Waterless Wash & Wax any good?

MrCostington · 2020-10-05 12:45:45

What do you think of waterless cleaners such as Turtle Wax Hybrid Waterless Wash & Wax ? My car is 1983 if that makes a difference (before water based paint???) I understand you use a microfiber cloth with it, can you wash the cloth and re-use it?

These products aren't really suited to Irish roads where they are wet and mucky. They're "ok" in the likes of sunny California where the most you'd normally have on a car is a layer of dust and no muck with gravel/grit in it.

Personally I wouldn't ever use them.

I've used it on my 190. It only gets very light use so the waterless wash does a good job. Just use plenty of it on each panel. I use 2 quality meguairs microfibres with it. They wash out fine afterwards.
Forensic detailing did a good video on these products recently.
