I use Showroom Shine on my wifes Citroen and my caravan. It is brilliant stuff and leaves a very nice deep shine. It is very good on the plastic trims as well and does not leave grey marks or streaks. Once applied it does a good job of repelling the crap. It's quick as well. I can do the whole car in about 10 minutes. Only place i dont put it is the windscreen of course.

It is a great product to have in the locker or boot of the car. Great on the caravan, removes all the black streaks and brilliant on the windows inside and out. Also use it on bathroom mirrors, stops them steaming up. There are a lot that claim the same thing but Showrrom shine seems to do the job.

I use the Maguires version it fabuloso. Only use it if very lightly dusty though as its its no replacement for soap and water, the dust obviously does not disintegrate... |

I have been using proshine spray and shine from net parts seems to be doing a good job so far

That video does nothing to allay my fears of using waterless car cleaner sprays, the dirt must be collected in the cloth used to wipe it off so you are in effect wiping your car over with abrasives. |

The one I have seen does show wiping with one cloth and then buffing with another and they do say "use our tested microfibre cloth"....though I appreciate it's a huge leap of faith ! Is this where I put the car details and a bit about myself ?........ |

Let it get dirty then you can have a nice relaxing couple of hours man time washing it when you get home! Mine was a blue one! |

I don't think anyone with a bit of common sense would ever use the stuff on very dirty paintwork and I agree you need lots of micro-fibre cloths.

I use Eco Touch between main washes and it does a great job, always use small micro-fibre towels and have enough to keep changing to clean ones. Not had an issue at all with any damage to the paint work. They are used in many hot and sandy countries where water is at a premium or hard to access. Also works amazingly well on glass and household tv screens, mirrors etc. Tom

The water you save by not washing the car is used up in cleaning all the clothes you need to use instead.

If you're bothered about the paint, I'd be wary of totally waterless-washing if it was at all dirty. Been using Optimum No Rinse for some time (albeit not on the RR, which rarely gets washed) - using it is counter-intuitive but it works really well, and you can quickly do a car with a smallish bucket of water. |
