Gunna get some hate here for multiple reasons but looking for some advice on good waterless carwash options.
Basically my Harley sits around a lot lately not being used and with living in units , giving it a quick wash isn't an easy thing to do. I'd like to be able to pop out to the garage once a week and give it a once over to keep it looking half decent without having the hassles a full on proper wash is going to cause me at the moment. Anyone got any recommendations? Cheers |

I found a mob selling stuff in supermarket carparks worked well, spray on, wipe off with a clean shine. https://www.fw1.com.au I think it was. Prydey's link is a good reference though.

Firstly though, "rinse-less" and "waterless" washing are two separate wash methods. Waterless washing involves no water, just a sprayable product and a bunch of towels. This the least safe of all washing methods, but can be done in a pinch with correct product choice and technique. Rinse-less washing does in fact use water, and depending on method, you wash the car in a similar way as a traditional bucket/soap wash. The difference being the washing solution is not rinsed from the vehicle at the end. Important to note that this method involves rinsing less, you can still pre-rinse the vehicle beforehand if desired. And this is where most people get hung up when it comes to rinse-less washing. For you, I would be looking into the "Garry Dean" rinse-less wash method. This will be a quick, convenient and SAFE method of washing. If you are new to this, check out the video below. In that case, he is using McKee's N-914, but any rinse-less would be fine. For a newbie, I would recommend Optimum No Rinse (ONR), it's basically foolproof. Just make sure to get the latest revision 5. If you want to go nuts, then check out Gyeon EcoWash or P&S Absolute. If you want something readily available, check out Bowden's Dry Spell. https://detailingshed.com.au/product...967753f3&_ss=r https://detailingshed.com.au/product...45126376358103 https://detailingshed.com.au/product...e&_ss=e&_v=1.0 https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/...E&gclsrc=aw.ds     Feel free to ask questions, it can be a bit weird when starting out with rinse-less, but it makes a lot sense for this sort of situation.
