Anyone who knows about cleaning cars, knows this is a terrible idea. The moment you start to ‘spray and wipe’ a dirty car, you’re instantly scratching the paintwork.
Not true I use waterless and rinseless both zero scratches he showed a very bad example
Not true. My friend bought his dream last year (Lamborghini Diablo) and only ever cleans it with waterless car wash product. True story.
Trust the guy with "waterless car wash" in his name 🤣
@@kaj661 funny not had any issues in 15years useing it I can also do a full 3 stage and ceramic coating too really easy when you know how to use it right 👍
@@carologywaterlesscarwash2054 good on you, glad it's going well
Aquanought Limited - incorporated in 2006 & changed it’s name to “A Ok Wash” Limited was dissolved in 5th April 2016 and never made any money.
How did they dissolve without water? 🤔
@@phil8145 oh Phil.
"A ok wash" 10/10 branding...
@@phil8145 Phil. Phil Phil Phil...
@@phil8145 Maybe Rory the seaweed hunter could provide an explanation. 😂
3:24 I'm impressed that James can write down all those profit numbers without even looking down
Plot twist, he’s just scribbling small circles in his notebook 😂
Ya know, I've always wanted swirly designs in my paint. These guys are geniuses.
That's alright on an already clean car but cleaning a dirty car like that would be like cleaning it with sandpaper.
I think it's meant to be a replacement for the ordinary wax that car valet places use that you have to let dry and buff off
Nope, water is in the product just like any other spray product. But the spray itself wasn't what was on offer. They wanted to franchise.
@@joewas2225 But its not enough water to remove dirt, so you would be wiping dirt over the car like sandpaper. Most car washes have a pressure washer that blasts off most of the dirt before you start rubbing. Or people at home hose off the car before rubbing.
The only thing it could be useful for is for places like car dealers, where the cars are mostly clean and just need a shine.
They should have partnered with the wheel cleaning guy.
He cleans wheels. PROPERLY!!
That would scratch your paintwork to bits
Not if done correctly. Waterless carwsh has ben used for decades now. Many mobile car wash companies clean high end cars with this product. Sadly these guys did not use the correct technique lol. They should fold their microfibre cloth into 4 sides and strictly wipe in one motion with not much pressure.
The paint work they used for the demo was barely dirty. What happens when somebody turns up with a car that looks like they've been rallying, covered in mud etc. How does a waterless cleaning system cope with that?
Hi Don,
They don't cope with it mate. This type of product is suitable for light to medium levels of dirt on cars. Fantastic product and very eco friendly but if you're one of the very few cars going around rallying in mud them it's not for you.
Yeah my first thought is "sorry, go somewhere else" a business only needs to serve a niche, not every possible scenario.
The "positive electric charge" literally only works on dust, not actual dirt. Scam or just incompetent?
Probably both
Absolute joke of a product for cleaning anything remotely dirty tbh. Wonder howmany months it took for them to go broke. Some ppl invest in the most pointless products 🤦♂️
Surely the spray has water included in its ingredients, therefore it's not waterless. Or am I missing something?
"aqua is a waterless is car wash company"
*proceeds to spray water on car door *🤣
Why would theo invest 150,000 of his kids inheritance in a business, no wonder they call him Theo the fetus, he care about the kids
That makes so much sense. I see why that’s his name
I like this name. I will invest two bottles of water and a bottle of rum for 80% share in this name. And we gonna franchise it out to t-shirt companies and we gonna expand to the US market and Asia
On the plus side good to know Theo is giving his children inheritance
I want to see how that spray works on my truck after it's caked in mud.😂
7:38 "kid's inheritance" - and that's Bingo!
7:37 something tells me he loves his children.
This would destroy your paintwork. Ridiculous.
I'm banned from driving for drink driving and leaving a scene of an accident so I don't need a car wash and FOR that reason I'm out
Next time take water with it.
Jesus....if they come up with THAT KIND of product, I DON'T want to see, how their cars look like!
I never know if duncan is smirking or smiling
What about heavy mud deposit? Under tray? It’s little confusing? Will it not more scratch rubbing and buffing it??
I think you’re absolutely right, it depends what is in the dirt, tackling certain patches of dirt that might have minute abrasive elements could do more harm than good. Plus not all paint is created equal - I’ve had cars I’ve only had to look at and the paintwork gets scratched 😂
I'm hoping it has some magical property to stop scratching
It's only designed for cars that have a little dust on them, not proper dirt.
Free swirl marks included
And Janine Allis from Shark Tank Australia also told me to tell you that she, too, is out.
He looks like the priest in the Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom movie. Maybe it the brother
Kalima.
Even quicker you could use 1 jerry towel fold it in half and apply the spray on one side and wipe it off with the dry side and you will get a better finish. Try it yourself
I could actually predict the polished pun. Lol
There’s a company in Ireland called NoH2o doing this for years now and making a fortune.
The pitch is rather old - maybe it’s that company? :)
Not this one,this one dissolved in 2016
Jenny Campbell is OUT and she`s not even in the den .
No one cares about that joke no more dude
@@leonleon2276 Ahh thanks for the tip Leon Leon Leon .
@@gordoncampbell100 no bother
They don't need the money theo was spot on
Barbara Corcoran from Shark Tank told me to tell you guys that she is out.
But dose it come with a flow signal to tell you the direction to scrub
I'm a valeter for a big German car company trust me this is absolutely rubbish.
I love this channel.. But i miss my Lunchtime videos
I just watch the same ones over again lol
Save it.
Watch them for dinner time instead :P
Keep the afternoon notification unopened till dinner time then open it at dinner time to watch.
Or watch it the next day at lunchtime 🙃
Theo's kids are gong to squander that all illusive inheritance.
Cheers.
Aquanought dissolved 2020. At the end of the day - its just a cleaning spray and rag. No need to sign up on a franchise deal for that.
I know right? I never understood the franchise idea
So Aquanought left the Den with nuffink - naught (boom! boom!)😂🤣😂
Showroom shine does the same thing,no electric charge needed
Duncans facial expressions are living meme's
Peter had a few good ones too, Duncan’s king though.
Duncan's sideway smiles are so telling
Okay, now try it on a dirty car...
Waterless water.
Seems like you’ll scratch your car all up without water 💦

