I do! If the car is really dirty I hit the touchless and do a follow up at home in the garage with the waterless stuff.

A waterless wash is a very safe and effective method of washing your vehicle when a bucket and hose isn't available.

The goal while performing a waterless car wash is to safely remove dirt and grime without scratching the paint. Pinnacle Liquid Crystal Waterless Wash Concentrate with Carnauba creates a very slick surface so dirt and grime can safely be removed without scratching the finish. You always want to use an ample amount of product while performing a waterless wash.
Working one panel at a time, spray a liberal amount of product directly onto the surface and wipe clean with a microfiber towel. I like the Gold Plush Jr. Microfiber Towel because its pile is thick enough to trap dirt and grit without causing unnecessary drag.

I also agree that technique means more than anything. I know there are a lot of pros who use and believe in rinseless and waterless washing techniques, but I'm not one of them. It's past my comfort level.

While I always prefer a traditional two-bucket hose wash when possible, it's not always an option. In cases where it can't be done, I personally am more comfortable using a rinseless wash such as ONR over any waterless washes. At least there is a minimal amount of water to flush heavier contaminants off the surface. But if you plan on doing this in the winter months, you'll have a lot of salt on your car that is beyond what I'd consider safe for rinseless or waterless. Go to a coin-op car wash and use ONLY their pressure wash feature (not the scrub brush!!!!) to blast most of the salt and road grime off the car. Then when you get home, proceed with your rinseless ONR wash.
