Anyone use no wet car wash?
Anyone use no wet car wash? So this is BS...In a few weeks, after years of living in apartments, I'm finally moving into a house with a garage. Now I can wash/seal/wax/detail my car in peace..........or so I thought!
Hillsghetto county (Tampa, FL) now has crazy water restrictions where you can only water your lawn one day a week by hand or some BS, and also NO RESIDENTIAL CAR WASHING! They'll slap you with a $160 or so fine if you get caught! Which really puts a damper on my fun.
Soooo has anyone used the no water car wash kits that they have available? I can't see them working too well, and if they do, don't they take forever to use??
It seems to me as if they'd be a pain in the *** if I want to wash, clay, wash and then seal & wax.

If you have to use a waterless was try Poorboys World Spary and Wipe. Ive never used it but ive seen people that have and they say they like it. Its not for heavily soiled vehicles though. you could try Optimum No Rinse. its a rinse less was, you fill up a bucket mix some in, wash a panel and then dry. It can be mixed as a quick detailer and clay lub also. I have used this and it really neat stuff.
Cool thanks for the tips.
I have to check out the house more (haven't moved in yet). But at the front of the house there is a drive way, but the garage is behind the house against a dirt road/alley. If the garage slopes downward towards the alley I might be good, but it may create a huge mud puddle which would defeat the point of washing it.
I might just say screw it and hope to not get caught.
The town I'm moving to seems pretty chilled out and old school, I doubt any of my neighbors will douche and turn me in.

My advice is to wash and wax it the old fashion way, just don't get caught, then constantly spray it with detailer / liquid wax.
I wash my car about every three weeks, and every few days in between I use that Turtle Wax Liquid Ice detailer to clean the car. Basically grab four or five microfiber clothes (depending on how dirty she is), spray your car up, polish it off, then run a clean cloth over the top just to take care of any smears or anything.
You can do this in like 15 minutes or less if you keep on it. I normally do it right when I get home from work, if all you have to clean off is a few days of road dust it takes no time at all. If you ignore it for a week then you're screwed.
