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:
Professional detailers use these waterless wash products on expensive cars.
If you're using the right type of towel, and preferably a new one, it's no problem.
I used a sponge, dunk it and hold it over each panel to soak the car before wiping it down.
I always use distilled water, dries clean. For the wheels, I use blue shop towels, also soaked. To dry I'll spray the car down with a quick detailer and buff with a long nap towel like the Griot's Garage green and blue towels. They sell otheir own waterless wash spray but its a little pricey unless you go for the big gallon sized container.
This is a great way to wash that only needs a light washing.

Optmium No Rinse (ONR) was the first to offer this waterless washing product. And for whatever reason other big brands did not jump in for a long time. Now everyone offers a version. Turtle Wax sells a waterless wash that I've purchased at Wal-Mart for like $4 during a promotion. You only need a few 1 oz. squirts.
