Do to the drought here in central Texas we are about to be hit with more water limitations. Time to try out a waterless wash product.

Whats your favorite Waterless Wash?
And why?
Other uses for product?

+1 on PB S&W. Use on door jambs, trunk amd hood undersides and as a clay lube. Carry some for bird bombs as well.
 
Big Ultima fan here. I haven't tried that many of them but the Optimum is nice as well...

Ultima gives you 5 GALLONS for around 20$ and I really love it even if it was pricey like others.

The CG green stuff I haven't used yet but have a sample from my buddy. I read the stuff about it on CG and it said it has clay and stuff so I believe the way it works is to fill in the scratches which is great for some uses. Thing is people use it to wash things that shouldn't be washed with waterless washes and don't realize it's just filling in the scratches it's creating.

Mike sent me a sample of Adams awhile back and from what I understand it doesn't add gloss like others. It felt safe the couple times I've tested it.
 
The stuff that has the clay in it is the white stuff that smells like trix. I don't know that's the same stuff as the green stuff...I really haven't heard the green having clay....after all I just said....I used the white once and I have the full bottle sitting there....maybe ill use it as an air freshner cause I like the smell of trix lol
 
Motul Wash and Wax. Best one I have used. Right behind it is a product sold by Saeng TA called Can-Do. Both contain wax and clean any hard surface very well. They are also safe to use on Plexiglas and Lexan, so you know they won't harm paint.

Auto Restorer Magazine and Motorcycle Consumer News have both published in the past comparisons and recommendations of the quick clean/detail products. Motul's product has not been in these tests, but Can-Do has, and it scored high ("Recommended" by MCN).

Honda also makes a good detailing spray that you can find at any Honda motorcycle dealer parts department.

I currently have two in stock, Griot's and Optimum Opti-Clean.
The Griot's has a bit more viscosity, so I use it in situations where I'm pushing the limits of a waterless wash, because of its longer dwell time without runoff. However, the Optimum is my favorite because of its versatility. It works great on interior and glass as well as paint and wipes dry with minimal time and effort. Actually, I use it inside the house also. It works great on bathroom fixtures, whether porcelain, cultured marble, chrome, wood or glass and does a nice job on my black kitchen appliances.

Ultima Waterless Wash Plus+ Concentrate is by far the best and most cost effective.

Another vote for UWW+. Value is unrivalled @ $3.50 a gallon! Closest contenders are Opti Clean and DPWW @ $10 a gallon! I got some BOGO for $1.75 a gallon! Performance is best to me also. Slickest wipe off of anything Ive used EVER! I keep a 2 gallon commercial garden sprayer full. I presoak the vehicles with it before a wash or a No Rinse. Let it dwell and wash right over it. No marring with this. I use a liter on the Audi and 2 on the Ford. Also is a great No Rinse or WW! It is NOT a great clay lube, doesnt let the clay bite enough IME.

Good point Jim! I got on the BOGO as well. That makes it cheaper than water LOL!
 
I started using Detailer's Pride (DP) and have had pretty good luck with it. It's currently on BOGO, and I ordered some.
