That's why you rinse it first, which gets rid of most of the grit. Then by using water you are washing the dirt away rather than rubbing it in as you would with no water.
It's not the waterless system that used to be advertised on the daytime tv adverts is it? Because I take most of those adds with a pinch of salt. Just like ther Dormeo mattress advert where they try and convince you that a cheap and nasty foam only mattress is worth a fortune.

No, I just do a proper job. Rinsing, washing, drying, waxing, wheels & tyres.
Only taking 10 mins is just being lazy

I'm sure you are happy with it, but I'm yet to be convinced. I spend 16 years in the metal finishing trade, and I know what can cause long term damage. Common sense says that by using no water you are rubbing the paint with dirt, grit and grime. It may look good in the short term, but I can't see it doing the paint any good long term.
