Dry Car Wash

Hi there

I know the products you are referring too and I am not aware of anywhere in Spain that you can purchase it from, but I have limited knowledge! Have you tried Amazon or other online retailers? 

Incidentally, check out Amazon Prime in Spain, its about €20 for the whole year which is much less than the £10 per month charge in the UK! I only had 3 orders delivered and got my €20 back by saving on delivery costs!

Hope it helps 

I find it a lot easier to use a petrol station car wash. Two euros for a wash and brillo, and you're done in a few minutes.

Lidl were selling it a Month or so ago when I was last out . . . they had a big cardboard display with car stuff in and it was in there.

I bring out the Williams version occasionally, good stuff!

The problem with any dry cleaner is that you have to rub it on. As cars here often have a coating of fine Sahara sand, all you're going to do is scour the paint finish.

Many thanks for your advice.

The whole ethos of this product is that it does not scratch the paintwork.

Somehow the product lifts the dust and grains of dust, and they get wiped away with the cloth. It does not take elbow grease to do it.

We have used this for several years in the uk on our car and caravan and have not noticed a deterioration in the paintwork.

Having said all that, I can see the benefits of going to the car wash too!

I will check on Amazon. And Into the Prime side of their marketing.

Many thanks for all the comments, and we may have to buy through Amazon.

Having done car detailing for some time now I can confirm that anything that doesn't remove the dirt/sand/fine grit before applying any pressure is going to damage the protective coating (polish and possibly lacquer) of any paintwork, often without being immediately visible to the eye. I can however say that the Miracle Dry Wash (IF it is the manual pump version I am thinking of) that was put together in collaboration with an F1 team provides amazing and excellent results!

Its a wet application but my advice to anyone using it is to rinse your application cloth very regularly or, as 'JimTaylor' points out, it IS doing damage to the finish. You see the 'Halo' effect on most cars in the sunshine.

My choice for this product is for spot application on a fairly clean vehicle, for people on the go (such as chauffeurs) and will become more expensive if used as the primary cleaning method.

As an alternative, you could try the "AutoRight EZ Wash" (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GTUPU5K/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=cstareg-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B00GTUPU5K&linkId=747833f1f77166c7c6df9a1af5951a8b) which is an equally excellent product and suitable for locations where water isn't readily available.

Please note though - DONT place the head directly on the floor... which in turn picks up grit and gravel which in turn you then rub all over your car!!! 

Hope it helps, its just a viewpoint. For me though, the stripping and re-application of the final polish is important, remembering that polish only highlights what is below so, for anyone serious about this, I recommend you use a quality clay and re-application of surface protector and a final polish covering. 

Thanks for your observations.  As you are a professional your research is interesting.

We will look at the other 'cleaner' product you mention with interest.

Here in Spain, our car is older and kept underground out of the sun. So the dry wash product suits the situation here.

Thanks for your time.

Not a problem. I wouldn't class myself as a professional, experienced yes, but professional no! But thank you for the kind works.

Its important to keep the protective layers in tact. The most effective deterrent of course is keeping it out of the direct sunlight as much as possible and as clean as you can 

Many thanks.
