Empty this is a tough one. I've been detailing for years and a grimy machine with no water is a mess. I know there are water less wash products out there which i don't use but even with those that doesn't rinse and clean the tight places out(engine fins etc). I kinda stopped riding my bikes when snow season starts by us. It sucks and i know not an option for some but unless there is a way to clean its gonna be hard to deal with. Now if you ride and theres salt powder but not actual grime from wet roads you can use a ton of spray wax/quick detailer sprays with microfiber towels to "undust" it but if its grimy you gotta figure out way to have water on hand to get the hard grime off and from areas you cant physically reach. The S100 stuff does work great and is about as quick as you can get a bike washed without too much time assuming its not a grimy mess. You literally spray the foam on bike and hose off. Compressed air or leaf blower carefully used to blast most water off and then microfibers to dry. At that stage you can really start doing some easy polishing with the spray detailers i spoke of. They dont replace actual wax but are good quick alternatives to cleaning. Its kinda crappy but when i see the weather starting to fade here i clean the bikes real good and away they go for the season.
