So who's brave enough to be the first to review this...

I thought when I read about that at SEMA time, it was not "waterless" but simply that you washed without a bucket, by hosing off your mitt and then reapplying this "lotion" to the wet mitt. Maybe I'm not remembering it right.

EDIT: A quote from MOL from the other day:

"this is used like a normal car wash except without diluting the product with water in a bucket. For best results we would recommend rinsing your wash mitt just the same as when using a standard two bucket wash method. We would say that most users rinse their wash mitt prior to needing to retrieve more suds, so the same goes for Car Wash Plus +, when more product is needed on the wash mitt, rinse out with the hose first! Yes this product needs to be rinsed off the vehicle, just like a traditional car wash, it is not a water-less or rinse-less product."
 
I can't see using it with a wash mitt, what do you do when the mitt is full of dirt. Maybe using multiple mf towels like a waterless wash?

So this is meant to be used the traditional two bucket and hose method? The description on the store page makes it sound like you apply to a dry wash mitt, spread it around and wipe off with a dry towel. And it polishes too? Lol so confused. Kind of atypical for Megs to release such a wacky product.

Great point. There are many variables, but in general one application will not completely remove for example a polymer based wax like our Ultimate Wax, but it will knock it down pretty well, so yes, it would be recommended to follow with one of our protectants after an application.

Not only does it sound a little harsh. How often do you have to rinse your wash mitt. Before every application? or does it depend on the amount of dirt on the vehicle? After applying do you have to rinse vehicle?

Sorry for showing how far i am behind. Just trying to grasp all the new products, and technology.

Hmm AG should probably edit the product description a little then. Sounds like this is for people who have access to a wash mitt and hose but strangely not a bucket and want a quick wash and light defect removal in one step.

Short shelf life I'm predicting...

They spent the R&D time and money to make this but yet discontinue D114, LOL!
 
Seems like a bigger pain in the azz than a regular wash.

applying it straight to the mitt instead of wash bucket where it will be diluted will probably affect the outcome since it says it will polish away light scuffs. this looks like a product that would work well as part of the paint decontamination process before polishing..
 
Self-Service car wash? You have a wash mitt and use the pressure sprayer to clean the mitt. I can't see doing a whole car this way, but maybe a quickie wash on the dirtiest parts? Or if your date is really short, you just clean her door below the window :)
 
I'm just thinking about the mechanics of this. So I have a mitt on one of my hands then pick up the hose and wet the mitt. Then set down the hose, pick up the bottle of the shampoo and squeeze some on the mitt, wash a panel, then set the bottle down and pick up the hose again, spray the mitt to rinse it out, then set the hose down and pick up the shampoo bottle again to squeeze some onto mitt, and so on...

It would be much easier to rinse the mitt in a bucket of water, which take the same amount of movement as a regular two bucket wash, so using this product will not save time or effort. The selling point has to be the abrasive in the soap, presuming that is what's in there.
 
When I started detailing over 35 years ago we didn't use the two bucket method, instead we put the soap straight on the mitt or what ever we had then wet it with a hose.
When the mitt got dirty we simply rinsed it off and started again.
Made for a quick wash.

This product could have a chance to work well using only one clean water bucket.

That's what I was thinking too.

I would probably fill a bucket with water and grit guard to rinse the mitt, then proceed as recommended.
 
I got this and have tried it
Works well at getting scratches out from under door handles when you scrub it like you would manually compounding/polishing.

It does take out scuffs and tar,bugs well
.
I did 1 strip of product across MF wash mitt..Very foamy/lubricy...Did half car no dirty clinging onto mitt tenticals..
I was curious if it would strip an old spray sealant with the abraisives....Again scrubbed hard doing cross hatch pattern as once would by correcting paint by hand..
Rinsed off then sprayed again, beading gone...Next day it rained panel was beaded up...Wiped dry and sprayed with hose beaded up..

I'd be caution on soft dark paint..But so far it worked with out scratching for me when washing as one would normally.

Thank you for sharing your experience of the product.

I'm still not sure what to think of it and how it would makes things easier. I suppose it comes in handy for the more stubborn stuff. Then again, I already have bug & tar remover, denatured alcohol, and other decon products.

Could just be that I've been exposed to the world of detailing, and not looking at it from the average consumer level. Wash? Here's a shampoo. Wax? We have paste & spray. Want to strip and start over? Use this.

Probably the same way I see the use & convenience of Dial for face, while cosmetologists feel there's more to facial care than just soap.
