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.
Yes I'm aware of the traditional technique for washing a car - I did it for years and this is far far better but you'll only find that out if you try it. You can rinse a car as and your sponge as many times as you like but there will still be fine grit particles lurking on it and each time you rub them over the surface they scratch it. The waterless system removes this grit but prevents it scratching your paintwork in the process and it can be used in wet, dry and or sunny conditions. It also avoids those horrible hard water marks which always appear from beads of water which have been trapped in the exterior trim and trickle out over a period of time.

It is a Greased Lightning product called Showroom Shine and it's sold on TV and via Amazon, Ebay etc. IMO you'll find it very hard to find a negative review of this product anywhere unlike the mattresses......

Trust me, I was just as sceprtical as you and spent far too many years of my life doing the job the hard way and leaving swirl marks on my cars. I've used it on my latest car for years and there's no paint damage at all. Being a cynic, however, before I ever used it on my car I tried it on some polished stainless steel sheet left over from our new kitchen (notoriously easy to scratch!) with some builders sand rubbed into it. It never left a mark, now I'm sorry but anything that can do that is one hell of a product. Anyway, they way to find out for yourself is to try it, just like I did but that's your choice and one you offer your mattress customers for the very same reason - so they can see for themselves.....
