Pinnacle Liquid Crystal Waterless Wash w/Carnauba is the latest offering from the Pinnacle Natural Brilliance Line of products. I'll leave all the technology components to those who know and rather concentrate on the product from a users point of view.
For me, I'm constantly using a waterless wash product or detail spray almost on a daily basis. It's what I use to maintain my DD during the week until I can give it a "proper" washing on the weekend. You can see in the product shot that I'm using a Cobra Waffle Towel for the review.
My personal technique is to apply a generous amount of waterless wash to the paint & roll the towel like a typewriter ribbon - advancing the towel on each wipe to ensure that only a clean portion of the towel is touching the surface.
In the next two photos you can see the light dirt on the paint before I begin the waterless wash process. In the second shot you can see where I wiped the dirt away with my finger.
Spraying a generous amount of the PLCWW to the paint and with no pressure, it cleaned the surface nicely. Here's a shot of what came off the paint. The second shot shows the towel after wiping the entire car down. White does a great job of hiding dirt but as you can see the towel is pretty dirty. What was interesting about this waterless wash product was I didn't need a second wipe to "clean" up the area. One towel with one wipe seemed to do the job. I liked that a lot.
Summary
Below are the finished beauty shots. The high lubricity formula of PLCWW did an excellent job of cleaning light soil, dust, and smudges while leaving behind a high gloss shine. IMO the Pinnacle Crystal Waterless Wash is a top tier performer in that category. And fwiw, my wife happened to walk out into the garage during my test and asked what that pleasant smell was - and that has never happened before!
