What is waterless washing?
Waterless washing is the process of cleaning a vehicle without using water (hose and bucket). When waterless washing, you simply spray and wipe the aircraft, RV, or car the same way you clean inside your home. You don’t use a hose and bucket to clean your counter tops, appliances, and windows inside your home, you use the proper products to spray and wipe them clean, and it should be the same for your vehicles.

What is Dry Washing?
First of all, Wash Wax ALL is a waterless cleaning product NOT a Dry washing product. Dry Washing is the process of taking a petroleum based liquid car polish or other similar product and applying it to a dirty surface. After you have allowed it to dry completely, you take a dry towel and buff the dried wax and dirt off the finish. Aero Cosmetics does not recommend using these types of products and methods of cleaning. This is a very aggressive way of cleaning. It can, and will, scratch, dull, and shorten the life of a finish. Polish should only be used on a clean, dry, surface and should only be used to repair damaged paint. One example of when polish should be used is when removing oxidation or scratches. Polish removes a small amount of finish every time you use it. Prolonged use of a polish can damage and shorten the life of your finish.

What are some of the benefits of waterless washing?
Waterless washing saves water and also saves valuable time by allowing you to clean your aircraft, RV, boat, or automobile without having to move it. You can wash and wax in the comfort of your hangar, garage, ramp, or driveway. As there is no excess water to leave water spots, you can clean the vehicle in sections at your leisure. You do not have to commit to cleaning the whole vehicle at one time. When you get tired of cleaning the vehicle, take a break and come back later to where you left off. There are no water spot issues when waterless washing so you can stop washing at any time. With the new Wash Wax Mop, there is no need for a ladder and you will not be polluting the environment with waste water runoff.

Will Waterless Washing Scratch The Finish?

Waterless washing will not scratch the surface when cleaning the normal dirt you get from everyday use. The typical type of dirt you will accumulate on your vehicle is road film (what you get after driving on roads and highways during rain), dust, finger prints, bird droppings, and tree sap. If your vehicle has been taken off road or driven down muddy roads, beaches, coastal areas, or has been exposed to road salt or anti-ice road gravel, we recommend that you rinse the vehicles surface with fresh water before waterless washing. Thoroughly rinsing the brushes used to wet wash vehicles at a car wash or at your home is also recommended. Abrasive material can get lodged in the wash brush or mitt and scratch the finish.
