Car washing!
 
So guys, I have a huge problem. I don't trust other people with me car (not the problem :P). I live in a condo and there's no where for me to hook up a water hose. I've always went with don't wash if you cant properly rinse, and I can't rinse at all. There are also no car wash places around me that I've found that allow self washing. After looking around a bit I found a whole new concept to me, "dry wash" solutions. Have any of you tried this out, if so how well does it work, if not why are you staying away from it (if any reasons)

During the winter I've used warm water and my autocross tire sprayer to rinse salt off my car. Not sure if I'd go so far as an entire wash with that method.

tl/dw version: ONR is one of the best waterless washes. Make sure you get a quality sponge and two buckets (wash and rinse bucket). Spray some detailer spray before running the sponge on the car. Don't apply pressure on the sponge, let it do the work. Wipe with a clean MF cloth.

Thanks for the input Paimon. Now is that one of those "high velocity activation soaps" where you have the use a hose with pressure coming out of it for it to sudd up? Or could I just mix it with the water and sponge? Also :) very sexy Brilliant Black.

No high pressure hose needed. Fill the buckets in your sink if you have to. And its Sparkling Black Mica ;).

Btw, suds dont exactly mean lubricity. The ONR wont get sudsy (most rinseless soaps wont), but it is very very gentle on the paint.
