just stumbled across this product and couldn't find much info on it.... it's not sold on AG which is a little weird since they have everything else Ultima....it looks like pretty good stuff, same cleaning and slickness of the regular UWW+ but with more polycharged polymers to give it increased hydrophobicity.... the dilution seems a little stronger from what I've seen at 1oz per 22oz bottle compared to UWW at 1/2oz to 22oz bottle.

any info or personal experience with it would be appreciated

I have it, and LOVE IT. It is amazing. It reminds me a lot of Wolfgang Rinseless, but just way more slick and such pop. I have my vehicle coated currently, and I either use Wolfgang, Ultima Acrylic or Gloss Shop Trifecta for my waterless/rinseless wash routine. checking out CarPro Echo2 next. IMO you should try it where you can buy it. I can send you a small sample as well to try out. you'll love it! not as economical ass it's brother UWW+ but its way better, and for something to be better than the original says a lot.

Trifecta has been my go to since it came out. I've tried them all. This one is my choice for waterless and rinseless.

I love Trifecta for all three of its uses. As a rinseless its great, i use a tad more than suggested(but i do this with all products). It's really slick. their detail spray is pretty top notch too. They all work well with their coating as well. I use Trifecta in the WW ratio as a presoak follow up rinseless style. Again if you're interested i know you're in Pasadena we can literally just drive and meet up at a starbucks for a minute and i can give you a sample.
 
welp I couldn't help myself, I gave into the desire and ordered it from Amazon to try....it arrives Tuesday and I can't wait to try it!

I was gonna try Trifecta but with $10 for shipping it was a real turn off so MAYBE next time
 
What is Trifecta dilution? 1 to 64? Hm, I'm using 1 to 128 of D114 and I need a gallon to finish Mz3 HB or VT including tires.
 
Rinseless wash…mix 1oz. of concentrate per 2 gallons of water.

Waterless wash & wax…mix 1/2 oz. per 32 oz. of water.

Spray wax…mix 1 oz. to 15 oz. of water.

What makes it better than all in your opinion?

I've tried TW, ONRWW, Ultima WW+, M37 RFWW, Wolf Uber and now N914 and honestly not one has given me a big enough "wow" factor over another.
 
The gloss is off the charts but even better and I know this sounds crazy... the car stays much cleaner. I used it yesterday and drove through two rain storms today. You'd never know the car was in the rain. No spots, no splash marks on the side panels. Nothing. I used to fret whenever it rained right after I washed my car. Now I wish it. Some will say the car is probably coated which keeps it cleaner. Wrong , it has a sealant on it FK1000p topped with Ultima acrylic spray wax. I've used other rinseless products on this same combo but they couldn't stay clean for long.
 
I just opened my last bottle of UWW+ or I'd be all over that Acrylic right now. I'm intending to use it as a topper/spray wax after routine washes. UWW+ does a pretty good job of bringing back the gloss but I hear the Acrylic is on a whole new level.

ooohhhh so ur saying Ultima Acrylic is the best you've used?....I was mistaken and thought u were talking about Trifecta
 
Yeah now that I'm re-reading silverfoxes post, I'm not sure if he is referring to Trifecta or Ultima?
 
It's sold on CarPros website as well. I wonder the affiliate, maybe CarPro owns this company?

Ultima is under the umbrella of Premium Finish Care I believe....and Trifecta, that's from The Gloss Shop and actually developed by a forum member on this and numerous detail forums.

I have used Trifecta at a rinseless dilution and a spray wax and it really is a great product. It ranks up there with some of the other rinseless products.

Just to be clear: you're saying your car is staying cleaner longer after rain when you wash with this stuff? So it has better hydrophobic or dirt shedding properties? Not challenging, just trying to clarify. I live where it rains lot (150-200 days per year). The back of my SUV is perpetually filthy, even when coated. If I could somehow increase the dirt shedding ability I'd be all over it. This does sound a little like magic...

And the last thing I need is another waterless/rinseless in my garage, but based on your comments I may give it a try.
