Interesting, to say the least.

I've heard of the Tweel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tweel).

a friend of mine told me about it that is available in muscat unfortunately, the number on the bottle isnt working. And frankly, he was washing his car and polishing at the same time. it took him only 15 min. I wasnt interested cause it was DIY stuff and wanted to know where the service is provided.

Hmmm waterless car wash - that's either very good for the environment by not having to waste so much water, or its very bad because it replaces water with bad bad chemicals...

Our Waterless Car Wash products do more than just clean and shine your car, they bring out the brilliant colors in your paint, protect it from the elements and keep it cleaner longer.

No Wet is a product that was developed in the US over a decade ago. With Australia experiencing the worst drought since the arrival of white civilisation, it is no wonder that a Waterless Car Wash product should attract interest. Although licensed from the American manufacturer and repackaged in South Australia, there has been talk of securing the rights to make the product locally down under. Essentially it is made of 17 different elements, of which the main players are Carnaubra Wax and Kaolin Clay. Indeed all of the recipes ingredients are said to be natural. It is claimed not to contain petroleum distillates (kerosene), silicone, abrasives, or other harmful chemicals. Apparently it works because the wax acts as an emulisifier and encapsulater of dust and dirt particles. This lifts them off the surface paint, where they can be wiped away with a polishing cloth. The suggestion is that a 32oz (1 litre) bottle of the stuff will wax, wash, polish and seal well over a dozen cars, which normally might’ve used thousands of gallons of water to wash. And we’re told you end up a showroom sheen on your metal chariot. No Wet Australia has been establishing the business over the past few years. Given that many Australian metropolitan and rural cities have imposed water restrictions limiting the volume of water used to clean cars, their timing seems very opportune. Available both as a DIY or a fully serviced product

Lucky Earth Products has come up with a liquid, called Green Earth Waterless Car Wash, that lets you wash your car without buckets, hoses, brushes, or gallons of water. The compound--made out of water, coconut extracts, silicone, and a bit of salt--gets misted onto your car. Once there, it attracts dirt via electrostatic principles and encapsulates it. The owner then wipes their car with a soft cloth.

A $20 jug containing 32 ounces of the liquid is good for about 10 car washes. Additionally, the company has liquids for cleaning tires (Tire Shine) and stains (Oopsie Baby).
