I am new to this forum and have read many threads on waterless washing. I notice many videos are available to show how waterless solution works - most claim waterless products are safe with the proper cleaning technique. I have bought a few products but have been hesitant to use it. Wanted to brainstorm ideas with anyone who has experience. What are some method I could use to test that the product will not scratch painted surfaced (with proper technique)?
I would like to find test method that I could use to show my buddies, cause they tend to be skeptical about products like this also.
My idea:
- find scrap body panel and treat it to eliminate any surface defects
- capture initial picture under controlled lighting
- leave the panel outside for a few days/weeks, to accumulate natural dirt
- use waterless car wash
- capture after picture and compare (look for scratched, swirls)
I'm looking for a quicker method that I may do on the fly. Please, rip my idea apart and offer any suggestions. I appreciate any insight.
Thanks in advance!
