Driwash is a spray-on wipe-off product, and it works well if your bike is already clean. It should not be used on a dirty bike, or the grime just scratches the paint. If you have to wash the bike already, I don't see the point in it. It is a great polish and wax, but even the company recommends washing first if the bike is quite dirty. The company does recommend it for use when the bike is only moderately dirty, but if you are worried about swirl marks, this product should definitely be avoided.

I use it,
I love it,
I just bought more of it!
Great for those black lines you get on a white trailer. I have used it on both bikes, my corvette, and work pickup.
The stuff is just like a sore peter...you can't beat it!

I just used a new (to me) product from ProtectAll. It is their Quick & Easy wash "no rinsing" concentrate. I put one capfull in a 2 qt. spray bottle. Just spray on, use a micro-fabric cloth to wipe off & another one to dry. It"s the easiest wash & best shine I have ever gotten, & I have tried everything.

Turtle Wax also makes a Waterless Wash.Wal-Mart carries it.It does a pretty good job for the most part,tho I think I have seen a very few fine line wipe marks on tank.I do use a micro-fiber cloth to apply it and an old t-shirt(soft cotton) to dry.It's still better than using a water hose to wash. I'll never use water on a bike again. Causes too many electrical problems down the road. Water gets in everywhere there's an opening, and trust me you'll pay for it later somenight ur ready to leave to ride and ya hit the switch and ..........nuttin !!!!!!

Is anyone interested is a waterless wash that will NOT scratch your paint? Wash and polish in one easy step.

Another one to try is called Wet Paint. I have used it for a few years now and it is great on my vehicles. Best of all it leaves no white streaks on flat or matt black surfaces. I would not recomend any of the washless cleaners/polishes on a heavely soiled bike. But for quick in between clean and shine they work great and are very fast to apply and remove.

I personally wouldn't use a microfiber towel for anything. Always use 100% cotton on my painted and chromed surfaces
