Interesting way to clean my new Q5
A friend recommended Griot's Speed Shine to clean my Q5 without having to use water. I've used it a few times and does seem to work really well. Unless the car is utterly filthy or mud covered it takes the place of a car washing. Plus it great for bug splats or other minor issues without having to do the whole car. What do you guys think of this product? Am I blinded by the light...

Been using waterless wash-several brands-for about 10 years. It has made my detailing obsession very manageable. |
I have used Griot’s products in the past on my Triumphs. Thank you for reminding me about them. I’ll be using them on the SQ5 as well. |
I like to Optimum No Wash when I do a quick exterior cleaning. It works great when the car is lightly dirty and I can get through the entire thing in about 1 hour.

+1 Optimum No Rinse works great....finding it very useful during Winter, when too cold to drag hose outside; this has worked well when temps in upper 20s. |
I've considered the waterless products but worry about scratching. Any thoughts on that?

no issues in the past few years....I use about 5 microfiber rags: use one to clean one large area, then another clean rag for another area....I don't reuse the rags during that session....there are plenty of videos (everyone has their own technique) |
Ammo has a new waterless system. A bit pricey as expected for ammo, but the reviews are pretty universally awesome, also as expected for ammo

I use it for just light dirt/grime and go through 15-20 microfiber towels just for the initial wipe, then 7-10 large waffle weave drying towels. I also do the pre-soak method by putting some of the solution in a spray bottle and spraying it on the area I'm about to clean. Let that sit for a few min then clean it. |
Looks like it's all about the microfiber towels. Thanks everyone!
