How To: Eco Waterless Wash Your Car
Take a peek at this video I put together about waterless washing. This method will remove dirt, water spots, bird droppings, dead bugs & road grime. While using this technique remember the following tips:
1. Spray plenty of wash solution on the vehicle.
2. Work one panel at a time.
3. Wipe solution off lightly. (no pressure)
4. Turn towel to a new side often.
5. Get a new towel when needed.
6. Buff off haze.
Instructions Listed below.

1. Start with a mildly dirty car (dust is okay, mud is not)
2. Pull your car into a shaded area.
3. Put your waterless wash solution in a spray bottle (or pump bottle like shown)
4. Start spraying an upper panel of the car (work top of the vehicle down)
5. Use a clean microfiber cloth, and gently wipe the solution away. (DO NOT wipe over dry areas)
6. Buff off haze.
7. Repeat until entire exterior is clean. (solution works on windows & wheels as well)

I just cant wrap my head around the idea of a waterless car wash. If you wipe a rag across a body with loose dust particles, how are you not swirling the grit around your paintjob?

Just try it PaladiNSX. I use optimum no rinse and it works great, just use two bucket method, grit guard and nice microfiber/lowes grout sponge.
One tip, I tend to soak up a lot of ONR solution, wipe the area and squeeze the sponge so solution comes out and the dirt goes with it (if that make sense).

You are using the solution to help lift the dirt off the paint of the car. With light to no pressure, you are removing the dirt, not swirling it around. You also have to change towel sides often, and change to a new towel often as well.

Re: How To: Eco Waterless Wash Your Car
I was skeptical when I first tried this type of system, and I'm a big detailing nut. I use ONR. As long as you follow the rules/steps correctly, there is little risk. It's arguable that it's safer than traditional washing. You know you're doing it right if the "dry towel" never becomes dirty.
