doesnt take long to clean the car at all... sponge it on and then dry it off with a good MF. I do it in the garage. no hose no sun worries, good even light, Like i said, I am in love!
This isn't a waterless wash product like OP asked about. I believe it's a rinseless wash product.

Actually the blue version on Optimums No-Rinse (ONR) is a multi use product. Depending on use and mixture it can be a rinseless wash, waterless wash, clay lube, and quick detail spray.

Chadwicks for me. You will not know how good it is until you try it.

Chadwicks. Hands down. I did the car with the "first time treatment" and now I use it like detail spray. I will never wash it again...
And if you have questions - just call Neil. Great guy and very knowledgeable about detailing in general - not just his product.

I have been using Adams rinseless, diluted 16:1, as a waterless wash with good results. It is significantly less costly than Adams ready to use waterless product and considered by many as a quality alternative to ready to use waterless. FWIW, I use Adams waffle weave waterless towels (say that fast 5 times!).

There are indeed many rinseless/waterless washes on the market. Some are quite concentrated and offer great additional value. That's why Blackfire, Ultima, and Optimum rate so well with the user base. The bottles are even designed to help measure on two of these.
