Dry car wash products - what is the downside.
Pretty much as per subject - have seen various ones demonstrated with impressive results - they appear to be petroleum based.
Has anyone used them and if so what is the downside of the system?

Sureley without any water to flush away and lubricate the grit/dust paticles you are going to scratch the buggery out of the paint!?

Downside for me - I hate polishing cars and it is just the same - loads of elbow grease.
Upside - for a seven it means that you don't fill your car up with water whilst washing it with a hosepipe
Results are good too.

From what I've seen the dust and dirt is loosened and is dusted off, not rubbed off so paint doesn't get scratched.
As Mookaloid says it does seem to need some polishing however

too much effort
seems like too much effort, some care with water and a sponge for my haynes roadster woerks fine.
Life moves pretty fast, if you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

They're crap. Take ages to shine, clogs dusters up and if you rub a bit too vigourasly you ruin your paint, and yes, I am talking from a very
expensive respray experience.

It costs just £2 at asda to wash my tin top with their jet wash so not having a hose is hardly a problem
