Anyone who knows about cleaning cars, knows this is a terrible idea. The moment you start to ‘spray and wipe’ a dirty car, you’re instantly scratching the paintwork.

[@carologywaterlesscarwash2054]

Not true I use waterless and rinseless both zero scratches he showed a very bad example

[@simondemaria24]

Not true. My friend bought his dream last year (Lamborghini Diablo) and only ever cleans it with waterless car wash product. True story.

[@swift2765]

That would scratch your paintwork to bits

[@simondemaria24]

Not if done correctly. Waterless carwsh has ben used for decades now. Many mobile car wash companies clean high end cars with this product. Sadly these guys did not use the correct technique lol. They should fold their microfibre cloth into 4 sides and strictly wipe in one motion with not much pressure.

[@BenjaminGoose]

The "positive electric charge" literally only works on dust, not actual dirt. Scam or just incompetent?

[@danielcowan4901]

Probably both

[@Ken-P]

That's alright on an already clean car but cleaning a dirty car like that would be like cleaning it with sandpaper.

[@littlecookie23]

I think it's meant to be a replacement for the ordinary wax that car valet places use that you have to let dry and buff off

[@joewas2225]

Nope, water is in the product just like any other spray product. But the spray itself wasn't what was on offer. They wanted to franchise.

[@tubester4567]

@@joewas2225 But its not enough water to remove dirt, so you would be wiping dirt over the car like sandpaper. Most car washes have a pressure washer that blasts off most of the dirt before you start rubbing. Or people at home hose off the car before rubbing. The only thing it could be useful for is for places like car dealers, where the cars are mostly clean and just need a shine.

[@dopamine-87]

Absolute joke of a product for cleaning anything remotely dirty tbh. Wonder howmany months it took for them to go broke. Some ppl invest in the most pointless products 🤦‍♂️

[@donchamers6916]

The paint work they used for the demo was barely dirty. What happens when somebody turns up with a car that looks like they've been rallying, covered in mud etc. How does a waterless cleaning system cope with that?

[@simondemaria24]

Hi Don, They don't cope with it mate. This type of product is suitable for light to medium levels of dirt on cars. Fantastic product and very eco friendly but if you're one of the very few cars going around rallying in mud them it's not for you.

[@kevinbissinger]

Yeah my first thought is "sorry, go somewhere else" a business only needs to serve a niche, not every possible scenario.

[@RigWig]

Why would theo invest 150,000 of his kids inheritance in a business, no wonder they call him Theo the fetus, he care about the kids

[@levaithan325]

That makes so much sense. I see why that’s his name

[@christophersmith49]

I like this name. I will invest two bottles of water and a bottle of rum for 80% share in this name. And we gonna franchise it out to t-shirt companies and we gonna expand to the US market and Asia

[@bluetimmy24]

7:38 "kid's inheritance" - and that's Bingo!

Surely the spray has water included in its ingredients, therefore it's not waterless. Or am I missing something?

[@mosthated863]

Even quicker you could use 1 jerry towel fold it in half and apply the spray on one side and wipe it off with the dry side and you will get a better finish. Try it yourself

[@ASH.......................1976]

Showroom shine does the same thing,no electric charge needed

[@abdulaziza]

What about heavy mud deposit? Under tray? It’s little confusing? Will it not more scratch rubbing and buffing it??

[@domformula1]

I think you’re absolutely right, it depends what is in the dirt, tackling certain patches of dirt that might have minute abrasive elements could do more harm than good. Plus not all paint is created equal - I’ve had cars I’ve only had to look at and the paintwork gets scratched 😂

[@Colby_0-3_IRL_and_title_fights]

I'm hoping it has some magical property to stop scratching

[@BenjaminGoose]

It's only designed for cars that have a little dust on them, not proper dirt.
