Waterless washing systems.

After having our trailer washed, we’re thinking of maintaining it in between washes with one of the waterless spray on/wipe off washing systems out there. (i.e. the Mary Moppins system we use on our previously owned motorhome) Has anyone had experience with this?
T.I.A.!

Aero Cosmetics

This is what I use on the Airstream and all my vehicles. It is also great on all the interior surfaces. It is on Amazon https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The product website is here
https://washwax.com/pages/faq#:~:tex...ro%20Scrubber.

I have used eight gallons of it in the last three years and could not be more satisfied with the results. I figure if it is good enough for aircraft it should be okay for my application.

Thank you! Looks great! It’s currently out of stock on Amazon... we’ll check other sources.

+1 on Aero Cosmetics. I don’t use it if there is grit on the trailer but otherwise no water is necessary. Generally I rise it off first and then let Was Wax do it’s magic https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00X04JRMU...MNFYQTPZ47S8CT

This is exactly what I do as well and that kit you listed is what I buy for re-fills.

I've been using Griots Garage waterless wash on the motorhome but it is fairly expensive, and can only be used for light dirt, nothing like heavy deposits from driving in the rain etc. First I dust with California Duster then apply the Griot's generously then wipe off in one direction with clean microfiber cloths. The stuff No Noise linked looks interesting and I may give it a try when available. I could be wrong but I didn't think any of them work on heavy, rained on dirt. The Griot's implies it is mainly for a clean vehicle that may have got some dust on it on the way to the car show

You are correct, none of the waterless systems recommend washing with grit and dirt. If you read through the FAQ on the Aero Wax website it specifically recommends against cleaning with dirt and grime. Always rinse first, I guess it is not for everyone, but it is a pretty good product in my opinion.

Best of luck to everyone searching for a new way to make life easier. Please share any ideas with the rest so we may learn from you.

Time for a Margarita!
