Waterless Wash aka "Drywash"*pics*

kaolin clay is used as a cleaner in many cleaner wax's you see OTC.

Its purpose is to clean rather than fill, regardless if it does both.

just wanted to share that.
 
also, why make this thread if you are not going to name the product ? I find that pretty ridiculous.

from your description of the product, the fact that the company makes 3 of them that are similar, and the color's mentioned, I'm guessing you are speaking of CHEMICAL GUYS products. correct ?

We all have a very different way of being and if one dosent wish to name a product in respect of AG it should be respected. I did this to back up b&b's drywashes since he got stones and rocks thrown at him when he posted it. I just took it a little further to show you guys that it works and what it can do.
 
Yeah I PM'd B&B toget some of this stuff, I can market this for the person at work, and on the go. With no trailer yet this will be a plus....
 
I am gonna give it a try and order a gallon of the RTU. I am going to put it up against DP Waterless that I already use and see what I like better.

I have the DP waterless but im afraid of using it....
 
LOL. I mainly use it as a clay lube, where it EXCELS, and to presoak for rinseless washes. I also use it as a quick detail.

I may have to try it out but this stuff i used here is awesome. It sure can replace a QD.
 
I'm still waiting for someone to polish out a black vehicle, drive it for a while, then perform the drywash technique. Would require lots of unedited pictures in the sun or very bright lights. :xyxthumbs:

Why dont you do it?!?!?!?? I have said many times that it doesnt mar paint - seeing as I use it daily and on client's vehicles that I clean weekly, and dont see any issues (which I have said MANY times by the way) - Im curious why you dont try it yourself?!?!?! Give it a shot. I can post a pic of every inch of every panel on every vehicle I do and you will still question it until you try it yourself. So very simply get some of it, try it out, then write a review. I can almost bet even if it works you will find something wrong - ever since you started ridiculing my method you have negative remarks about it. It works..... and until you try (for the 30th time) dont knock it :) Cant wait for your review :dblthumb2:

Anthony, what's up with all this peer pressure?

LOL - no peer pressure..... I am becoming very successful using this as a basic to mid level exterior process and it is frustrating to hear someone down it for the past how ever many months when they have not tried it out themselves. Asking other people to do a full correction and wait a few months then use this product and process is RIDICULOUS..... do it yourself right?!?!?! Dont sit back and ask others to do it. Gets old I suppose.
 
Do you need a stress ball or a chill pill. Just let some of that stuff go, no need to stress about it :) If it works for you then it works for you!

Oh, and I will admit, I didn't read this whole thread so I didn't know there was some heated action going on!

I don't even know what product you guys are talking about. I just see white, green, rainbow stuff. I wish AG would allow to say that product..last time I checked people what throw me out of McDonald's when I mention a Whopper!

AG will let you say it and I have no idea why these people won't say what it is. For me, it hurts their credibility.
 
Thank you for sharing Fox! :xyxthumbs:

I haven't read all the responses but I will bet 100$ that if you wash a vehicle that has seriously bonded contaminents with any companies waterless wash (No Rinsing and no rinsless) and do it in a time faster than using a regular wash it will leave marring visible in direct sun shots. I have used a few waterless washes and one of them I use more than any other product I have but I never use it for seriously bonded contaminents because I saw myself that it marred the vehicle. I simply use it to remove bugs after I take a drive and let my car cool in the garage.

Waterless washes are an excellent tool but they are not for washing a properly polished car that has sun baked / water distributed contaminants on it.

Sounds like a fair statement....
 
Whether you do a traditional wash or waterless wash, it all comes down to technique. I have read some of the posts questioning whether a waterless wash would leave any marring. It could if someone is using the wrong technique. The same goes for a traditional wash if someone is not using a 2 bucket method or checking their wash media often.

I do not know B&B, but I feel compelled to defend his usage of waterless washes. He has posted many pictures showing his work and he doesn't have to contend with water cleanup/containment issues with traditional washing (something that is becoming more and more enforced). For his business, he has carved a niche while leaving little or no residue on sight.

Both washes have their place in my detailing scheme. But as stated before, I use a traditional wash during my spring detail and then follow up with waterless washes for maintenance. If fact, I do not even use a quick detailer anymore. Just my two cents....
 
I bought this product and plan on using it on the Cobra regularly. It is in storage and will only be driven when I am back home on nice days. Granted it will not see much dirt, but If I can wipe it down before I drive, and after I drive, it will be worth it.

Oh, and someone in this thread already mentioned the product.
 
It's Chemical Guys "Ecosmart."

No since of beating around the bush, and people getting upset to the point that where arguing back and forth.
