Faisal bhai, I tried Saco and Saco world both, and it was not available on their shelves. They told me it will be available sometime in future, but not sure when.... [emoji35]

I am in Islamabad for a few days, so I am looking for a bargain... [emoji6]

Last month, I went to SACO there is full range of AutoGlym, Megs n Turtle is available along with 3M products... For more items availability, you can visit their in Azizia beside Panda (Sabaeen Stree). Other branches have very less items...

The problem is that the Strenght of the Sun over here is strong which results in water drying up as soon as it hits the hot body under direct sunlight plus added that the water in Islamabad has alot of minerals results in instant water marks.

i have washed car under sun 2 times aleast, its really hard, water starts drying
so i thought maybe rinseless wash can b used as its for a panel just like u use moist mf to remove dust

No cleaning activity should be done on a car parked in sun. Find a shaded place and let the body cool before cleaning.

I can never bring myself to trust a rinseless wash to wipe my car, specially with the suspended dust in the atmosphere.

I feel like a rinse is the only solution to get rid of that dust on the body.

Ofcourse, its my unprofessional opinion/belief.

On youtube i have seen detailers wash their cars under direct sun very easily, the water wasnt drying and they were pretty easily drying their car. Try that over here and you'll have dried up water and water spots by the time you go and get your drying towel.

Under the sun, the body gets really hot especially with the coming summers, so as soon as some water touches it, it will evaporate leaving the minerals behind to etch water marks. Plus i have noticed that when you drying your car after washing under the sun, the rate at which water is evaporating is much more than the rate at which your drying the car, resulting in basically you just rubbing the cloth over the dry body and inflicting swirls. Happened to me, thats why i never wash the car under direct sun. Also that is the reason that most of my washes are at night.

I advise that if you get some partial shade, clean the body under the shade, and the switch the car to cater the uncleaned part. But the best time to clean if you get sunlight in your garage is to clean at night.

Perhaps these people are in a country, where sunlight is at an angle, and quite feeble, parts of US, Canada, UK etc.. Their sunlight is not comparable to ours.

Dust tou 'waterless' wash sey bhi chali jai gi..

The reason you use shampoo is to lubricate dirt off your vehicle and into your wash media.

Presoak the dirt with the rinseless wash first and encapsulate it.
Wash your car normally and then DRY it.

Its not direct sunlight you should avoid. Its the high temperature of the panel causing the water to evaporate.

there's half shade but obviously when half part is hot then it'll dry up quickly, i also wash after 4pm but then its kind of useless, then comes the night,
the next day at morning time its dusty again n not sparkling clean like all the other cars on road

also its black colour so gets even more hot, thats why avoided washing under sun
