Using just this kit, I was able to get the exterior of my car from relatively clean, to looking freshly washed and shiny in about 20 minutes. The included towels are nice size, but I wish they included a third towel for the glass. The wash and the glass cleaner smell really good as well. The tire treatment is extremely shiny and my least favorite part of the package.These products work well together for a quick detail in between your regular washes. I recommend starting with the tire treatment so it's almost dry when you finish the rest of the car. Spray the waterless wash and wax on to a section of the car, gently wipe off the grime with a folded portion of one of the microfiber towels, then dry with the other towel, flip over to buff, and then repeat on the next section. This is best done in the shade as you don't want the solution to dry. I also wouldn't want to use this on a car that is particularly dirty. It does a good job of removing dust and light dirt and restores that just washed look without having to break out the hose and buckets. Glass cleaner works well - easily removed some dog drool from my rear window and dried streak free. You just spray on the tire cleaner and the foam dissolves leaving the tires looking wet for days; I prefer a less shiny look myself. Be careful not to use too much - the overspray made it more difficult to dry wipe the brake dust off my wheels; it also left spots on my white concrete driveway.

Okay, let’s look at this Meguiar's Waterless Wash kit. It’s not the first Meguiar's product I use and I always had great results. This time is no different. I got this waterless wash kit specifically to maintain my Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R. Owning a bike means keeping it looking as aggressive and pristine as it performs. But anyone who rides regularly knows that even a short trip can leave a bike covered in dust, road grime, and bug splatter. I don’t always have the time to give it a full wash, so I was looking for a waterless solution to keep my bike clean between proper details. Meguiar’s Waterless Wash Kit seemed like a perfect option, offering a way to clean the paint, glass, and tires without water. Right out of the box, I liked how well-rounded this kit is. The waterless wash has a slick formula that helps reduce the risk of scratching, which is critical when dealing with a sportbike’s glossy fairings. I started with a light layer on the bodywork, wiping with the included microfiber towels, and it did a great job lifting dust and minor grime without leaving streaks. However, anything heavier - like dried mud or thick bug splatter - needed extra effort, and I had to be careful not to rub too hard. The glass cleaner worked perfectly on the windscreen and mirrors, leaving them crystal clear without smudges. The tire shine, on the other hand, is something I would never use on motorcycle tires. While it gives a deep black gloss, anything that makes tires slick is a no-go for bikes, so I put it aside to use later on my car’s tires. Overall, this kit is excellent for light maintenance, but it’s not a one-size-fits-all solution. The sprayer nozzles feel a little cheap, and I wouldn’t rely on this kit for deep cleaning after a long ride in the rain or heavy road grime. That said, for quick cleanups, especially if you store your bike indoors and just need to keep it looking sharp, it’s a solid product. If you own a sportbike and want an easy way to maintain its shine between full washes, this kit is worth considering - just skip the tire shine on the tread.Bottom line:Meguiar’s Waterless Wash Kit is a great option for keeping a sportbike clean between full washes. The slick formula minimizes scratching, effectively removes dust and light grime, and the glass cleaner works flawlessly on windscreens and mirrors. However, it struggles with heavier dirt like dried mud or bug splatter. The included tire shine isn’t safe for motorcycle tires but works for cars. While the sprayer nozzles feel a bit cheap, the kit is excellent for quick touch-ups - just don’t expect it to replace a full wash after a messy ride. Overall it’s a great product, I highly recommend it and give it 5 stars!Pros:1. Quick and easy for light cleaning.2. Slick formula reduces scratches.3. Removes dust and minor grime well.4. Glass cleaner leaves no streaks.5. Includes microfiber towels.Cons:1. Struggles with heavy dirt and bug splatter.2. Sprayer nozzles feel cheap.

Three good products for the quick cleanup in-between washes. For retail available car care products these are perfectly fine and effective at getting your car looking good. The glass cleaner has always been a go-to and does a great job at creating a streak free shine. It’s best to use two microfibers- one with the product sprayed onto the window and clean the window with the first towel and then follow up with the second towel to remove any residue to achieve the perfect clarity. The waterless wash is great at removing surface buildup such as dirt or road grime, but does not have the power for mud or cars with significant dirt and and grime. But for a quick wipe down this is a great option for you to spray a little onto the paint and wipe clean with a microfiber. Always spray the microfiber with a little product as well to prevent scratching and swirling. As for the tires, this is the entry level tire shine and works best of the tire is already clean but will cover up dirt if you spray and let the foam do its thing then wipe clean with a towel to buff the tire to a nice shine. All in all for a good solution to a quick clean, this kit offers the basics and at a nice price offering a good value. Are there better products on the market- yes. But these are also good products and for most car owners, these will be a nice upgrade from the orange colored bottles.

I have been using Meguiar's products on my Mustangs for years and highly recommend them. I live in Los Angeles and car washes are not only going out of business but also a waste of money costing on average $30.00 per wash these days. Also, washing your car in the street, or at home, in Los Angeles with water and soap running off into the storm drains can be ticketed... but people do it anyway.The solution: Meguiar's Waterless Wash Kit delivers on the promise of "No Water. No Worries." This kit is a must have for both excellent results and saving money. You don't need to use half a bottle either. A little goes a long way and this kit should last you for months if used correctly and sparingly.The Microfiber Towels along with the wash and wax will give you a professional shine.Please Note: I would recommend cleaning off any grime or surface dirt before you use the Waterless Wash kit. We have gardeners and landscapers around the clock in Los Angeles and the incessant leaf blowers blow dust, dirt and debris on my Mustangs, but I have Meguiar's on my side and will continue to buy.
