Okay boys and girls, The Junkman is back with another video series. This time I cover the proper technique of using a waterless wash product on your paint without damaging the paint. A lot of people experience scratches when using waterless wash products (even detail spray), because they use it at a inappropriate time. Adam's Waterless Wash is an outstanding product and will yield exceptional results when used at a time that it was designed for. However, if you use it at a time when your car should be 2-bucket washed instead, you could end up being your paint's worst enemy. It is not the product that is at fault, it is your technique.

There are 2 types of dirt that will end up on your car: dust and everything else (everything else as in mud, film, a herd of bird droppings, etc...). Waterless Wash is made for dust. Things like finger prints or something else that has just landed on your paint (like that special sauce from a Big Mac :willy:), can also be removed with Waterless Wash. If a major area of the car is covered with anything else, you need to wash it, especially a car covered with a dirt film (which is what you find covering the car after driving it in the rain). A caked on spot of something like bird droppings can be removed using Waterless Wash but you have to soak the spot real good and make sure that the substance is fully diluted enough to remove. Rubbing on it too soon will do nothing but scratch the paint.

Common sense is the key here. I can't list all the situations that Waterless Wash can be used for but after watching these videos, you will have a good idea. With that said, on to the videos!

I have a ton of videos and write-ups. I have just never posted them here before, unless they pertained to the repair of the C5 (not paint maintenance). You should check out those too.

I have always just wiped it off in the past and now I see that is not the way to do it. Better late than never I guess.

The reason most folks do it wrong is because the damage is gradual. It sneaks up on you and then one day, you look at you paint and wonder how it got so crappy looking.

Make sure that you don't sit at You Tube and just watch the videos because when you do, you miss the information that is posted within the threads where the videos are originally posted. This is very important! If you can't find the original threads, just let me know and I will direct you there. :thumbsup:

After looking at the videos and thinking about it logically, it is really nothing earth shattering about it, wouldn't you agree? I'm not showing anyone anything that is rocket science, it totally common sense!

I'm surprised more folks don't realize it while they're doing it, especially when the damage starts showing up.
