I've never trusted these "waterless" wipes.
You need to ensure all grit and grime is loosened or shifted first otherwise you just cover the vehicle with microscopic scratches when you come to wipe off surface contaminants. More critical on cars I guess but I still prefer the old fashioned way after a soaking in snow foam pre-wash first.
Assumption from me "is" you wash bike as normal...then finish detail with them....not for one second would I advocate using these directly on to dirt...but again assumed all on here were far too intelligent.
I used them yesterday after washing and the delight comes from the fact they treat all surfaces...paint...plastics...glass etc. They enhance the experience...but not a substitute for a safe wash first.
Only heard great reviews. Will treat myself and the bikes to a tub.
Anything that make Diane's Night Flouro wheels easier 😂
Baby wipes from Sainsburys for me. 60p for a pack of 64 and shift all manner of muck.

This is true.
Agreed anyone with minimal intelligence and mechanical sympathy should know not to use them to actually "clean" yet this is exactly what their website and eBay advert claims. Can't see it somehow. There's no such thing as a miracle one step cleaning system.

Don't mention them....... I mentioned them once but I think I got away with it!!
I don't need professional level clean, I just want it to look better than when I started. Give it a good rinse, spray on SDOC100 and go for a brew, rinse off, dry off and use wipes on any stubborn dirt. Stick it back in the garage for a few more months and go and sit on the sofa.
You lot are beyond help...I offer joy...you return misery...*except Jarse*...poofs the lot of you.
I'm trying to save you over £30. As a Scotch man I thought you'd appreciate that.
Yeah, my first thought was that would scratch the shit out of your paintwork but they certainly make it sound like you don't have to wash it first.

Slightly harsh.
I am treating your recommendation as a superb product for after you have pre-washed the bike.
I've got some of that waterless cleaner/wax stuff, would NEVER use it on a dirty bike/car as said used after a was makes 'waxing' an easy painless finish. Did once try it direct on a car panel (not mine I hasten to add) and surprisingly it seemed to do a good job but like Moz I think if used like that you'll just end up with loads of tiny scratches in the paint and a 'hazy' finish.
I've used these and I can say that they are excellent if a tad on the pricey side. They clean well and buff up to a nice, deep shine. If your bike is a bit on the grubby side, I would recommend giving it a rinse off, letting it dry and then using these to get rid of any water marks etc.

You self-employed types have got money to burn.
Rinse then squirt with Castrol's Greentec cleaner. Go over with soft brush. Hose off.
Unless I'm really in the mood then its wheels out, snow-foam, etc, etc.
There are many ways...I was only trying to inform how simple and effective these wipes are...hopefully someone somewhere will appreciate my efforts....but I'm not holding my breath.
I do keep telling myself to buy one of those pet dryers to dry the bike with afterwards.
