The integration of the Einstein equations for cylindrically symmetric solitary waves is reduced to a single quadrature when the ''seed'' solution is diagonal. Also in this case, explicit formulas that show the solitary wave character of the one- and two-soliton solutions are studied. A particular case of n-soliton solution is exhibited. Two theorems that show how to construct new solutions from known ones are presented.
