Interesting and thanks for Sharing. My only concern is maybe going through a bunch of micro fiber towels lol...
oersonally I use Adams products for all washing and waxing etc. they work very well, probably best I’ve ever used.
They have a product called h20 gaurd and gloss, that is amazing. It’s nit completely waterless however they have waterless cleaners too, but this h20 is amazing. After wash before dry, just spray on like the directions in yours, wipe then dry... but somehow it adds shine and wax like texture that lasts a very long time. The shine and how long it stays on is what impressed me the most.
ill look for a link in a few. Their interior products are amazing as well. Worth checking out.

They make a separate leather cleaner that eats odor as well as cleans. And a complete line of washes. Their wheel cleaners come in two strengths, normal and one for heavy brake dust that you wash off in 5 min. Sold at great prices on Amazon or directly from Griot. My two cents. They are a sponsor for many show car organizations.

I've been very pleased with Griot's Speed Shine. Although you need to use lot's of microfiber towels.

I own products from Adams Polishes, Griot's and Optimum. Personally, the Optimum polymer based rinseless wash is my favorite. I highly recommend giving it a try, I have a gallon in my garage right now alongside $5-600 of other car car products. https://www.amazon.com/OPT-Optimum-NR2010Q-Rinse-Shine/dp/B00D8DR0AO
