This is my 2nd review of the ECO TOUCH products I was lucky enough to win, so here's the review. I should also state that this is my first experience with waterless wash.
Introduction
With this product you can wash a dusty to moderately dirty car w/o using water, other than the ratio you have to dilute it which is 10:1 (10 parts water and 1 part solution) You'll need a couple mf towels and fold them over into 4's, so this way you've got 8 cleaning surfaces to use. Using common sense, work from the top to the bottom and I should add you'll wanna use the short nap side of the mf towel to do the glass, so you might wanna do the glass first which is what I did.
The product itself
This is the concentrate and it smells like lemon pledge, very pleasant. Like mentioned above, you mix it 10:1, I made up 2 batches of that and poured it into my 5 year warranty spray bottle. Its a very milky looking product that mixes well.
Washing the car, the process
Yesterday it rained on my car while I was at work, it was left with water spots and dust, about average, so the product is first being used on what would be considered "light dirt" but I really wanted to try it out. I first did the windows, used a light amount here per the video advice (the ECO TOUCH website has instructional videos) Using the short nap side to clean the glass I then wiped it dry it with a thicker mf towel, came out great and left a slick surface too. I then moved onto the car and once again, sprayed down each panel, wiped and then buffed with the thick mf towel. The finish looks flawless and smooth, very sharp! Because my car was only lightly dusty w/ water spots I only had to use 3 towels total, one for the glass, one for the body and one to buff dry. I also used the dirty towel that was pretty damp to wipe down the wheels too.
Conclusion
I will be trying this out when its driven in actual rain but for right now, I'm very impressed with my first usage of waterless wash concentrate. I know you can use the waterless when the car is driven in say 3 straight days of rain, no doubt about it but for me this will probably come down to rinseless wash for me. This is NOT because I don't trust ECO TOUCH and their claims, they even say that if the car is real dirty you'll need to pre-wash, so at that point I'm going to reach for my rinseless wash and have at it. I have recently bought 6 edgeless mf towels specifically for use with the ECO TOUCH waterless wash, so I've made the commitment to this type of wash and it really does have its place.
Once again I'd like to thank James from ECO TOUCH and Nick from AG for picking me for testing this product out, I'm glad I got to try out a great waterless wash like ECO TOUCH first, you only get one chance to make a first impression...impression made:dblthumb2:
Sorry, I washed my car in the garage and its raining out so no pics, lighting isn't the best down there but trust me, the car looks great after using this product!
