Waterless Carwash Options.

[Fatbob103]

Gunna get some hate here for multiple reasons but looking for some advice on good waterless carwash options.
Basically my Harley sits around a lot lately not being used and with living in units , giving it a quick wash isn't an easy thing to do.
I'd like to be able to pop out to the garage once a week and give it a once over to keep it looking half decent without having the hassles a full on proper wash is going to cause me at the moment.
Anyone got any recommendations?
Cheers

I had a Fatbob for about 12 years, I sold it because I thought I had to compensate for buying a project car. I regret doing that most days now, as the Minister for Finance told me I didn't have to.

I found a mob selling stuff in supermarket carparks worked well, spray on, wipe off with a clean shine.
https://www.fw1.com.au I think it was.

Prydey's link is a good reference though.

Ok, so that posted link is quite in depth, so I'll shorten it down into an easily digestible format.

Firstly though, "rinse-less" and "waterless" washing are two separate wash methods.

Waterless washing involves no water, just a sprayable product and a bunch of towels. This the least safe of all washing methods, but can be done in a pinch with correct product choice and technique.

Rinse-less washing does in fact use water, and depending on method, you wash the car in a similar way as a traditional bucket/soap wash. The difference being the washing solution is not rinsed from the vehicle at the end. Important to note that this method involves rinsing less, you can still pre-rinse the vehicle beforehand if desired. And this is where most people get hung up when it comes to rinse-less washing.

For you, I would be looking into the "Garry Dean" rinse-less wash method. This will be a quick, convenient and SAFE method of washing. If you are new to this, check out the video below.



In that case, he is using McKee's N-914, but any rinse-less would be fine. For a newbie, I would recommend Optimum No Rinse (ONR), it's basically foolproof. Just make sure to get the latest revision 5. If you want to go nuts, then check out Gyeon EcoWash or P&S Absolute. If you want something readily available, check out Bowden's Dry Spell.

Feel free to ask questions, it can be a bit weird when starting out with rinse-less, but it makes a lot sense for this sort of situation.
