Waterless wash?
I have never used any of the waterless wash products...are they for real? I have heard the "Ultima" product is good. Opinions please

Ultima Waterless Wash Plus is a concentrate that does a very good job if the car is not excessively dirty (gritty/sandy). You put 1/2 ounce of UWW in a 22 ounce bottle of water, shake it up, and mist the area to be cleaned. Then wipe with a microfiber towel. Or, you can use the bucket method - 1 oz UWW to 3 gallons of water. Soak a microfiber towel in the bucket for a few minutes, then gently wipe a small (24" x 24") area. Use a clean dry microfiber towel to gently dry. (I prefer the bucket method.) UWW makes the surface very slick, and the dirt comes off easily without scratching.

Its one of my favorite products .... I keep some mixed up as a quick cleanup. You can also use it as rinseless wash or a waterless wash. Its quite concentrated and adds gloss too.

You can buy the best product ava, but if you dont have the right technique, your going to jack your paint. I highly recommend you research the Junkmans videos on Adamsforums; regardless of what product you end up buying, this guy knows what hes doing and how to properly water less wash a vehicle.

Our JUST released Rinseless Wash may be of interest to you. It's a SAFE way to wash a dirtier-than-dusy vehicle without the need for a hose.

"Waterless wash" is just a detail spray with a higher concentration of product in it. Works fine on cars that are lightly dirty. Anything more you will want to do a proper hand wash to minimize the chance of swirling up the paint. Ultima is good, and another product that really works well is Garry Dean's Infinite Use Detail Juice.

I use 3D waterless car wash. About 4 years now. Have several members of my club using it as well. Costco mf towels are the best. I throw them out when I'm done as well. They make outstanding rags after the car is clean. I hate using water. Makes a mess.

I use DP Waterless Car wash and it works great but as stated previously, ONLY on lightly dirty or dusty cars. I never use it straight. I always drive to a self serve spraying car wash and pressure spray the car clean without their cheap soap. Just on the rinse cycle.
Then I drive it home (it's only 1 block away) and use the waterless wash but with 15 MF towels. Then I wash the towels in the wash machine. Be sure to always do this with clean towels.

Meguiar's D114, Rinse Free Express Wash.
It is a 'rinseless wash' that cleans very well, with proper technique. Have plenty of MF towels on hand for a safe 'rinseless wash'... extremely key to prevent paint defects.
I have not noticed streaking on non-metallic black, base colors. (Important to me.)
Piggy-backing on what was said before... I would employ a traditional 2 bucket wash if contamination was anything more than just road spray from wet conditions.
The Meguiar's product dilutes 128:1 and a great value in 1 gallon jugs. Also, an excellent wash product after compound/ polish to remove any residual dust from process and preparing for wax/ sealant.
Best regards,

Very soon here in California. Lol. The last drought is why I started using the waterless car wash. It scratches the crap out of my single stage 76 Vette paint, but never on my 13 Cyber Gray Grand Sport. If it does, which it must, it doesn't show. Waterless allows me to do sections at a time, rather than all at once. Hey. I'm getting old!

Adams stuff is top notch for hoseless/rinseless wash.
