Eco Touch Waterless Car Wash + Polish, eco friendly car wash, eco touch waterless wash spray
Ok, I was hoping someone else would post a review first so I could compare notes, but that didn't happen. I agreed to do a review upon receiving a sample of this product. First of all, my vehicle wasn't very dirty. The product bottle looks high quality, sprays nice, and has a pleasant smell. This product was different than any other products I have used and I don't have much experience with waterless washes. I sprayed my hood exactly like the video on the web page listed above. I misted my mf towel then proceeded to wipe as the bottle suggests. It cleaned very well, but it didn't feel very slick (like qd's, DP4-1), and I let it dry to a haze as suggested. When I went to remove the product after 5-10 minutes, it wasn't easy to remove and smeared, or streaked, which I was not expecting. It left the surface "dry", not slick, as it seemed to remove the wax I had applied the week before. After working with it for a little while, I lightly misted again and repeated the procedure, with exactly the same results. It started to rain soon after using it and it seems as though I was correct in my assuming that it removed my wax because there was no beading left. I don't know if this was user error or the product didn't work well for me, but something definitely didn't work right. I guess I am more used to quick detailers and DP 4-1, which are really easy to use and leave the surface slick after using.
I promised I would do a review, and I hope I don't get flamed for incorrect use or being honest with my review. I feel that I followed the directions 100%, but perhaps there's something I missed. I am to assume that this is not an LSP type of product, but more of a "prep" type product in which you would have to apply an LSP afterwards. I hope I am not the only one that didn't have good luck with it.
Any suggestions, tips, etc., would be greatly appreciated. Can anyone add to this that have used it?? Perhaps I will use it again in the near future and add to this post.

After reading your results it makes me wonder where the name came from.
Reminds me of an AIO(wash) in it's purpose, but it falls short IMO by not leaving the surface as slick as expected.
