A “waterless” car wash cleans the bodywork without a hose or a customer water supply, using thick microfiber towels soaked in demineralized water and a Quick Detailer spray finish. Albert Wash adapts the passes to the vehicle’s condition for careful cleaning at home or work.
“Waterless” means no hose or customer water supply
For Albert Wash, waterless means no hose, no rinse with running water and no water supply to provide. We use about 1.5 L (roughly 50 US fl oz) of demineralized water to soak thick microfiber towels, plus finishing sprays. The low mineral content helps reduce limescale marks.
Our three-step method
- Clean with a well-soaked microfiber towel. The first pass uses a towel soaked in demineralized water to remove dirt. For dirty or very dirty bodywork, we make two or three additional passes with a well-soaked towel before moving on.
- Wipe with a second towel. A different microfiber towel, wet and then wrung out, is used to wipe the bodywork.
- Apply the finishing touch. A final pass with a Quick Detailer spray adds shine and finishes the surface.
The preparation and number of passes are tailored to each vehicle’s condition.
The benefits of a waterless wash
- No water supply needed: the service takes place at your home, at the office or in your parking lot.
- Very little water: about 1.5 L of demineralized water to soak the microfiber towels, without connecting to a water supply.
- No trip to a car wash: your vehicle is cleaned where it’s parked, while you get on with your day.
- A self-sufficient service: battery-powered equipment also handles interior vacuuming, with no power outlet.
Care tailored to your bodywork
For very dirty bodywork or deposits of mud or sand, send photos before your appointment. We plan the preparation and passes needed. Mention matte paint, protective film or an existing surface treatment so we can select suitable products and finishing steps.
