Ok everyone so after reading numerous threads it all seems this is the best way to go for washing.

I have one car coated in Polish Angel and another black SUV that I'm going to coat with Wolfgang Ceramic once the warm weather breaks.

Now I have read alot about washes leaving something behind, wax etc..

What is my best option? I would like to order it possibly this afternoon as there is a decent sale.

Any links to the product and microfiber to get the job done would be great.

Thanks

If your vehicles have a coating on them, Carpro Ech20 would probably be your best bet for waterless washes. It is meant to work with coatings and as with most waterless wash concentrates, it can also be diluted to a quick detailer or clay lubricant.
 
^ Thanks to the above that was the name of the product that I read about numerous times. That will be my product and now just need a stack of microfibres

I've been using ech2o as my go to, it does great at adding gloss to a coated car. If you don't want that then I'd also try megs d115 it cleans well and leaves a nice slickness. If you want nothing left and just your coating then mckees n914

Regardless of which waterless you go with, I honestly feel Corey of CarPro really nailed it with the technique:


Plenty of how-to videos demonstrating waterless; spray, wipe, and buff. Not bad, but the above seems to be the safer approach. Trying to get everything in a swoop might not be the best idea when it comes to waterless.

Ech20 is highly recommended for coated vehicles, so the vid is a double bonus in itself. Now that's what I'd called a happy accident.

To me:
Your above posting isn't very clear on
whether you want a WW product that
either does, or does not, leave something
behind---Wax, etc.

Feed back please

Sorry all if not clear

I'm good if something is left behind but doesn't affect the coating durability. If that makes sense. I'm happy with what I have been using as a coating between the Polish Angel Viking Coat. And the future use of the Wolfgang. Just want something that is pretty much universal to use to WW both coated cars. Thanks

Thanks for the clarification.

(Then, IMO, any of the WWs
sold here @AGO will suffice.)

My experience is that some of the waterless washes can streak or haze when viewed in certain lighting. Ech2o though works fantastic in all of its dilution ratios. I love the product. It works well over Blackfire, Kamkkaze, and Gtechniq coatings very well, so I would strongly suggest to try it over any of the coating products.

yeah look how clean the car he's washing is though, thats nothing compared to winter snowstorm salt.

Thats the nice thing about Ech2o, you can use it waterless, or rinseless. If there is a bit of grime, I just pressure wash it off and pull it in the garage and do a rinseless.

Huh, I thought it was a pretty straight forward message: If one chooses to go waterless, it's best to apply in multiple applications vs trying to clean up in one go.

For me I generally spot clean with waterless. Other than that it's rinseless. Not only more lubrication, but happens so that I could actually clean the entire vehicle a whole lot faster than 'spray & wipe.'
 
Thanks everyone. My use for WW is leaning towards cleaning the cars in the spring / summer when dust and pollen are it's finest. Seems faster to wash this way and to cut back on the water bill a bit.
