If its what im thinking of its just a spray can almost like a spray detailer. A guy at a gas station talked my GF into buying it(she can't say no once someone starts talking something up). Not sure if its what your talking about but if its is I would't waste my time. It just the same as a spray detialer. If your cars dirts don't use it but if it just needs a quick detail then it would be okay but a name brand spray detialer may be better and cheaper.

There are thing like Quick and Easy Wash (QEW) that only require 1 gallon of water, but I'm not sure about "dry" washing...wouldn't trust it.

Find out the actual name of the product, and that will help.

Dry Wash N Guard I use it and use to sell it. Good stuff in my book. They're right its more of a detailer spray but the good thing with it is if your car is a little more then dusty had some fine girt this stuff will allow you to take a wet towel and wipe it off. Also you can use the spray again on the dirt and it will take it off with out scratching the paint. Another good thing is you can use it in direct sun light. which most sprays you can't. Give it a whirl...it's good ****.

what he said...........it works well. My only recomendation is wash before applying............don't get any overspray on any black trim........it will leave a white overspray

Dry Wash 'N Guard

It's fine to use as a detailer but I wouldn't use it as a wax.

Yeah... I remember that stuff. I would use it as an "in-between" washing, but not replace it for washing you ride.
