The Bottom Line
Bayes Waterless Vehicle Wash is an effective, green cleaner. If you don't already wash your vehicle regularly (whether for the environment or your wallet's sake), this Bayes product has given you a great reason to start.
For vehicles cleaned with this car care product on a regular basis, we can't say there's any better alternative. It cleans, shines, and protects any vehicle that is regularly washed and cared for. However, if your car is heavily soiled, hasn't been washed in weeks, or has just made a long trip, we'd opt for the automated car wash first.

Guide Review - Bayes Premium Waterless Vehicle Wash
Effectiveness:
Bayes Premium Waterless Vehicle Wash does exactly what it claims to do: It cleans, shines, and protects, all while protecting the environment from unnecessary water contamination and waste.
This waterless vehicle wash is very capable of removing dirt and grime, as well as producing a high-luster shine. It worked well cleaning my car's exterior, tires, rims, windows and windshield, though I noticed some streaking if the cleaner wasn't wiped away quickly enough.
If you don't often wash your car, you'll notice that Bayes won't effectively clear away all the grime. On a vehicle we tested that hadn't been washed in several weeks, we noticed the cleaner didn't remove crusted-on insects and other grime, and ended up heading for an automated wash.
The main thing to emphasize about Bayes Waterless Wash is that you absolutely HAVE to use it on a regular basis to get the most out of it. Since one 16 oz bottle will clean 5 to 10 cars, you'll find that giving your car a quick cleaning once a week won't cost you much in time or money.
Green Factor:
Between saving 50-150 gallons of water per wash, the eco-friendly list of ingredients and the fact that this product is made in the US, we've determined this product to be an extremely eco-effective alternative to other car washing methods.
Other notable aspects of this product are that it is biodegradable, and is packaged in Type 1 Plastic - a commonly recyclable material.
Ingredients: Water, Polymer Emulsion, Citrus Based Solvent, Preservative
