Default dry wash ...

Anyone use the 'dry wash' for cleaning the outside of the cars? I saw a guy down the street using it. Anyone know where to get it?!?

Have you ever taken a shower without the water?

Default This stuff is awesome...

however, I only use it if the extent of my car being dirty is water spots, or bird crap...

I sometimes speedshine the car after I wash it... adds more shine, w/o a full waxing. I also use the speedshine in conjunction with their clay bar.

I really recommend this stuff.

But like I said I would NEVER use it on a really dirty car. At least not mine...

good thing your clothes aren't clear-coated.
