Hi please can someone advise on topic
Products I have
Wolfgang Auto Bathe (used in a pump foam gun)
Wolfgang Waterless/Rinseless Uber Wash

My thoughts:
Water blast it first
Auto bathe (pump foam gun)
Water blast that off
Waterless wash

Does this sound ok?

Thanks
 
Has the car been on the road this whole time, or was it put away clean and has just been sitting? Any plans for a paint correction?

If it was put away clean and has just accumulated dust from sitting, I guess the waterless wash should be fine. But - To me, if you're already going to be using running water, I'd just do a standard bucket wash instead of the waterless wash. I'd use the multi-mitt method (stack of clean wash mitts in your wash solution, use 1 mitt for an area then discard it to your to-be-laundered bucket).
 
Can you let it sit out in the rain for a day?

Water has a great way of softening and dissolving stuff.


Besides that - your plan looked good to me. Kind of irrelevant how you wash it if you're also going to do paint correction.

Is it a modern car (after the 1980's)? If so I am with Mike, just clean it and the polishing will take care of any marring that was done. I would use your regular car wash soap, but add a few ounces of your favorite APC to help cut thru the grime. Use whatever gets clean the quickest - wash mitts, brushes, bug sponges, etc. It may take more than one wash get it really clean.
 
IMO: This is an example of where P21S
Total Auto Wash (TAW) will definitively
outstrip (pun intended) the competition. :xyxthumbs:

Thanks for your replies
Car has been sitting in the garage all this time dust settling and condensation i guess.
What i was going to do is wash the windscreen with waterless wash so i can see when i hopefully get started and take to get a new battery and drain the petrol.
It is booked in 4 days time for WOF and petrol draining and new battery (was flat and not in good condition before storage).
 
I'd do a traditional hose wash. Water gets in more places that way.
