ECH2O 2nd use (left over juice)

[WillSports3]

Ech2o as a follow up detail spray after pretty much any rinseless wash is a winning combination. Adds gloss and lustre.

Did you check out that guy's waterless technique in the video? He's got even more guts that I do. Lol.
I like his style, no fear, no swirls.

I actually wonder what would happen if on a clean surface for pure gloss enhancement purposes you just drop a few droplets of concentrate onto a foam pad and cover your paint, let it haze and then buff it off.

If anyone should know how to use the product, is Corey from Car Pro USA

LOL. No fear no swirls....

Not for nothing, but I only have this to make small bottles for bird bombs and a large 28oz bottle for the jambs and such.

Did you see the color that was on that BOA towel....
I could not resort to even trying that on a real paint panel

That's why Essence Plus was made for.

I already watched this video.

It seems like on an uncoated surface it has average slickness. But on a coated surface it is crazy slick.

This 24x36 Orange Fatty has become my go to towel for waterless washing this black Mercedes w/WGUber. I use just this 1 towel, front and back to wipe and dry the entire vehicle with great results and no swirls instilled to the paint.

Final spot check wipedown w/16x16 microfiber, and a separate waffle weave for the glass.

OT for all you CP users...
Any issues with your Boa Towels.

I have a few. Use them with water wipedowns on interiors..and or cockpit.
Have tried numerous cleaning methods but while it absorbs fine, they just ain't ~soft~ or soft enough for me to use on paint.

Eldorado -

Seeing that black(soil) on the towel just makes me cringe.
Maybe I'm just stuck in the 70's. I need water , water and plenty of water.....
I've got a jet black in the family as well, not ceram. black, but roundel soft black

Just do like Corey does in that video - spray liberally and trust the combination of product/towel/technique..

That Mercedes doesn't have ceramiclear.

I could never make a second pass with a dirty towel. Never
Its not hard to keep flipping to a clean side of the towel. Couldnt believe the multiple passes he made with all that dirt embedded into the towel.

You would not be saying that if you were in a drought area like California lol. You would have to adapt to a rinseless or waterless type wash. You would be surprised how many stories of folks getting fined for using water.

Ok, so I just did my 1st Echo RW this evening. The temp down here is 45. The car hadn't been touched since last weekend, so ran over thawing snow and general sitting while at work. I did but the quarter wash to get up under the car, the wheelwells and rinse down the tires and wheels a bit, then I drove home around the block and the car sat till later.

I measured out 2.5 ounces of Echo and filled my bucket with 3.5 gallons of pretty hot water. I filled my Quazzer with the solution and got to it. I should state that I used the GD method this time around. The first thing I noticed when I sprayed the roof, windshield, side and rear Windows was that it didn't bead. It cleaned like a normal RW and I did the entire car and then went to dry it....BUT, the hood started to dry, so I resprayed the entire car and then dried it. How did that go you may ask:


THIS STUFF IS AMAZING!

It dried easily and finished out perfectly, dry as a bond! I mean other RW's do this as well but this one is different, can't quite nail it down. I guess you'll have to try it yourself and even if you have multiple RW and WW one more isn't going to hurt you, LOL. These recent RW's and WW's are like judging mid-sized sedans, LOL. I see no cons to this product other than it's not offered in a gallon size but that's it.

I know now that this product stretches out too, meaning you need less to clean the car. I feel that I could've used 1.5 ounces to 3 gallons for this situation. When you pour and measure it's thick, much thicker than any other product on the market, you can see the quality coming out!

I'm looking forward to diluting my WW mid and giving that a try, thought about it tonight but really wanted to try it out as a RW first..,glad I did!

GET A BOTTLE OF THIS STUFF GUYS/GALS

I cannot even fathom the techique in CP video and I love me some CP....2 of our cars has CQ, and 1 of them wears finest. We use Reset, etc...

When I use this stuff for the jambs and such, I wipe it as if I'm walking on glass, just letting the MF float.

Just for the record, I don't make second passes with a dirty towel when I waterless... But I've figured out a way to sort of cheat the technique and come out clean.

What I do is - swipe once, then without lifting the towel swipe back up over the next strip of dirty paint [sort of like mowing a lawn] Then I pick up my towel, inspect it to see how dirty it is, and if it's not too bad I turn it 1/4 which gives me yet another clean edge to swipe with... Swipe, then pick it up and inspect, if it allows then 1/4 turn to get that fourth edge to swipe... Most of the time I don't even pause to inspect the towel before I turn it because I already know what I'm dealing with so there's no need to slow down. But not until I'm fully done getting full use is it time to flip to a clean side... Not any of this swipe once, flip to a whole nother side and wind up going through 20+ towels everytime I wipe down a car...

You have to use good judgement and know when you're safe to get the most out of the towel, and when and where to use each side of the towel.

But his technique in that vid shows you don't really even have to be as cautious as I am...

When it comes to the rinseless wash technology now, you can drop your towel in the dirt and dunk it back in your wash bucket and use it no problem. I've always done what Corey did in that video, I use one side of the towel for one panel. Ya there's dirt on it but it's dirt that's soaked in wash solution. Use your judgment sure, don't wipe your rocker panel towel or rim towel on your paint but a little bit of dirt... not an issue really. I've used pretty much all of the popular rinseless washes such as uber, ech20, onr, cg, uww+.. used them as waterless and rinseless and the test for me, I soak the towel in the sokution, drop it in the dirt then dunk it back in. I then pick out the rocks and sharp objects and then wring out the dirty solution and see what's left. If there's still some dirt on the towel, I re dunk it in the same wash bucket and wipe it over my hood. I dry off that section, spray with ipa in case the gloss enhancers filled in any fine swirls and so far, none of them have caused anything and I have two super soft painted cars, a lexus and a mazda. The rinseless and waterless products nowadays are a lot lot better than most people think they are.

 

[jincuteguy]

You're sure you can dump the dirty towel in the bucket and use it again no problem? I thought that would scratch the paint?
I'm really curious to try out the new CarPro Echo2O. Currently I'm using ONR, but been hearing good stuff from CarPro Ech2O.
