Waterless Cleaning Systems

Since we're probably all looking down the barrel of a hosepipe ban at some point soon, are there any recommendations for Waterless Cleaners?

I'm primarily going to use it on the family wagon which does get pretty grubby at times so it needs to be up to the job although I'm not too precious about the odd swirl, etc

Saw a recommendation for this one but wondering if there are any others you'd suggest?

Not convinced these products are much use, but depends on how much one values the paint work. Its not washing away the dirty its sticking it to a cloth. I have tired some before on my old banger E39 and binned them. Get a bucket.

I've used ONR (Optimum No Rinse) to good effect when I've had no other way to wash the car before a show.

...but I wouldn't use any of the waterless methods as a regular thing...

Plus 1 for 'get a bucket'. I tried waterless on my previous daily golf several years ago. OK for a quick one, but it seems to leave a film which at some point you have to get off, plus there's a risk of scratching. Apologies but not for one's pride and joy.

Cheers

Southern Water here so already had a ban for 2 weeks. The B5 is filthy but I'd rather leave her that way until I can do my usual snow foam and jetwash again. If desperate I will drive to my folks and use their hose. At least I can avoid swirls knowing it is clean under the dust!
