Why Waterless Washing with Wash Wax ALL Has a Significant Advantage

The Waterless System · Since 1987

When Wash Wax ALL was developed as the first waterless car wash in 1987, it wasn't just about formulating a product — it was about developing a complete system. By combining the formula, the Damp Towel Method, and the folding technique, this system delivers the ultimate waterless car wash, designed to clean safely, efficiently, and anywhere.

1. The Formula — How It Works

Wash Wax ALL uses advanced chemistry to:

  • Encapsulate dirt so it's lifted away from the surface
  • Lubricate the finish so your towel glides smoothly across the surface
  • Trap contaminants deep within towel fibers

Instead of grinding dirt into the surface, it's safely wrapped, lifted, and removed.

2. The Damp Towel Method — Added Safety

At the same time Wash Wax ALL was developed, the Damp Towel Method was created — adding an extra level of safety when conditions demand it. Think of it as your insurance policy when cleaning really dirty surfaces.

Why the damp towel works so well

A damp towel doesn't just wipe — it actively absorbs, pulls, and captures dirt more effectively:

  • Moisture helps absorb and channel encapsulated particles faster and deeper into the towel, pulling them further away from the surface
  • Reduces surface drag for a smoother, more controlled wipe across the finish
  • Improves performance on hot, dry, or heavily soiled surfaces
  • Minimizes streaking by preventing the product from drying too quickly, allowing you to control the drying process — which is key to preventing streaks
A damp towel absorbs and pulls dirt deeper, faster, and easier.

3. The Folding Technique — Maximum Efficiency

Folding the towel in half twice to form a square is a key part of the system:

  • Provides multiple clean sides in a single towel
  • Allows you to flip and unfold to fresh surfaces as it becomes dirty
  • Helps keep contaminants away from the surface during use
  • Maximizes efficiency by letting you get the most out of each towel before changing to a new one

How to Use the System

  1. Take a clean towel and soak it with water or Wash Wax ALL.
  2. Wring it out thoroughly — it should be damp, not wet.
  3. Fold the towel in half twice to create a square.
  4. Spray Wash Wax ALL onto the surface.
  5. Use the damp towel for the initial wipe to lift dirt.
  6. Follow immediately with a dry towel for a clean, streak-free finish.
  7. Flip and unfold the towel as it becomes dirty to expose clean sides for more efficient, gentle, and effective cleaning.

When to Rinse First

If there is a buildup of mud, sand, or road salt, rinse the vehicle first to remove heavy contaminants — not a full wash, just a quick rinse is usually sufficient. These conditions typically come from:

  • Mud — off-road driving
  • Sand — desert or beach environments
  • Road salt — winter roads that have been treated

Those are the situations where heavier, abrasive contamination can build up.

We coined the phrase "Wax As You Dry" to describe the method we developed: simply spray Wash Wax ALL onto the wet surface, then wipe it dry. This allows you to safely handle heavier dirt while still enjoying the speed and protection of waterless washing.

When in Doubt, Use a Damp Towel

For dirtier vehicles, sensitive surfaces, or challenging conditions, combining Wash Wax ALL with the Damp Towel Method delivers the safest, most effective clean possible.

Spray. Wipe. Protect. No hose. No runoff. No compromise.
