I was wondering what's the best waterless wash. Now that the winter season is almost upon us it's time to start detailing in the garage
 
Without using as such I'm going to predict the answer....

Wolfgang Uber Rinseless at the proper dilution.
 
I like Meguiars D115, but it isn't as economical as some other brands at waterless dilutions.
 
I'm enjoying carpro echo2, Wolfgang is very nice ad well. Ultima I'd also very nice. Depends on what smell you like I suppose..
 
Yup, depends what you're in the mood for. They're so close to each other at waterless, it's really splitting hair.

With that, from my observation:

D114 cleans exceptionally well at 1:128, but grabby.

UWW+ & D115 are on par.

Pinn Liquid Crystal edges out the two above, but requires a little more buffing.

Uber is very slick & very glossy, but doesn't offer protection like UWW+ and others. And to be honest, doesn't clean as strong. Not weak, but UWW+ beats it for sure.
 
I have to say the Wolfgang Uber Rinseless, mixed as waterless, is pure awesome!

I also am fond of Pinnacle Waterless for the carnauba it leaves behind. (You can read my review of it here.)

But, if I had to pick only one, Wolfgang all the way.
 
Wolfgang Uber gets my vote for "best" now that D114 has been discontinued (RIP).

So hoping that AG develops a rinseless as good as D114 with the same characteristics.

I also enjoy using Infinite Use Detail Juice (best smell hands down) and have tried Trifecta a few times, but was underwhelmed by it's cleaning ability.

The smell of D115 is just too overpowering to come out of my cabinet.

Have not tried ONR, as the comments about "staining media" and sometimes leaving your towels crunchy has dissuaded me from buying it.

Best rinseless? Of the current offerings it has to be Wolfgang Uber. It just does everything well.

Edit: Just realized OP was interested in best "waterless" and not necessarily best rinseless. Would have to throw Spray and Wipe from Poorboys into that discussion!

That's actually one of my favorite things about D115, but I could see that if you aren't fond of the scent it could be overpowering.
 
I really like the BlackFire Waterless & Wolfgang Uber Rinseless.
 
I used to be an ONR user but WG Uber is my go to for everything now.
 
Depends on the LSP. If coated not many play well on top of the coating. Will be ordering up some of the new Car Pro product to try. Most all of them work well on traditional LSP's. I really like Ultima waterless +. So many uses and works great.
 
Echo2 works really really well. It feels a bit like using ultima but it buffs off easier, cleaning power is about the same as ultima.

Depending on what winter conditions are like for the OP, rinseless may be a safer option anyway. I know here in Mn I'm planning on trying my first winter doing rinseless washes with hand pump sprayer pre-soak. Our cars are never clean enough that I'd feel safe going waterless.
 
I've only used Blackfire Waterless and really like the cleaning power, smell and slickness. I do have BF WDAFPP and BF CS as LSP so compliments them well. I've used Wolfgang Uber as a rinseless and is awesome - I have yet to try it as a waterless but will be soon. I purchased a gallon of Uber so will be go to for waterless and rinseless.
 
PB spray and wipe if you want to "add" nothing. It just cleans, leaves no glossers etc behind.
