Received my sample from Nick this week from a recent contest to test a new AutoGeek rinseless wash. Being in Arizona I was excited to give this a try as I am considering switching to rinseless due to water costs down here. I should mention, my car is coated with PBL Paint coating.
All pictures taken with my LG G3 smart phone. Not the best but my work camera was unavailable.
Here is the sample bottle I received
As soon as I opened the bottle I got a very strong Candy/Chemical smell. Hard to describe but reminded me of cotton candy and bubble gum. Similar to Pepto Bismol. It seemed thicker than Pinnacles Rinseless, which is the only other rinseless I have used.
Dumping the product into the bucket
Getting a couple of my Gold Plush Jrs ready
A couple before pictures to show how dirty the car was. The pictures really dont show how dusty it was, but you can see the dirt on the front fender.
Grabbed my first Gold Plush and slightly rung it out and placed it on the hood.
Began to slowly slide the MF across the hood. I didnt use hardly any pressure at all, I just let the MF glide across the paint. I did 3-4 passes over each section before removing the MF and using my Waffle Guzzler.
I must say, the wash solution beeded up quite well and it didnt dry or spot as quickly as I assumed it would. More than enough time to soak up the solution before it dries. And this was in the Arizona sun, so very impressed.
I continued with this process for the entire car, one panel at a time. I used 10 Gold Plush Jr MFs and 2 Waffle Guzzlers for the entire car. I did not use a 2nd bucket as I just discarded the MF after each panel, so there was no need.
Here are a couple afters.
The cleaning ability of this product was pretty impressive. I had stuck on dead bugs on my fender and they came off with ease. Dust and dirt removed easily as well. Granted, the car was not overly dirty. Someone in another review mentioned it left behind a slick glossy shine, I did detect some gloss as well when I was finished. My car is coated with PBL Paint coating though, so that might be a reason as well for the gloss.
My final impressions of this product are pretty good. I am definitely impressed with the cleaning ability and the ease at which it cleans. No streaks, no water spots, no dirt left behind. It just worked great. Theres also an added gloss, which is always nice. Im curious as to whats causing this though. Perhaps some carnauba or maybe some sort of coating properties.
Comparing it to Pinnacles Rinseless, I can honestly say I prefer this prototype much more. I didnt like the cleaning power of the pinnacle and it seemed to "grab" when drying. None of that with this product.
My one "con" would be the scent. I'm sure it wouldnt bother most but I have a Chemical Sensitivity Disorder, so I cant be around strong scented products, such as perfumes, colognes, etc. I get sick and migraines. So this might just be a personal thing. Yes, it makes detailing my car very difficult.
Questions, comments, feel free.
As a bonus, since Nick was so kind to offer the opportunity to test this product...I am willing to offer the remaining solution to another member. You just pay shipping. My only requirement is that you have used a rinseless wash product recently. You'll get at least 1 wash from the remaining amount.
