Waterless Car Washing?

With climate change causing massive problems for a lot of the world, such as the recent Kenya drought and hosepipe bans becoming a more regular occurrence in the UK  finding a new way to keep your pride and joy clean is an important thing. I have heard about waterless car washing detergents before but always grouped them into the same basket as supermarket brand wax and shampoo and wax mixes. But after a bit of research I found some products such as the Optimum No Rinse Wash & Shine, that seem to offer the ability to wash your car using a minimal amount of water thus reducing water consumption and pesky water spots left on the paintwork.

The product works as a water softener and conditioner so less water is needed. Instead of using a soaking wet soapy sponge to wash then having to rinse, this lets you use a  damp sponge which then needs no rinsing and can be dried straight away in the usual way.

It sounds like a brilliant way for the motorist to help counteract against climate change and water shortage yet still maintain a cleaning regime. Of course you could just be like me and never wash the car, now that’s eco friendly! It would obviously work on vans and bikes as well, in fact anything that was metal I would imagine (although its probably best to check first)

Below is a short video showing how the product works (weirdly it has no sound) and the Optimum No rinse product can be found on motorgeek.com
