So the products don't leave a hazy or cloudy look behind if they're not wiped off?

Question for you guys; whether you're using Chadwick's, Meguiar's, or some other waterless wash, are there any of them that wipe on and wipe off without having to go back over them and wipe them again with a different cloth than you applied it with? I use a product on my bike called Original Bike Spirits. It's not technically a waterless wash, but it is a cleaner and leaves a just waxed-like finish. My only complaint about it is you have to wipe it off after you wipe it on. I spray it on a microfiber cloth (it can also be sprayed directly onto the vehicle, but I can control where it goes if I wipe it on), then with a different MF cloth you wipe it off. Do these waterless washes have to be applied and removed in the same manner?

I use the Maguiers product all the time and it works great. Whenever I take my car out , when I return it to the garage, I spray it with Maguiers Wash N Wax and it works great. No scratch formula really works. I highly recommend it.

Chadwick made an appearance on the Lambo forum once promoting his products but couldn't explain what made his any better than the other dozen waterless wash products out there other than saying his was better. Pass at that price. They all work on the same principal.

I was on the site and there were several videos and I only looked
at one.
There is Chadwick's Triple Play
Chadwick's Triple Play Paint Correction System
and many different items. I’m guessing that most or all of them are included in the basic Chadwick's Triple Play.
I wasn’t sure

Also an ONR user. I use Optimum No-Rinse Wash and Wax at different dilution ratios as my clay lube, detail spray, and rinseless wash agent. I Start with ~9 clean 16x16 microfiber towels folded 8-fold (16 usable sides) soaked in a 1-2 gallon bucket of solution. Used towels are tossed into a wash pile, never placed back in the clean solution. I think it's a good compromise between a traditional 2 bucket wash and a waterless wash.

You get to know every single inch of your Corvette’s bodywork with a good monthly (weekly?) washing. But is the additional use of water worth it for a marginally cleaner car?

I get the feeling the CF moderator has no idea what a waterless wash is or how it works. Definitely more "intimate" than a bucket wash, and definitely a cleaner result. The saved water is great for people in areas that require rationing, but most people use it because it's a better wash method for the way their car is used.

After trying the Meguiar's waterless wash I decided to change my procedure. Although it worked ok, I thought there was way too much drag/friction cleaning just dust off a freshly waxed car. So what I will do from now on is in addition to the waterless wash I will also use a gallon of pure waters too. I have unlimited access to RO water, or you could use a $1 gallon of distilled water instead. I just add a little waterless wash to the water, spray the car with the waterless, and use a really wet MF towel to wipe it down, and wipe it dry one a panel at a time. Works so much better IMO, and you use less product too.
