Car-Skin claims that its formula was one of the first waterless washes on the market. However, our test would suggest that rivals have since moved the technology on a touch.

There’s no doubt that this cleaner lifts dirt without hurting your car’s paintwork, but to get the sort of shine it promises requires a much more intensive effort than our limited wiping test allowed.
