I wouldn't entertain a waterless wash, ever! Damage can be easily inflicted depending on the type/manufacturer of paint, even when following a strict wash process. Even being used at shows to freshen a car up, after driving it there. The car is dirty, rubbing this off the paint will scratch it. I've also seen examples of the residue these products can leave behind when they have been used to clean a car regularly and it comes to having them detailed and machine polished correctly.

 

Put it this way, for example, GTR's have very soft paint. Even after machine polishing a panel, so you can be sure the panel is not only 100% clean, but also defect free. Depending on what type of micro fibre cloth is used to buff off the residue, you can marr the paint if your not careful.

 

If you are looking for an easy approach to maintain the Finch and Fezza, have XPel self healing paint protection film applied. Its not cheap, but neither were the cars and you can be sure this product will offer an unbeatable level of protection and maintenance for them.
