Pilot1 - you can trust guys like Joe, reparebrise and Scott when they say that Waterless Washing is safe and effective. So I don't have to re-state all the positives of using waterless cleaners.

The biggest concern is avoiding any product that contains, petroleum or kerosene or any caustic lubricant. Waterless isn't synonymous with organic, so always ask what's in it.

Like Scott said, it allows you to be a lot more surgical with your cleaning efforts.

Now, I'd be lying if I told you that Waterless is ideal for 100% in every dirty car scenario, but NO product is. That's why you have hundreds if not thousands different choices in polishes, pads, glass cleaners, brushes, towels & etc.

Once I learned about the Waterless Detailing - I totally converted. Now I own a premium line of Waterless Organic cleaners. That's how much I believe in it. I love it and my clients love it even more.

Most of the time I use ONR to wash, every once in a while a traditional wash is needed.
I have found it works well to pull the car onto my lawn under our Crab Apple tree.
I use biodegradable soap, so I figure all the wash and rinse water will hydrate the lawn and out tree, plus its in the shade. My only problem from doing this is that i look like a total hillbilly with a car in the middle of the yard
Does anyone else do this or am I crazy?

For those of you equipped for it there is a great way to apply Bucket and Hose Less wash that we have been using in our shops for a few years. Use a HVLP spray paint gun at 20psi with a 1.0 needle and aircap set. This gives you great atomization and coverage, while using much less product than any pump sprayer could ever produce. The finer atomization has many benefits, including a more through coverage, (the as provided spray bottles are hit and miss to say the least) less overspray and product use.

IF you intend to re-use the gun to paint with be sure you use a product that does not contain silicone. With a water based BHLW be sure to use a gun that is compatible with waterborne paints and you will not have any problems.

Just today, I used ONR to wash my daily driver (unusually warm November mid-Atlantic weather). I used between 1.5 -2 gallons of water for the wash. I separately used a garden sprayer (about 1 gallon pressurized) to help rinse off the wheels (used Eagle One Wheel Cleaner). So for today, 3 -3.5gallons of water, 2 MF towels to dry, 1 MF towel for application of spray wax (booster) for a quick detail with very minimal runoff. I figured I have used a total of between 30-36gallons for the season.

can i get more info on "noble wash"?? i have been trying to go greener, but sometimes you need a PW and well, water. i would like to try a new product in my skid but i am not finding one that works well. i made the skid to hold 15 gallons and has a low pressure on demand trigger with 80º spray nozzle. it was working ok in the summer with a product i was using, but now with dirtier cars it seems to take forever. i am willing to try just about anything that some one has used on dirty cars and found that works well enough for mobile detailers.

You need to define "dirty" when using noblewash. Is it very dusty or does it have gritty dirt, etc...

A one time I was a 100% traditional car wash type of guy. I now wet wash cars maybe 20-30% of the time.

I don't believe I can offer the level of detailing I do 100% waterless.

I have 4 levels of car wash, 1-noblewash for cleaner cars, 2-ONR if dirtier, 3- noblewash tops and PW lower half or just very dirty areas of vehicle, 4- full blown traditional wash.
