I wouldn't use them, can't see how they can lift dust/grit away from paintwork?

Waterless are ok providing there has been some prior prep done ie is the paint waxed. Personally if I had no other choice I'd go the local petrol station give the car a good jet wash off drive it home so its dry and then use one of these.

I've got countless ones in my garage but I only ever use them after I've washed and dried mine properly as some of them have great ingredients.

All depends on you, a red car may show up so e swirls if you don't get it right so just be careful I guess.

Thanks for the advice Ginge.
Did think they sounded too good to be true.
But after a jet wash and dry,they may come in useful.
Do you have any particular brand you would advise over the others?

Ultimate finish do their own brand and I've heard it has carnuba content, but not 100% if that's true?
