| How Long Does it Take You to Complete a Waterless Wash?
After reading all the praise for Ultima Waterless Wash Plus, I ordered a bottle of concentrate. While I'm waiting for it to ship, I wanted to ask how long does everyone to complete a waterless wash on a midsize sedan? Thanks!

20 minutes for the wash, 15 minutes for the Hybrid V7 or other quick detailer afterwards for gloss. I have not found a single waterless wash that glossed the paint enough for me not to go over it one more time with a dedicated spray sealant or QD.

Oh and to the OP, it takes me about 15-20 minutes. Takes me another 15-20 minutes to do the wheels.

I use UWW+ and it doesn't gloss up black enough for me. It's fine for my wife's gray Audi, but on black it definitely doesn't pop. YMMV, I guess.

You need to try Duragloss 931. It already has Aquawax in it so it leaves a nice shine. I used it today on a truck that was not too dirty and it turned out nice!

UWW and Duragloss 931 both leave a nice enough gloss to stand on their own IMO. I can't leave well enough alone though!

I'm switching from the two bucket method, to the waterless And rinseless camp. Much faster, less work. Blackfire and DP are my current choice. After the waterless or rinseless wipe down i'll go back over it with the rinseless at the QD dilution.

It varies on the vehicle. An Accord sized car gets done quite quickly. My RAV4 takes an hour or so without wheels. The roof requires a ladder and it has to be moved multiple times per side. The rear door where the spare is mounted has a lot of small panels and is quite finicky to do.

'Bout thirty to forty minutes. Their again, like Rsurfer mentioned, the wheels take as long to do as doing the car its self.
