Detailed video about Maruti's waterless wash system. Part number details in the Video:



1. Part number: 99000M24121-052
Premium Foam wash liquid
Price: Rs. 318

2. Part number: 99000M24121-055
Foaming Gun(Note:Needs a Pneumatic air line)
Price:Rs. 5657

3. Part number: 99000M24121-056
Wheel Brush
Price: Rs. Rs. 326

4. Part Number: 99000M24121-054
Wash Mitt
Price: Rs. 374(Excellent pricing, considering Meguiar's wash Mitt costs around 800 rupees and looks same)

5. Part Number: 99000M24121-057
Glass Squeeze
Price: Rs. 330

6. Part Number: 99000M24121-053
Microfiber Cloth
Price:Rs. 85

Personally, I liked only the Wash Mitt and the Microfiber cloth which I may get for my normal cleaning. Otherwise the process has lot of potential to damage the paint

I would rather keep my car unwashed than run it through this hellish dry wash process which is akin to rubbing the car with a fistful of steel wool.

I agree. The whole process is flawed and can severely damage the finish. But unfortunately, most car dealerships are adopting this, as mentioned by DBHPian in the first page of this thread.

I assume the water comes from a borewell at the dealership. Is it not possible to do the equivalent of rain water harvesting at these places? Best of both worlds, surely?
