I have some DP rinseless as well as some UWW+. Have not tried the ultima as a rinseless, but love it as a QD. ONR is ok as well. What is the new favorite around here?

Also, does the DP have an "expiration" date? Mine is unopened but about 18 months old.

Thanks. Getting back into rinseless and am pretty excited about it!
 
I prefer the Meg's rinse less. Cleans well and doesn't streak. Plus it leaves nothing behind so it won't alter the look of your lsp if that interests yoh

Welcome, I use the DP only and love it.
 
The advantage to me of the Duragloss and Meg's rinseless is they don't stain the wash media like ONR does. I can't say whether the PBMG products (Pinnacle, Blackfire, DP) do because I haven't used them.

I don't think the 18-month age of your product should have any effect on it.
 
Meguiar's D114 is my favorite. BF, DoDo, DP, ONR, ONRW, Duragloss, and Pinnacle all work great. I have not found a bad rinseless yet.

D114 is preferred because it leaves nothing behind.
 
I have used onr and d114 and i cant say that i have a favorite but they have their place. Onr does not like to release dirt from the wash media and gd method is strongly recommended. D114 releases dirt very well and works well in the 2 bucket method. Onr leaves a nice sleek finish as it does leave polymers behind while d114 leaves a squeaky clean finish with nothing behind. When i am lazy... onr is what i use. When i plan on waxing whether traditional or spray wax, i used d114.

However, i do use d114 more only because i like using a spray wax while drying.
 
Out of all the ones I've tried (ONR v2, DP, DG, BF-sample and TW) my favorite is DG because it seems to stick to the paint surface when you go to wash and that's probably because of the AW that's infused with it. Its priced right, works well and for you smell people, smells great too!

For me, its all about wiping the surface of the paint as few times as possible, so I'm not going to use any rinseless product that requires yet another spray wax/drying aid product (step) after the wash.

For that reason, I like Pinnacle's product because it gives me a true one-step experience. One swipe to wash, flip the towel...then one swipe to buff off. Done.

I'm sure the DG product is similar, as well as the new ONR with wax.
 
I'm happy with ONR. I add a splash of AquaWax to the bucket. Each panel gets a healthy UWW+ presoak.
 
I've tried DG and ONR and prefer the DG. ONR seems to just bead off the paint if you have a good coat of wax or sealant on the paint and that's the opposite of what I want it to do if I'm trying not to scratch my paint. Like Klasse said, the DG sticks to the paint and lubricates it better IMO.
 
Meguiar's D114 is my favorite. I feel it cleans the best and my wash media is very clean after use. I've used the same MF Chenille mitt for the last 10 washes (at least once a week on 2 different cars) and it looks great. No marring that i've found. 2 bucket method

Why do you have DG last? What aspect did you not like? I see some like it and a few do not compared to others. I have not tried it.
 
My favorite rinseless is Pinnacle. I like using it with the Pinnacle Waterless together.

I also like Duragloss rinseless and UWW+. But, I like using the Pinnacle combo, and the fact both the rinseless and waterless have carnauba.

If I had to pick a number 2 it would be UWW+ used in both rinseless and waterless concentrations together. I like spraying a waterless, then using a rinseless.

The fact that Duragloss makes no real waterless product keeps me from using it a lot.
 
I've tried a couple of rinseless washes. Here my impressions:

Blackfire Rinseless - tried this for the first time this weekend, and I'm liking it (which is good, since I bought a gallon of product). The towel glides on the paint when I'm washing the car, dries very evenly, and leaves a nice gloss and added slickness to the paint.

ONR with Wax: Been using this for about three months. The scent is great, cleans well, and again, leaves a slick finish behind - works well with my carnauba waxes. The Blackfire does seem to glide smoother while washing, though.

UWW+: Used this several times as a rinseless - cleans very well, and leaves a slick finish with some added shine.

ONR v2: The previous version of ONR. Ok product, good cleaning, but not as slick as the competition, nor does it leave as glossy a finish. ONR v3 has supposedly rectified these issues, but I have not yet tried my bottle to actually see if this is the case.

DP Rinseless (old version): So apparently this product has been improved recently, which is a good thing, as it was being left behind. A tad slicker finish than ONR v2, but it doesn't clean quite as well, and it also streaks a bit more than the other rinseless washes I've used. Bought this on BOGO - sold one bottle off, have used about a third of the other one, and I'm thinking that the remaining 2/3 might just end up sitting in the back of my cabinet forever.

I'm interested in trying the Pinnacle, Meguiar's and Dodo Juice ones - those will have to wait though, what with almost two gallons of product that I need to go through first...
