How often do you waterless car wash

So, is it better than putting water+soap in a bottle and spraying it on? I guess that's sort of my hang-up. And is it something someone should look at that

And is it something someone should look at that doesn't wash or waterless-wash their car even every weekend? In other words, is a waterless wash something someone needs to do pretty much every other day/drive otherwise you are dirty enough that you should do a regular wash?

You can scratch your paint washing with soap and water; it's all in the technique. The key is suspending the dirt above the paint and separating it from further contact with the finish.

To answer your question - I only use waterless when my car is dusty/lightly dirty. A really dirty car, like one run through a rain storm, I only wash with water, although I have used waterless in a pinch.

It's really a function of using lots of product and towels.
