This past weekend I pulled my boat from storage and prepped it before putting it in the water for the summer. Meghan was kind enough to send me a bottle of Meguiars Car Wash Plus for review. There have been several reviews of this product on the forum with some pretty impressive outcomes. I was somewhat leary to try this on any of my cars but knew that I had the upcoming prep of my boat and figured it would be the perfect chance to give it a try. This product is supposed to eliminate the need for a bucket during washing and has the ability to remove light marring and scuffs during the wash.
Product Description:
Meguiars Car Wash Plus+
Meguiars Car Wash Plus+ is an innovative new car wash product that eliminates the need for buckets – but it’s not a spray and wipe waterless wash! This super concentrated, lotion-like formula applies directly to your wash mitt and then to your paint! No mixing and repeated trips to your wash bucket – probably the easiest car wash you’ll ever do!
Meguiars Car Wash Plus+ is definitely a new take on car wash products. This 100% active formula removes not only dirt and grime, but also bugs, grease, light stains and light scuff marks as well! The super concentrated formula makes for maximum cleaning and a little bit goes a long way!
Many people are surprised to hear how long a standard car wash takes. When you add together all of the time spent filling your buckets, mixing your product at the correct temperature, and doing the actual wash itself, you’re looking at a good few hours of work. Meguiars Car Wash Plus+ cuts down on this working time by eliminating the need for buckets!
When used with a clean and plush microfiber or sheepskin wash mitt, Meguiars Car Wash Plus+ is a super safe, and super effective, way to get your paint clean of dirt, road grime, dust, and even light scuff marks – all without the use of wash buckets
Application:
I decided that I didn't feel confident using this product without a bucket so I filled a 5 gallon bucket with water and proceeded to hose down my boat before I put it in the water. The boat had some minor accumulated dirt from being stored with the shrink wrap outside all winter. I took a Meguiars micro fiber mitt and put 3 small beads on the pad and proceeded to wash the boat. One of the first things I noticed is that the product is very foamy and a little product goes a long way. The mitt was instantly foamy as I worked it back and forth on the boats gelcoat. I would then rinse the mitt and rinse in the bucket before applying more product. I basically applied the product 3 times. 1 x per each side and front and 1 x for the rear transom area. With each application of product I used 3 small beads.
The cleaning ability was pretty impressive and it cut through any of the residue from the shrink wrap and dirt from the winter. It also instantly removed any black streaks that I had on the side and some minor overspray from where the outdrive had been painted for the season.
This product will be perfect for me when using my boat this summer. I wash my boat every single time I take it out of the slip and return. With Meguiars Car Wash Plus I will be able to put the product on a mitt and lean over the side to clean the side and transom without the need for filling up a dedicated bucket with soap. This will be the perfect solution for me when I want to do quick wash and rinse and don't want to do a waterless wash. The next time I use it I will eliminate the bucket and just spray the mitt heavily with the hose nozzle before applying more of the Car Wash Plus.

I just wish I could stop in and grab stuff sometimes.
