Well, there's no guarantee that there won't be any scratching. But the product claims to have polymers to aid with lubricating. I currently use it on light dust, and use plenty of it, but not saturated, and wipe in one direction. The feel from using it is similar to washing with soap, the smoothness, gliding, and such.

Someone help me understand how this is "waterless" when it's a concentrate diluted with, um, water?!
Maybe it's just me, but I can't wrap my head around washing a car without first hosing off dirt & dust first.
I keep picturing an 800 grit wash cloth putting all kinds of swirl marks in the paint.
I'm glad you like it but this is me: :chicken:

I used to be chicken about this too. This product has two different instructions on the back, one is for kinda like a quick detailer, the other is for rinseless wash.
I think what they mean about "waterless" is that you don't need to use water to rinse before or after the soap part. There's a ready to use bottle for this product, which requires no additional water to apply, but of course concentrate is much cheaper. My currently strategy is light dust, plenty of lubricant, and plenty of towels. I used all 8 sides of the towel, one per small panel, and only used one towel for the car.
