non-rinse waterless washing solutions
I have searched and have not yet found a solution that fits both requirements.
I am needing to find a good way to clean my spyder even if it has bug and dirt on it (not caked on or mud) with out being able to rinse it off as I don't have access to a water hose. Any recommendations on non-rinse waterless washing solutions?

These guys have good stuff. I use the detail spray on spots between washes. I have not used the waterless wash, but their other stuff is good. You can find a coupon code every now and then. The detail spray smells good too. Not cheap, but an option.

This is the one that's used around here..but, with it, or any that are of similar chemistry, be careful because the flat black plastic on you spyder 'does not' like the stuff. It leaves almost irremovable whites marks. fwiw

Actually, I sell this. And the way around that is to spray it on your microfiber cloth BEFORE you pass in on your plastic.

and for sure wasn't knocking the product. Been a staple here for years and years. Just a heads up.

I use Windex Multi-Purpose Cleaner with Vinegar. Don't use regular Windex with Ammonia! If things are real dirty, I often take a bucket of water and numerous rags and towels out there. Using a California Car Duster before you spray anything on it is a great help, too...and is all you need if it is just dusty or covered with pollen.

SPYDER STALKER
For the Flat Black try SC1 It leaves a slight gloss to the surface (no more white marks) Most bike dealers stock it.

The Honda Cleaner plus a microfiber towel works very well.

This cleaner and polish works incredibly well. I think it's the same as the Honda cleaner but a lot cheaper and can be found in a lot more places:

I use Griott's Spray on Car Wash. It cleans and shines without scratching or swirl marks. I use it on my Corvette also.

I agree, water hose with soap and lots of water.

Meguiars quick detailer in the spray bottle. Been using it for years on the skis and now on the Spyder. Works great.

x`s two! I`ve found that too much of any chemical creates some problem down the road. whether it`s white streaks, or gloss where it used to be matte, something is going to happen! just plain old soap and water works the best!

Can somebody tell me what's wrong with the car wash on the corner ( or where ever) and some elbow grease afterwards to get the bugs off??? ( and I have a custom paint job By Farris)

You guys seem to be losing sight of the OP's original request for something that didn't involve water, since he had no hose available. Water is always the best, but if you have none, you have to improvise.
