It is very good as a waterless! I havent tried it as a Rinseless yet. I did the tailgate on the Ford. It had heavy dust . Initial impression is that it is slicker than OOC or DPWW. It may have more lubricity than anything I have ever sprayed on a vehicle! The concentrate has a proportioner that will load a chamber with .5 oz of product. This makes 24 oz of cleaner. IMO it is on par with the great new OOC. Similar gloss and effectiveness. Has a nice fragrance. I cant ID it but a beta tester said grapefruit. I dont do a good job on reviews, but I am sending a sample to the Review Guru. I hope to mail it out tomorrow, I think it will boil down to personal preferences between this and OOC. Both are stunningly good IMO! DP needs to go concentrate to stay competitive IMO!
 
Cool! Looking forward to Corey's review. :props:
 
This is awesome Jim! I'm glad to hear your findings. I was actually just looking it up tonight. I was thinking I will either buy this or the OptiClean (or both). I love Ultima and based on your findings I'm going to buy some. If you want to skip sending me that gift I'm already convinced on the purchase and will buy some.

I hope AutoGeek starts stocking this soon

Its worth buying for the dispenser alone Corey! It wont disappoint. I will think about what to put in the hopper for next review!
 
I'm just saying that those bottles can be bought, I bought one a long time ago, I really should use it for something.
 
I have used three waterless wash products: PB, DP, and Adam's.

PB is not like the other two.

DP/Adam's behave like traditional detail sprays in you need to do a little extra buffing to dry the surface (can streak). PB's sprays on and wipes off easily leaving a slick surface and does not streak on a hot surface. Adam's will streak on a hot surface (did not try DP on hot surface). PB runs down the paint quickly if you do not spray in a fine mist. DP/Adam's tend to stick to the paint.

I just have not been able to determine which one actually cleans better and safer to use. I have been trying to find a good controlled side by side test.

I got a PB sample - was not impressed. It seemed like the was a lot more friction as you moved the MF across the paint. Was I doing something wrong?

I have to point out that you can buy those dispenser bottles, if that's the attraction.

I would like to check this out. I would be interested in buying one or two. The Ultima is worth it if it came in a regular bottle, but this thing is a cool bonus. There is a nice MF bonus with the Ultima for a limited time.

Thank you Jim! Putting my order in today! You are very kind. Did you get my PM?
 
Does anyone know if and or when autogeek will be carrying this?
I'm tempted to put an outside order in but will wait to order through the mighty AG if they are planning on stocking it.
 
I actually didn't pick this up the first time thru, but the UWWP is boosted by PolyCharger, and they claim environmental and UV protection from using it, which of course is similar in concept to the protection afforded by using Opti-Clean.

I have decided that Ultima beats Opti in a photo finish! Slicker and smell is addictive!

Ultima wins in the cost and smell dept. Tied in the cleaning dept., but OOC gets my vote on the gloss dept. I also noticed that OOC does not hold dirt on my mf unlike ONR.

I'm wondering if you could dilute OOC out further into a rinseless...
