Interesting, as there seems to be much debate at present regarding waterless washes...

That orange stuff looks like over diluted Autosmart Tango.

In the video he comments to his mate that "its already started breaking down the dirt"

what the sand? it is Dubai after all.

also, whats this about washing your car with "a dirty rag and salty water, and you are just rubbing salt into the car"?

sorry not for me.

Did I hear him right, they wash 200-300 cars a day??

Looks like tango to me too.

Hmmm,

just another typical Media report trying to sensationalize a bit of advertising BS.

Ok for a moments entertainment .. but ..
In these sort of areas, its not really Dirt , like we know it ,,
its sand/dust. and very dry ..?..
so it must be a sort of showroom shiney type squirty stuff.

like to see then have a go at my "proper" dirt

( mud)
I get on my ZT

But hey if they are taking money off them Rich Arab's ..
Good luck to them ..

This is what these products were designed for, dry, smooth sand and dust, not muddy gritty UK conditions. Thats why i wont use them. They still scratch even there, but since a dirty car can fail their MOT its a compromise they have to make!
