You thought you needed water to wash your car. Well...perhaps that is about to change. A new field of "[waterless" car wash products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uno-minda-1) is growing in the [auto care industry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/griots-garage). Why does this matter? Well, just think about it.

- people who live in cities/apartments can now easily wash their car without hose + bucket
- significant time savings

I've checked out these products and have been impressed thus far. Easy to use and more economical than running to the carwash everytime your vehicle gets dirty.
