Even though waterless car washing is not a new technology, many people are still unfamiliar with it. You may be wondering how someone can clean a vehicle without water and asking yourself; What is it? Is it safe? Is it effective? Would I benefit from using it? This article answers those questions for you.
What is a Waterless car wash and how does it work?
The nanotechnology behind waterless products is more advanced than the basic soap used for a car wash, as they compensate for the lack of large amounts of water. Therefore, the waterless method is considered to be more efficient than other cleaning methods.
Waterless car washes are eco-friendly and efficient because they use little or no water. This method of cleaning a car does not involve the use of a traditional hose and bucket. The name waterless refers to using less water, not an absence of water.
A traditional car wash can use 100 to 350 liters of water, while a waterless wash uses less than a liter. The product is applied with a small amount of water which then evaporates, leaving behind a layer that keeps the vehicle shiny and protected. With very little water required, this type of wash can be done at any time of the year, even in the winter.
This allows the car detailer to service your car in narrow or other unconventional spaces. In short, your car can easily be cleaned in your garage or driveway.
Is waterless washing safe for my car?
Absolutely! In a waterless wash, the product cleans through an emulsion process. This means it absorbs contaminants into the solution, which is then deposited on a microfiber towel. In that sense, it functions as a normal shampoo, except that it has a higher concentration of slickening agents to compensate for the lack of extra water. This protects your car’s paint when removing contaminants like dirt and debris.
Special waterless wash products capture dirt particles then lift them off the surface of your vehicle. As a result, this ability prevents scratches.
