Water is a precious commodity and any way in which it can be conserved is considered environmentally friendly and good for the planet. A lot of water can be used, and also wasted, when washing a car. However there are now a number of products on the market which can be used to reduce the amount of water required for the job. A waterless car wash is one of these and this is an eco-friendly car wash method that is becoming more popular.
A waterless car wash is a chemical cleaning solution that can be used to clean any type of vehicle. The obvious benefit of this is that you conserve water and if you live in an area where water is restricted, are looking to cut down on water bills or want to become more environmentally friendly then it can be a good option to use.
However there are other benefits of using a waterless car wash. It is effective on most types of grime and can easily clean dirt, dust and bird droppings from a vehicle. It is also easy to use. All that is required is to spray on the solution and leave for around 15 to 20 minutes and then wipe off with a microfiber towel. The chemicals in the solution form a coating around the dirt and this makes them easy to wipe off without risking scratching or damaging your vehicle. As well as cleaning the car, the solution also acts as a polish and sealant and this gives your car a sleek look when finished.
The advantages make using a waterless car wash a good option to choose and there are a number of brands on the market. The Eco Touch WCW24 is one of these and a 24 ounce bottle costs around $10 to purchase. This is good for 4 to 6 washes and is supplied in a spray bottle. The solution is non-toxic, biodegradable and free of fragrances and dyes making it an easy and simple solution for washing your vehicle.
Another manufacturer that produces waterless car wash products is DWG International. They manufacture the Dri Wash n Guard car wash solution which is a more expensive product with a 32 ounce bottle costing around $35. This is a versatile product that can be used on any hard, non-porous surface. It cleans, polishes and protects the surface. It works by emulsifying the dirt to lift it off the surface and when completed leaves a protective layer over the painted surface.
Other manufactures that produce car wash products that can be used without water include Lucky Earth and Foamtek and depending on the size of the bottle, prices can vary between around $10 and $50.
