REVIEW - Pinnacle Liquid Crystal Waterless Wash with Carnauba

I have used the pinnacle WW twice now. I love the smell, the look it brings and the feel on the paint. But I think it need a few dozen more microfiber towels and/or use a ton more product because I've noticed a few more light swirls. My next project is learning the different polishes, which can be used by hand, which pad to use if I get a DA. So many things, so many combos.
 
Still use this stuff and love it. Been using it since it came out pretty consistently.

I even use it in my Swifter Wet Jet to clean my wood floors.

Need some advice. I recently double coating my wife's black suv with a carnauba wax product I was asked to try.
My question is, now that it has some dust on it--what should I use to clean it off. All my products, QDs, WWs, RWs, have polymer residuals. What will that do to the carnauba layers? Please speak from experience. Thanks

im just getting into it myself im finding you have to put it on heavy and ive been using a big drying type towel for the first wipe because it does a bigger area at once. next ill try rinseless but still mastering this for now. black car too btw

that doesnt matter, if the dust hasn't gotten wet you should consider a car duster. if its been wet already then any waterless or rinseless will be good

This doesn't have much to do specifically with Pinnacle Liquid Crystal Waterless Wash, but I'll give you my 2¢...

You didn't mention which "carnauba wax product" you double coated the car with, but just about every carnauba wax product on the market contains some type of polymers in the formulation. Using a quick detailer/waterless/rinseless product which contains polymers to clean up light dust should not pose any problems.

LSPs that contain carnauba are more prone to collecting dust than others using synthetic ingredients only.

If your objective is to maintain all of the attributes of your chosen LSP, then a great choice for light dirt and dust clean-ups would be Poorboys Spray & Wipe. This product does not leave anything behind that would alter the appearance of your LSP.

If you want to stick with something that also contains carnauba wax, that will certainly work too. Pinnacle Crystal Mist quick detailer is excellent at light dust removal on a carnauba waxed car as well as BlackFire Midnight Sun Instant Detailer...

Has anyone used Wolfgang's as a waterless wash? If so, how do results compare to Ultima?

I've used both quite a bit. The results are similar to me. I like the Wolfgang product more than the Ultima offering because it smells better - cherry scent for the former and what I interpret as Sprite (the drink) for the latter. The Pinnacle waterless wash is my personal favorite because of the slickness that it imparts against a surface and its smell. It smells like some sort of lotion that my wife uses, so the product reminds me of her!

On a related note, the BlackFire waterless wash smells like aspartame. Has anyone else noticed something similar? It reminds me of Diet Coke.
 
Excellent review!

Pinnacle was the first waterless I used, and was quite impressed. (My review) I go back and forth between that and Uber Rinseless mixed as waterless, depending on whether I want the carnuba left behind or not.

Both are great, and waterless is now my preferred method of washing.
