Adam's Waterless Wash review
I ordered the Adam's new Waterless wash that comes in a blue bottle. I work on my C6 Z06 in my garage and it gets very dusty. Not always enough for a full on wash, but enough that it bothers me and I wanted a quick, easy, safe way to clean her up. Most detail sprays are too greasy and it is too much dust for a California duster to safely deal with. So I needed something that works better than detail spray but without having to deal with a full on wash, especially when it is so damn cold out. So I figured I would give Adam's Waterless a try.
So after a good dusting in my garage with this kind of action:
I put her back together, sprayed her down with the Adam's "waterless wash", wiped her down carefully with Microfiber towels, gave the tires a good scrubbing and here she is:
I waited a few days, brought her back outside after the FREEZING RAIN stopped, and she still looked good.
I am happy with the results. Went on easy, came off easy and cleaned her up nice. Works as advertised. Perfect for garage/track guys like me, or maybe after a sprint around town. I will be bringing a bottle to the track in the spring and will see how it deals with track grime.

Cool review, thanks.
The track grime should come off easily. I'd be worried about rubber though. (careful around that.

I'm a HUGE fan of Adams Polishes products. Tried them when I bought my vette (after reading about them on here and watching their videos) and have been buying their stuff ever since.
Now I'm buying the refills in gallon jugs !

I have not used their ceramic coating - I have used Gyeon Quartz coatings and have been very happy. I did use Adam's paint sealer and was pretty disappointed.
Love Adams detailer and waterless wash.

Why were you disappointed? I just ordered their liquid paint sealant.

Why this product over Adam's Rinseless wash? They both sound similar.

Former Vendor
Waterless Wash is designed to spray on each panel to clean without using water, Rinseless Wash is designed to be added (2oz. to 5 gal.) to your water to clean each panel without using a hose.
Hope this helps.

Why would you select one over the other? Is it just convienence or is there some cleaning advantage? We don't get much rain in AZ just a fair amount of bugs in the summer.

Rinseless COULD be used in place of Waterless Wash, you would NEED TO DILUTE it to perform the same. Diluted would be 2 ounces of Rinseless in a 32 ounce bottle or 16:1 ratio.
Both also have some ingredients which add shine to the finish as well.
More cost effective to use Rinseless and dilute.
Hope that helps..............................