First thing that came to me mind was... what if the car is covered in mud? You need water mate. It's one of these Hollywood ideas to pitch to rich ppl that just wants their clean car polished like em shoes innit?
No I will still have it cleaned with water take to many spray bottles and scratch the heck out of the paint work
Thought that was Prince Naseem for a minute then!
Would you not scratch the shet out of the paintwork..
each segment you show here should have a link to the products websites if they are still trading
What about a car that’s been through mud?
They don’t want to use natural water… just a TON of chemicals.. so enviro friendly
Water isn't a chemical?
0:33 hes out the game man
Is that a young uncle fester?
Scratch and shine 👍🤣
Name a more iconic duo, theo and his children's inheritance
🤣🤣
Touker and his office space
Amazing idea!
How often ya gotta wash towels ?

Why do all Musa look like that?!?!

I hate when they have sky high projections that jump up from very little. It immediately sounds like they are bullshitting
They come over here they will be getting coffee and sandwiches for them everyday
Cleaning already clean cars. I’m guessing this a for cars that never leave the city limits
Or even leave the showroom for that matter.
Ethereum 👍
Ronnie O'Sullivan look a like.
4K PLS
This product idea was around 20 years ago.....nothing new here
Rumour has it run onto a battlefield spray all combatants with this stuff and instantly guns and grenades are
thrown to the ground and enemies embrace with pledges of everlasting peace.
If i was rich id pay mike myers to play theo
They will never make any money
