Yes, I've used a few times and it works great.

My dad has a '97 Dodge Ram that he keeps in MINT condition and he religiously uses it.

I wouldn't use it if the car gets extremely dirty. If you keep your car garaged and/or it doesn't see much mud/rain, it's perfect.

A waterless carwash that comes as a liquid you spray in a fine mist on your paint to lift dirt/debris. Then you wipe it off.

It also fills/seals the surface, so the surface is extremely slippery. Once you use it, anything that gets on your paint is easily removable. It doesn't allow contaminants to easily bond with the surface.

You still need to keep a coat of wax though. It doesn't offer much scratch protection.

Prolong makes a product called: Waterless Wash n' Shine. This is also excellent! I use it on my "outside" cars. It's great and it will work on "medium" dirt. Leaves a great shine, etc.

Yes, it works pretty good. I use it as a "duster" and to keep the shiny look. My car is garaged at home and in a parking structure at work...so it gets a little dusty.

Ironically my other vehicle is a white '97 Ram, parked outdoors mostly...where can I get some of that stuff to try out?

Thanks!

Not sure. I usually steal some from my Dad when I run out.

It's not sold in stores as far as I know, it's sold by "independent reps". Try doing a search on the web, you should find some.
