What's up my fellow AG'ers!!!!

Despite me being big into detailing, and previously doing it as a side business I never got into the waterless/rinseless wash scene.

I'm having a huge V8 moment (you know slamming my palm against my head) for not trying this sooner, but I guess I was always a little skeptical despite the awesome reviews of the various products.

Now seems to be a better time than ever to get into this with some awesome BOGO's on products that seem to fit the bill. For those of you who haven't checked out the BOGO section yet, here are the products I am considering purchasing:

Supreme 530 Microfiber Towels (You can never have enough, right?)

Supreme 530 Microfiber Towel 3 Pack Buy One, Get One Free!

Chemical Guys EcoSMART Waterless Wash

Chemical Guys EcoSMART Waterless Wash Ready To Use 16 oz.

My questions revolve around the EcoSMART WW. I've seen some pretty good reviews about it on this forum, and others. CG states that you can dilute this down to as much as two parts water, one part product. I was wondering if anyone has gone further than that with this? I'm interested in the Garry Dean method to start of this experience, and was hoping that this might be a good product to try it with. If not I'll just dilute it as CG suggests and see how I do in terms of spraying directly onto the panels and I'll go with something like ONR to perfrom the GD method.

Feed back please
 
Waterless and rinseless are different. Don't think the CG can be used like a rinseless. For that you'd want the hose free Eco wash of theirs.

As for rinseless and waterless. Stick with Ultima or Pinnacle. Can't go wrong with either.
 
The CG Eco stuff is meh... Just get a bottle of UWW+. It can be used for either purpose. The 530s aren't bad, but they don't like to stay folded for rinseless washes.

Thanks for clearing that up, I appreciate it.

What towels would you recommend for rinseless? I'm going to give the CG a try with the 530's to see how they do for my first go around. It'll be on my wife's car, and it was given a deep decon last weekend so it isn't heavily soiled right now.

This would be my vote as well if going waterless. The Pinnacle dilutes down to 1:32 and the Ultima dilutes down ever further, which makes them a much better deal than something that only dilutes down to 1:2.

I can't speak for the Ultima since I haven't used it yet, but I've been using the Pinnacle and really like it.
 
I have been using Pinnacle Rinseless and Pinnacle Waterless wash and both work quite well.

I used to use ONR for a long time so I am no stranger to rinseless washes.

Both work great and both work fast.

I want to try Ultima next.
 
Ultima Waterless Wash for the win! There is no better detailing value!
 
Yea. The ultima has a 1/2 ounce for 22oz of water. Or 1 ounce for 44oz of water.

The pinnacle is 1 ounce for 32 ounce of water.

Both very economical if you ask me.
