Thank you Mike.For those that think that dry wash on motorhomes is a good idea,
Wash your motor home the conventional way but use a white bucket for the suds and also have another white bucket with clean water to rinse your noodle mitt before applying more suds (often called two bucket method). When you have finished have a look in each bucket and see how much grit there is, this grit is being ground into the surface of your van using dry wash. Even on a clean looking van there is grit. I have tried the above method on a motor home that I had washed thoroughly the day before and was amazed how much grit was in the bottom of the bucket. I would never use a sponge for washing a motorhome, a noodle mitt costs about the same as a sponge, will not hold grit and will last a lot longer. I don't have any links to info, just a lot of experience of caring owners damaging their vans through misuse of products.
I've washed vehicles goodness knows how many times using buckets over the years so I agree about the grit.
However, I've also used Onedrywash for several years and seen the grit picked up by, and held in, the microfibre cloth, not being ground into the surface of the vehicle.
It is important to keep folding the cloth to present a clean surface to the vehicle, when using Onedrywash, and if that mean using several pairs of cloths so be it. That, though, is no different from rinsing the mitt or brush when cleaning using a bucket. The point is that any product has to be used properly.
Each to their own but, in the absence of documented tests, I'll carry on as I have been doing
