Sorry, this isn't going to be an informative review on how to use a waterless wash or boring pictures of a panel that is half dirty and half clean that a camera angle may or may not show swirls. This is just intended to be my thoughts on how this product preformed for me. .

PBMG was kind enough to send me out a bottle of this prior to it's release for some testing. I have tried many WW's that are on the market and have settled with UWWP as my personal choice for WW due to it's overall great performance and amazing value when purchased in concentrate form. So I feel that what I expect a WW to do has some pretty high standards.

My choice of cleaning media is always a plush MF for WW such as the Chinchillas. I also do not expect a WW to safely remove heavy grime and mud after a full day of 4 wheeling. Very light dust, non baked on bug remains and smudges IS what I expect a WW to remove safely from my finish.

Enter BF WDWW. Pretty simple summary here....

-Cleans very well.

-Safely removes particles with out marring or scratching the surface.

-Wipes off with ease and finishes streak free even in temps down to 35F

-Has a subtile citrus(lemony) scent that is nice.

-Supplied sprayer in the RTU version does a great job at atomizing product.

-Overall just a great product that I really enjoyed using

-I feel that this and UWWP perform exactly the same and both are the finest WW's available.


I know UWWP has Poly Charger in it.

BF WDWW has polymers in that bond to the paint to add some protection while revitalizing the freshly waxed look.

UWWP concentrate cost $21 for 5.5 gallons of useable product while BF cost considerably more in terms of useable product. That being said, I have not noticed any real enhancement in the look department from BF but I have noticed that beading can be increased if you LSP is falling off, so obviously there the polymers are grabbing hold and doing something. In comparison, I notice UWWP does add some protection but not as much.

I personally treat a WW as a wash and don't expect gloss enhancement or protection from them but knowing that you get some is nice.

My conclusion: While the price may be more than my personal favorite, I feel you have to give this a shot. If you are using the BF system on your vehicle, perhaps the polymers can be a real benefit to the look or durability(perhaps Todd can step in here and maybe better explain how exactly the polymers in the WW really play with the other BF products).

For me to even say a product compares or is equal to UWWP makes it a winner in my book. Another great BF product for sure.

Thanks, Jim
 
Hmm I didn't know that BF was releasing one. I personally like ONR but I love giving new products a try. Thanks for the info Jim! Well documented for sure
 
I am a huge BF advocate, but it better be magic in a bottle at that price. I wonder if it is polycharged?

BF is releasing a rinseless wash like ONR. This is the waterless wash that I did Here.

Thanks for the compliment! :props:

Haha I gathered as much. Just hadn't read that BF was releasing one. I have yet to try any BF products. I'm afraid that once I do, I'll have to keep purchasing :(

LOL I hear ya. And they say crack is addictive....
 
Another product that has really impressed me is Meg's new ultimate wash & wax anywhere. I never thought anything could compare to ultima waterless wash. This product blew me away although not nearly as cost effective as UWW. The slickness and look far surpasses ultimate Quik wax yet it's safer being a waterless wash. I like it even more than the new XMT spray wax which is a grest procuct. Why? Becsuse spray waxes require a perfectly clean car. Waterless washes like the new megs and BF are quickly making detail sprays almost obsolete because they are much safer with far more lubricity and they not only look great but add protection almost as well as some spray waxes which are put on weekly or bi weekly.
 
Great review Jim! I agree with you on pretty much all your points! It's a great product for sure, just wish it was a little cheaper..
 
Yes, with all of the other great offerings out there, the price needs to be a little lower. Or else it better wipe itself off :D
 
Great review, Jim! Glad to hear it didnt knock UWW+ off the mountain top!

Well said John! Qd has been dead to me since the concentrated WW's were released in 2010.
 
Great review Jim! I agree with you on pretty much all your points! It's a great product for sure, just wish it was a little cheaper..

The polymers in it are supposed to work well with the rest of the New BF products and add both protection and gloss. So if you are sticking to a BF platform, this is a must have.

Thanks for the compliment! :props:
