I apologize if this has been covered, but I can get lost in the threads quickly. Recently I fell in love with PNS and have properly coated my phantom black RS5. I live in a rural area that has farmland all around, soybean/corn dust is plentiful this time of year. I have found that anything with carnauba attracts way too much dust, hence the PNS.


With a fear of marring/scratching with the dust here, I am consider using UWW+ or Uber rinseless (waterless form) over PNS to keep clean. I have not used BSD as a waterless wash yet, but can be an option. Anybody have experience with cleaning/maintaining PNS with any of these products?
Will BSD build up over time as a waterless wash regularly? Does UWW+ contain carnauba or degrade the beading of PNS?

Any thoughts are very much appreciated.
 
Ultima WW+ as a rinseless wash is amazing. It has Polycharger, so will leave something behind for a few days, but beads well actually.

To regularly maintain any sealant, just wash and dry properly honestly.

Uber rinses cleaner between the two. It flashes away quicker during drying stage. UWW+ can feel a little oily at times. I've especially noticed this during high humidity.

BSD is great for maintaining that insane beading, but I prefer using it on clean paint rather than tackling dust/debris.

Rinseless. Dry. BSD.
 
If it's really that dusty you may want to spray/power wash rinse it before doing a rinseless wash. The last time I say a vehicle covered in that dust it was pretty heavy.
 
Thanks guys, I experimented with a light to moderate dusting today. Uber with the waterless wash dilution on one panel, and I could still feel the "grab" from the PNS, still worked fine though. Next I used UWW+, and even to this day am blown away with how well it works. At least for now, UWW+ won hands down on slickness/gloss over PNS. I will continue this throughout the winter (do a rinseless wash or coin op with heavy salt) and hit is every once in a while with BSD.

P.S. I have also tried V07 alone and even mixing with BSD, but for some reason V07 collected a lot more dust, although I liked the look and slickness...not sure why though, but I will stick with UWW+ for now for maintenance.
 
Well, there ya go. UWW+ worked out well in this situation. I guess the heavier makeup matches PNS nicely. Thank you for sharing your finding.

I've found waterless tend to attract dust, which is why I prefer rinseless; more lubricity plus vehicle stays cleaner longer. Try this and see if it helps with the dusting issue (V07 as drying aid).
 
BSD will also work well as a drying aid for your UWW+ rinseless washes.

BSD has relatively decent cleaning ability on it's own, so anything that is missed during your rinseless wash can be easily picked up during your drying step.

Will help provide additional lubrication while drying to lessen the chance of marring.
 
Those are both great ideas, I will give the ole rinseless a try next time and drying aid with BSD. Thanks again!
