First off, my apologies for the late review--been crazy busy for the past month.
I was one of a lucky few picked by Nick to review the new Mothers Waterless Wah & Wax product. I used this product on a section of my wife's very dirty Honda Pilot (hadn't been washed in a month) which was coated with Colli #915 some months back. I chose the front fender area under the headlights, where it normally gets the dirtiest--outside of the tailgate. My previous experience with waterless washes = Poorboys Spray & Wipe and Meguiars D114 at waterless dilution (1:128).

Product Details/Tools Used

Blue MFT Elite Ultrafine 500gsm towel
Generic-brand MF bug sponge
There are a total of 4 things that stood out to me. The first thing about the product I like is that the spray "coats" the surface of the paint evenly; no beading or uneven splatter even if the car has an active LSP application. Two sprays effectively coated the area I was cleaning. The 2nd big stand-out is the ease of use, this stuff is incredibly easy to apply; I'm talking Poorboys Spray & Wipe + Megs UQW/D156 easy. The 3rd standout is the smell. This is easily one of the best-smelling products I've used. The final stand-out was that the product did not effect beading of existing LSP's. Even though I could tell the product left a little something behind, it didn't hinder beading at all--not even when I used on my Camry (coated with Sonax PNS) when removing a bird bomb. Very impressive.
Before
The car had quite a bit of dirt/small bug guts on the paint, but the product cleared all of it save one small piece of bug corpse that had been on the paint for about a week. I sprayed one additional time and then went lightly back & forth with the big sponge--this removed it entirely. I find the product wiped clean without streaking or fuss. All in all it was a joy to use and I highly recommend this product!
