After applying a CarPro coating, there doesn’t seem to be a rinseless or waterless version of reset in the CarPro lineup. They have Ech2o but it applies SIO2. What would be the closest product to reset in those formats?

I assume you're looking for a product that is just a cleaner with no added gloss or protection?

If so McKees 37 N-914 is excellent and leaves nothing behind. I haven't personally used Griots RW wash but it leaves nothing behind and I know a lot of people like it.

Yeah its Mckee's N914 and Griot's Garage Brillant Shine rinseless wash

Can't go wrong with either but because I've been a Griot's Garage customer since 2005 and they're awesome I suggest the Brillant Shine rinseless wash

Yes, definitely something that leaves nothing behind. I was aware that the Mckee’s product fit that description but not that so did the Griot’s.

EcH20 does not leave durable protection. You would have no issue using it without interfering with the base layer. The SiO2 is for gloss enhancement. It is such a low dilution when used as a rinseless wash. Even when used as a waterless wash with a stronger dilution the protection won't last that long.

McKee's N914 will leave nothing behind on the surface and is quite popular. Gloss Shop has another.
 
Yeah Ech2o is an outstanding RW, the additional gloss is noticeable immediately

Maybe I'm crazy, but I seem to get better/easier wipe off with the Brilliant Finish vs the N914.

Over on the sister site, there was talk of another (*cough* Pure Rinseless *cough*) product that sounded similar to Reset (heavier cleaner than a normal rinseless product).

Not in the PBMG sales house, so I'd hop next door to search out that *showdown*.

I think your right about the wipe off between GG RW vs. N914 and for me, I've never used N914 as a WW. As for GG RW, it's been 99% as a RW

N914 is a wonderful rinseless wash that leaves nothing behind. I loved using it!

In a pinch when I couldn't get N914 because it was out of stock, I bought Micro Detailer Ceramic Wash. Don't let the name fool you, its just marketed for ceramic coated vehicles but it too leaves nothing behind. Just a straight cleaner. It works just as great!
 
Fenylab Pure rinseless. Worked great on my CqUk3.0 coated car. Removes everyrhing.

I own Griots BSR, Mckee’s N-914 and Pure. I use Pure once a month to strip everything clean. Definitely more cleaning power than other two.

I use all three alot. Once Mckees gone may try gloss shop or just stick with Griots. Pure will always be in the arsenal.

But for best cleaning in a rinseless/ waterless type situation, to me nothing better or safer with out a hose than Ammo Frothe.

I use and like Griots BSR as I don't want any enhancers, just a pure wash. I'm a little confused though as you say Pure removes everything, yet you say say that Frothe has the best cleaning. When you mention that Pure removes everything that that mean it removes (besides dirt) the last detail spray or would it remove a topper/quick sealant also?

On paint surface it will remove Sio2 toppers or at least severely degrade them i find. I’m assuming same on coating but hard to tell because coating still their so still great water behavior. People feel it may hurt coatings but i dont feel that in my limited time only

It’s made by a coating company for coatings...

I like Frothe so much as I feel it doesn’t affect toppers but most importantly I feel it’s the safest.

When wiping off i don’t feel the car I feel the foam. I feel it does better job of lubricating paint and encapsulating dirt as I wipe off.

I bought Fenylab today, just to try it and it seems VERY concentrated as its .5 oz per gallon for maintence washes and I'm guessing 1 oz per gallon will be REALLY strong. The stronger ratio I will try when I feel like adding another layer of "something".

It's always something with this hobby

I have it and have used it. Here are a couple things to note. One it streaks on glass and the other is it negates a drying aid. Best to dry it completely off and come back with something.

Normally i’m in the more is better crowd. Alot of us in the FPR thread on Autopia had issues at higher dilutions.

It destroys toppers at the recommended ratio’s...
