    Ech2O as Rinseless - First use impressions

    Receipt provided upon request (so as to prove I'm not shilling)




    Someone on ag posted 2oz for 3 gals of water.



    So:



    Stuff is really thick





    Don't know why the mitt looks dirty...






    Now I was doing this in garage getting ready for a car show (of course) and was running late.

    Washed with the geek rinseless mitt, dried with the little big blue towel









    This was at the show, I wanted to get the carbon fiber to see if any streaking etc: (since that's where it would show worst)




















    Now I was very careful drying the carbon fiber to try to make sure that it was correctly dry.
    This white part I did see some streaking (probably not dried correctly since I was in a rush), but it didn't show up on camera (and 99.8% of people wouldn't notice it anyway)
























    Final thoughts:
    On the tail ight bezels (black) I did get some water spotting that didn't come off with spray and wipe and micro. Water gets trapped in the bezels, then comes out when driving.

    Stuff adds nice gloss and slickness (I think since it's not a naked canvas), and a nice feel.
    Made my hands feel soft and smooooth.
    Smell is decent

    Thanks for your review. Have you tried it in the water less, or detail spray modes yet?
    Love the Corvette!

    I've not used it for a Rinseless but for waterless yes and as a detail spray yes. Love it. Adds a nice gloss and very slick which is wonderful on black.

    Works great. I have it mixed right at the waterless and QD dilution. Works really nice.

    I find for when you rinseless wash your car with Ech2O, use warm-er water and after stirring it, let it sit for about 5 minutes or so, and then re-stir the mixture. Seems to make a more even solution because of how thick the concentrate it.
