I would recommend RINSELESS wash. Basically it’s a bucket full of waterless wash. Dip about 5-10 MF towels into bucket of solution and wipe car down. It’s quick an simple and haven’t had much marring issues.
I use a pump sprayer and pre spray car before doing.
Wolfgang Uber or Uber Sio2 rinseless washes would be a good choice.

Have you tried other waterless in a foaming sprayer? Never tried it but I now remember that Larry suggest using frothe that way.

Yeah only way I use frothecand love it. Most standard waterless or rinseless won’t foam. Their seem to be more that do on the market. 3D has one.... ADG has a soap that works in a bucket and as a Foaming waterless, Fusion i believe.
Theirs a thread on here or Autopia re cently about foaming waterless washes

Which WW did you use?

Here's what I do... And while my method will make many of you here cringe, it works for me and my truck always looks good and is essentially swirl-free. 100% swirl-free on a driven black vehicle is impossible over the long haul, but periodic light polishing's will refresh the finish to near perfection.
My first step (and here's where the cringing begins) is to remove any loose dust/contamination with a California Car Duster. I then follow with Meguiar's D115 "Rinse-Free Express Wash and Wax" diluted 4:1 (4 parts water to 1 part product) and used like you would use a quik detailer. Mist it on - wipe it off.
This process works good enough for me that I can't even remember the last time I used a hose and did a conventional wash. I do conventional washes occasionally, but generally only when I want to hose off the undercarraige, wheel wells, jambs and the like.
In my opinion, cleaning the loose dust from the vehicle with the California Car Duster before touching the finish in any other way is the safest way to minimize swirling, short of a full, gentle, conventional washing.
I also have two black Harley's that I maintain the same way.
Lol, I won't lie, I'll still use my old California Duster on mine the next day if I washed and waxed it and basically put her in the garage shortly afterwards. That's about it anymore. I used to use it all the time many years ago before I started correcting the paint on my cars. You couldn't tell that it was putting scratches on the paint back in the day because nobody had corrected paint in the 80' & 90's lol. I remember going to a 500 World of Wheels one year in the late 90's and seeing a Chevelle that had this perfect paint job. I thought, "how can it look that good?". That's around the time I researched ways to make your paint look good. I'm pretty sure that's about the time I would see Mike Phillips on TV discussing car care.

No. I have used Optimum No-Rinse for about 8 years now. This summer I switched to McKee's 37 N-914. So far I can't really see a difference between the two when I use them (which is a very good thing).
I decided to switch because N-914 doesn't leave any protection behind which makes it more versatile. Especially because I do a lot of ceramic coatings so not having to worry about remove protection I just applied doing the wash is a good thing.
I don't know why I would want to use Echo as a rinseless though. It's a more expensive product.

Re: Waterless wash or just water
If your car has a substantial amount of mud, dirt, sand, and dust, that has caked on or has accumulated over time, a car wash without water isn’t advisable. Because merely wiping them with a waterless wash would result in scratches on the paintwork.
