Waterless Wash & Wax Products
I'd like to give the car a once over, it's rather dusty as opposed to muddy. The sunroof, whilst now opening and closing OK, needs a new seal and a bit of adjustment, so I don't really want to throw water at it.
Does anyone use the waterless cleaners? Seem simple enough, spray on, wipe off?

I've been using this for the last 5 years or so https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Britemax-Spr ... 1aa0cd1641
Spray a panel at a time then buff with another cloth. Apart from the bodywork, it's good for glass, bumpers, plastic and wheels.
I recently bought 4 litres of it as it works out cheaper.....There are many other brands available.
Get decent microfibre cloths too, not the cheap ones

Re: Waterless Wash & Wax Products
I just bought a couple Andy. Not tried this before. Does look good. Some i have used leave marks/streaks. This sounds better. Do you spray on then spread with one cloth and buff off with another ??andyd wrote:I've been using this for the last 5 years or so https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Britemax-Spr ... 1aa0cd1641

Hi,
I`ve been using this for a couple of years, just to remove light dusty stuff, works well and paint seems unaffected by use, which was my main worry. As Nick says, spray on, wipe off with one cloth, then a second wipe with a clean cloth, then `polish` with 3rd. Microfibre recommended.

That's it Nick, I only put 4 or 5 squirts per panel and use 400gsm Microfibre they are really good, but use cheaper ones on the wheelsFordoholic Nick wrote:I just bought a couple Andy.

Re: Waterless Wash & Wax Products
I don't polish very often now, as this protects the paint and adds a layer of wax eveytime you applystevemarl wrote:Hi,

Only problem the sheets keep sliding off if not careful as it's so smooth

Aldi sell it occasionally, very cheap too. Gets great reviews even on the detailing forums -

I hadn't really heard of it until I bought a bottle at a car show in 2013, now it's so much easier

Re: Waterless Wash & Wax Products
Look what I got in the post yesterday (sat)
Thanks for the heads up with this Andy and if Steve uses it too it certainly comes with two very highly regarded recomendations ! Does seem a very good waterless detailer/cleaner indeed. Cheers !!

Re: Waterless Wash & Wax Products
I bought some of the Britemax on Andy's earlier recommendation. From my experience so far, it seems to leave no streaks after use, unlike some other products I've tried. As a bonus it smells very nice too...

On a hot or warm bonnet it does dry quickly and is harder to remove, but that's the same for most products.

Re: Waterless Wash & Wax Products
From this Thursday, Aldi have their waterless wash & wax back in stores. It gets good results on the detailing sites and at just £3 per spray it's a bargain. I bought one last time they had it in, will probably get another or two.

Re: Waterless Wash & Wax Products

Re: Waterless Wash & Wax Products
Excellent, hope you like it Andy Would be interested to see your review.
Re: Waterless Wash & Wax Products
Just gave the Focus a clean with this, and it's equally as good as the other 2 sprays I use. Smells nice too
I would happily use this on the Capri as and when I need to.
At this price it's worth buying a few eveytime they are in the shop

Re: Waterless Wash & Wax Products
Cycled over to my local Aldi last night and they had it so grabbed a couple of bottles. No micro fibre clothes at home so that's next on the list
