Hello, I have used Infinite Use Detail Juice for many years. The original and the ONE. Like the original the best.

I”m just about out and looking for an alternative concentrate product to replace.

The reason for replacing is Shipping is expensive from Gary Dean for just one bottle and seems like no discounts recently.

What other products will work similarly from a “best bang for Buck” or “worth the extra money”?

Thanks in advance.

Current use will be 2023 Jeep GC Baltic Gray and 2023 Mercedes GLC300 Cardinal Red
 
Ultima Waterless Wash. Dilution ratio is 1/2 ounce to 22 oz of water. The acrylic formula is double that.

Maniac waterless wash from Mafra (Labocosmetica) gets good reviews but haven’t used mine yet.

Carpro ECH20 is my go-to for Water-less products, for rinse-less I prefer either ONR or Absolute.

Ditto. I rarely do a waterless wash, but ECH2O is my QD product of choice. Has been for many years.

I do have a bottle of Griots Ceramic Speed shine in my autocross event supply tub. I use it to clean the doors before applying the numbers. It seems to work pretty well for little spot cleaning jobs like that, but the flexibility and economy of ECH2O is really hard to beat.
 
OP, do you mind if the product leaves behind protection like a "wash & wax" or would you prefer something more like a straight up cleaner?

I used Wolfgang Uber sio2 rinseless recently and really enjoyed it. Left behind some very nice gloss and left the paint feeling slick, even cleaned the wheels with it.
 
These days, I'm almost all Optimum.

They just came out with a new watheleswash, but I've been using their Opti Clean. I wish that I had a product like that in the 90's.

I also really liked Ech2o.

The place where I work is launching their own product line, and I love our waterless too. Probably my favorite product out of the line.

For quick detail, Optimum Instant Detaier & Gloss Enhancer. It's super glossy and super slick.

In that case I’d recommend this.
Meguiars D115. For me it’s the best waterless wash I’ve used.

It’s the concentrated version of this. You can dilute anywhere from 1:4 all the way up to 1:20
So at its highest concentration that gallon yields 5 gallons.
Or you can stretch that gallon to make up to 21 gallons.

I always mixed it at 1:4. You can waterless wash a full on dirty car no problem with that stuff and the protection it leaves is very legit.

I also have Carpro Ech20 and it’s ok, but using it especially at its most potent dilution is pretty much guaranteed to leave steaks/haze that you must come back and buff off whereas the Meguiars Waterless Wash you never have that issue of having to check for steaks or coming back to buff haze off your paint.
 
What dilution gives you streaking with ECH2O? I never experienced anything like that and I typically use a 1:20 or maybe a little thinner dilution as a quick detailer.
