Who uses the waterless polish spray on thier pride n joy?

I do, seems to do a good job on white paintwork, but i do wash most of the heavy dirt off first.

I don't think you'll find too many amateur detailers use waterless products as the risk of marring the paint is quite high, and that's what most of us spend our time avoiding.  Might be worth a look over on Detailng World though to see if there are any reviews.

Here's a few comments from DW.

Haven't used it and wouldn't, as I actually enjoy cleaning my car and don't consider washing it using the safe 2 (or 3) bucket method a chore.

Also, it must be difficult to get to the backs of the wheels and into all the nooks and crannies using a waterless spray, whereas with a good set of conventional washing gear, this isn't a problem.

I wonder if these waterless products contain some form of fillers to mask swirls? It would be interesting to see what the condition of the paintwork is like if on a car cleaned with a waterless cleaner if the paintwork was stripped of all protection ready for polishing.

So you wash the car and then use a waterless polish spray (glorified quick detailer)?
