As a guy who "washes" his car almost daily, I've tried many waterless car washes. Who do you guys think makes the best waterless car wash and why?

I use Griots Spray on Car Wash that works great. If the car is not to dirty I use Griots Spray on Wax to clean. Make sure that you are using a high quality microfiber towels that can be found at autogeek. Good luck !!

I have tried several "Rinseless" products over the years....lately it is as if everyone is on the bandwagon. I tried both the original version of ONR to the improved version. I was not to impressed with either.....fast forward to SEMA 2010.

I attended a Detailing for Success seminar where I was asked to be a guest speaker along with a few other people. One of the other speakers at the seminar was the owner of Poly's Clear Tech System. This also is rinseless product, much like ONR....but in my opinion "So much better"

We performed numerous tests that day comparing several products on rental cars, there was about 30 professional detailers for the event from around the nation. The results I saw and many others proved that Poly's XL was the winner......

The opinion expressed is that of my own..........I was never a rinseless believer, but now that I have this in my arsenal I love it!...Here is a video of how I use the product to emulsify the dirt on the vehicle, then using a bucket wipe panel by panel and at the same time wring out the dirty towel in a bucket with the Polys XL solution. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9AJz64G18HA

You can also acheive the same results with a 32oz sprayer as I do with my Detailing Caddy.....Be sure to have premium quality MF towels for this job and leave the lowers and the wheel well arches for last.

This is the best currently, with Optimums ONR second to it.

i picked up the Griots car wash. Lets see hoe it performs.

If it "emulsifies" dirt, grime, etc... what does it do to the existing wax(es), whether it be carnuba or a poly?

Oh, and aside from obvious build up, how much dirt is too much for a waterless wash?

0Killrwheels@Autogeek

It is not harmful to waxes or sealants as far as I can tell, and have used it quite often. I find I still traditional wash the wifes Truck and my daily driver, but the Vette now gets Rinseless Washes. I dunno exactly why, but still find foam gun, bucket, and hose are old friends.

I have washed it while just dusty, to quite dirty after a rain storm and interstate driving without issue. Take a leap of faith, I suspect you will find like I did that you "should" or "could" have considered it sooner.

Ok will place an order on ONR, I plan to order other products as well... isnt there a forum discount code btw?

0Killrwheels@Autogeek

COVETTEFORUM is always valid and saves 10% off most items. If you order in the next hour or so there is a free shipping offer also, see banner on site.

jpuli28

It appears it only takes 10% off the one lowest priced item out of the mulitple order, PM sent.

0Killrwheels@Autogeek

the discount should be on all items not excluded from offer like buffer kits, vacs, bucket systems and such. Please call in if something appears wrong and Penny, Nick, or Dwayne will help.

I did order the ONR two bucket system, thanks.

Don't agree, every time I've used it, it leaves a film and I end up using a detail spray or Griot's spray wax. I found all I have to do i dust it off (if it weren't in the rain) with a paraffin duster and finish with Griot's spray wax and eliminate the "waterless wash" entirely.

Agree with the others who have said ONR. Have never really used another brand (other than to try out).

I use Adam's and it works great for me. Would love to be able to compare to other products out there side by side. I have found that the towels make a significant difference in how good it looks.

I used the ONR and it worked flawlessly. Seemed real watery though with only an ounce to 2 gallons of water. Gonna try it as a spray n wipe application, 2oz to 32oz of water next.

0Killrwheels@Autogeek

its quite versatile ... you can also tailor it abit if desired.
