Larry at AmmoNYC is a very knowledgeable, great YouTube channel, but his stuff is expensive. The way I have seen waterless/rinseless wash described is that the wash/soap encapsulates any dirt, and acts as a really good lubricant to avoid the dirt getting pushed around causing any scratches. I have a bottle of Optimum Waterless Wash, people seem to rave about how great it is, but I haven't tried it yet, I bought it to use as a clay bar lubricant/quick detailer. If I ever do a real rinseless wash, I would probably only do one wipe per side of a folded microfiber towel to minimize the chance of scratches.

I can only vouch for I use on our Caymans. For the last 2+ years, I've been using the Optimum No Rinse Wash & Shine, then finishing off with Griot's Best of Show Spray Wax, producing very good results.

Recently switched to the Wolfgang Uber Rinseless Wash, finished off with Car Guys Premium Hybrid Wax. Even better results, and the finish seems to last longer.

It is understandable that you would be hesitant to get on the waterless bandwagon, but if you research the process further and even dip your toe in, you may find that it is a hassle free and even superior way of keeping your Porsche sparkling.

BTW, stock up on edgeless microfiber cloths.

Just sayin'..........
