Default Waterless car washing.

Hi Guys,
Just seen this on you tube:
YouTube - Style Magic waterless 4 panels soapysmooth carmagic.com.au

Would this type of washing wreck the paint on your car?

What do you lot think?

Saw a similar product being advertised on QVC, looked good on screen but can't help to think you would be rubbing dirt on your paintwork and scratching it.

There's a few of those products in use over here. Some are ok, some are bad. Typically they leave a film of some sort on the car, which is hard to remove and they can induce swirls a lot easier, especially if the car is really dirty.
I certainly wouldn't reccomend them if you're allowed to wash your car with water.

My thoughts on waterless washing here...

...not something I recommend.
