 5 : A product of the waterless car wash does not help the environment .
The best method of analysis is to compare waterless washing the other options available on the market for consumers.
Environmental impacts of the method:
- Hose and washtub

Comparison of the three most common methods available to consumers today waterless car wash has the least environmental impact. Save water , energy and chemicals only worsens as you think about the millions of cars that are washed daily.
