Waterless wash is a high lubricity wash that you use in a spray bottle, and can be used if your low on time, your car have light dust or dirt, and even in the winter when the weather is too cold to use a bucket wash, Rinseless wash is a wash that uses the two bucket method without a hose, and can be used when the weather is warmer but both methods can be used any time, and saves lot's of water too
This is an area on which we have been working lately. The question of 'better' has been brought up to us and my feeling is that waterless wash has potential to be dramatically superior to rinseless. The reason is plain and simple - activity level. With rinseless, the absolute maximum level of the product is 100%. In practice, it is more likely well below 50% (certainly any which I have examined). These products are then diluted significantly before use. At a level of 50:1 this means that the wash solution will be well below 1% active. Now, waterless wash does not suffer this trouble. It can be strong at using strength because users do not dilute it. In practice, it cannot be very high because this would make it prone to leaving residues but it is not abnormal to have a waterless wash with activity of the order of 5%. You can quickly see that the waterless has potential to be a whole lot more potent. Moreover, in theory, a waterless wash could simply be formulated by taking a rinseless wash and diluting to using strength. The reverse is often not true, many waterless washes could only be made to a concentration perhaps 5x before it would be impossible to produce.
I will admit to being unsure of either approach. If I was to risk one on my own paint, it would be waterless.
