Hi - Onedrywash here. The product works great in direct sunlight (which is not a good idea when washing with water). All you have to remember when using it in the sun is to reduce the size of the cleaning area you work on, as explained on the box and on our site, as follows:
http://www.onedrywash.com/using_mdw.htm

"- In very hot weather it is better to work on small areas at a time.
- Do not spray on excessive amounts of Onedrywash.
- For best result use two cotton cloths, one for cleaning and one for buffing.
- Onedrywash can be used under direct sunlight. However, it will dry very quickly in which case we advise that you work on smaller areas."

All the best - Onedrywash (SJK Products)

Hi onedrywash, it is your product I bought and will be using it this weekend.  As you said it has caused a lot of discussion on here so I bet I am in line for a few freebies then!

Oh Ian!  I'm guilty!!  I sent the link of this thread and UKCS to onedrywash about a fortnight ago, as I thought it would be a good idea for then to reply to those who are more sceptical.  Therefore, if anyone is in line for a few freebies, the I reckon I should be just in front of you in the queue!! 

Seriously, I am glad that they have found their way here and I hope they have made those who are a little sceptical a little bit more at ease with the product.  I did the car with it the other day.  It came out really well.  It actually took me longer to do the car than the caravan.  The trouble with cars is that there are so many nooks and cranny's - it always takes me ages.

Sorry will not be taking it back to France(Ardeche) this year, most unsuccessful in the extreme heat.

Not true! Onedrywash works great in direct sunlight. Just work on smaller areas at a time as it says under 'helpful hint' here: http://www.onedrywash.com/using_mdw.htm

Just wish the sun would come out for long enough to test this out.   It's great on the black streaks left after the rain though - I can absolutely vouch for that!  I gave someone a quick 'black streak' demonstration on their van this weekend.  The person concerned and a friend who came to look were both taken by the ease of use and effectiveness.

Hi - it's Onedrywash here, manufacturers of the waterless car and caravan cleaning product of the same name that seems to be causing so much discussion in here, so thank you everyone for that!

CandP, I just want to make the point that, from time to time, new ways of doing things come along, and that's progress. Sometimes, however, new ideas are misunderstood and take a while to get accepted. Take, for example, Darwin's theory of evolution; the fact that the Earth revolves around the Sun and not vice versa; and the idea that the Internet will ever be of any use to anyone (see this 1995 Newsweek article that said just that! http://www.newsweek.com/id/106554 ).

Onedrywash also fits into that category for some. The truth, however, is that:

1) Onedrywash contains NO fillers. If it contained fillers and we didn't declare that fact on the box, we'd be sued, obviously.

2) It is endorsed by Autoglass, approved by Boeing and has just been endorsed by Paintseal Direct whose 'approved by' logo we will soon show on the box. I don't think you will find other waterless vehicle cleaning products with such endorsements.

If there's anything else you need to know, please get in touch by e-mail or by phone.

All the best,

Onedrywash (SJK Products)

The action of wiping with very little water is a known to scratch paintwork, the dirt particles are very fine so it will not be easy to see. But belive me it WILL be scratching the paintwork. The product has fillers in that will detract from the fact that there are scratches.

Basically you are wiping dirt of with a mechanical action, using friction to remove the dirt. The only way to remove this is by applying pressure to the vehicle which will press the dirt back in....simples.

Just read about it on vehicle detailing forums, the guys who care about their paintwork and they will not touch it with a barge pole......

---

Oops, got the company wrong above that Onedrywash is endorsed by - have put in the correct company name now (Paintseal Direct). Sorry about that.

worked great on our van looked great

only thing that we think is pants is the actually spray gun thingy as it stops working really easily

 Eh, did try it in small areas and stand by my observation, it does NOT  work well in extreme heat.

---

I'll be giving it a go as I don't have a water supply at the storage compound and don't want to be carrying loads of water containers in the boot of my motor, furthermore we don't really need to worry too much about extreme heat in this country.

Question for onedrywash (from a convert trying to make sense of what appears to be some disagreement here!)

blueexpo97 is concerned about using the product in 'extreme heat'.  One drywash have replied by saying that Onedrywash works great in direct sunlight.  Could it be that 'extreme heat' and 'direct sunlight' may not really be the same thing here?  Direct sunlight in the middle of winter in the UK is unlikely to be as warm as a summer day in the Ardeche when there is cloud about.  Also, I wonder if onedrywash is effected by humidity.  In the UK, as we are an Island surrounded by water, the humidity here is often greater that in the South of France, where the heat (to me) appears a lot drier.  Someone with more knowledge than I about the effect of climate on products such as this may be more qualified to comment. 

After saying that, the product appears to have been developed from stuff that they clean planes with in the desert where water has a more vital use, so presumably it works OK where it's warm - but then there are cold deserts, or times of the day (or rather night) when even 'hot deserts' get really cold.  Perhaps the Americans clean their planes in the desert at dusk when it's less hot??

I do think it is important to ask all the questions and to realize that every single product that has ever been made must have it's limitations - from Arial washing powder, to Pollyfiller and even Onedrywash!  Just a few thoughts... from a onedrywash fan.
