PRODUCT REVIEW: Wolfgang ÜBER Si02 Waterless Wash

Introduction:
Waterless washing is nothing new. It is something that has been around for a few years now. It is a category of washing that enables the user a way to clean the vehicle without the need for a hose and bucket. What is new is the fusion of Si02 technology into the waterless wash category. Nothing changes in the users process. What does change is added protection that is left behind. Now a waterless wash can be used as a true stand-alone product in that you don’t have to use a traditional LSP. Think of this product type as an AIO waterless wash with greatly enhanced protection ability.

Product Description:
Wolfgang SiO2 Waterless Wash is an inventive new approach to a waterless wash. By combining the benefits of Silica (SiO2) with the lubricity and ease of use of a waterless wash, Wolfgang SiO2 Waterless Wash will make your entire detailing process much easier than before! The SiO2 in Wolfgang SiO2 Waterless Wash creates an extremely hydrophobic surface tension that will ensure water beads up and rolls off your paint. Whether you live an area with restricted water or if you just want to take a different approach to washing your car, Wolfgang SiO2 Waterless Wash is an outstanding way to clean your car AND take advantage of SiO2 protection!

Conclusion:
With so many waterless wash products on the market now it can be difficult to choose from. Most if not all of them currently have some sort of polymer or protective “wax,” added in the mix. These have worked very well and continue to do so in there own regard.

Wolfgang Si02 Waterless Wash is the first product (that I’m aware of) to add Silica (Si02) to the mix. The added Silica offers much more protection and puts this product in a category of its own and really makes it the Über Waterless Wash. I just found my new go to waterless wash.

Very nice review Mike. Great documentation and explanation of your experience.

[C5Longhorn]

Thanks for taking the time to post the review. Another con may be price. It seems kinda expensive given that a WW may need to be used liberally depending on how dirty the panel and at 16 oz., You could go through a bottle fairly quick.

I’m in as soon as they make a concentrated...

[rlmccarty2000]

CarPro ECH2O has SiO2 added. If the Wolfgang SiO2 version was a concentrate like ECH2O I would try some. A 16 oz bottle would last me one car making it too expensive for me to use.

Thank you sir.

Sure thing.

It is fairly expensive. The best way would be to pick up at a 20% sale.

Good idea.

Until then, the gallon size on sale would be the way to go.

Well I'll be dang. I thought it was a Rinseless Wash. I just went out to check my bottle and sure enough, Waterless Wash.

Perhaps they will find a way to offer a concentrated version.

I could easily use that in 1 wash. I have some but I'll only use it light like a "drying aid" after a wash.

[Mike@DedicatedPerfection]

True. Depending on how dirty the vehicle is you may end up using 12oz or so. Also depends on the size of the vehicle.

I'm new to SiO2 use and have some questions about Wolfgang's SiO2 waterless wash.

Can I apply this right after polishing with Meguiars Ultimate liquid wax?
If I use this product 10-15 times can I use Meguiars Ultimate liquid wax over this? If not, how difficult will it be to remove the SiO2 to reapply the liquid wax?
What I'm asking is this a one way road that once I start down it, is there no turning back?

I'm thinking of using this product similar to Meguiars Ultimate Quik Wax but hoping that it lasts longer, sound reasonable?

Thank you for your time and information

You can use this to clean/shine up your Ultimate Liquid Wax, but wait 24 hours after Ultimate application. I don’t know this for sure, but I think you can reapply Ultimate Liquid Wax again after any amount of Uber SiO2 WW applications. I believe this because most newer sealants seem to do well on top of other sealants, based on my experience. Additionally, I think most sealants apply fine on SiO2. Uber is adding WG polymers including SiO2 on top of your old Ultimate Liquid Wax. I definitely don’t think it’s a one way road unless you measure longevity of a product in mere days and hours.

I can’t say whether Uber SiO2 waterless would last as long as Ultimate Quik Wax. I doubt it though. Quik Wax gets most people weeks to 2 months. I don’t know that this waterless wash can beat that. It’s advantage may be a better or at least new-to-you shine. If you like that shine a lot, then this is worth using.

Please note, there is also a WG SiO2 Spray Sealant that may be a better option for you if you’re looking to replace Quik Wax and only apply on a clean vehicle.

I like the waterless wash feature for touch-ups and removing bird crap.

Thanx for your prompt response and info, I'm going to give it a try in the next day or 2. I like the waterless wash feature for touch-ups and removing bird crap.

Good, and those touch ups are the advantage of having the WW, especially one like this. If you were going to be drenching the car and doing full washes I may suggest a concentrated WW for the sake of your wallet, but for touching up as a glorified QD or using as a drying aid, this one becomes more economical and from what I’m reading it looks really nice.

CAN THIS PRODUCT BE USED AS A RINSELESS WASH? (i.e. Can I dilute it down with distilled water or some type of treated water and use a sponge to wash the vehicle with the solution to use as a RINSELESS WASH similar to what ONR does?) I have a daily driver I just waxed with one of the new CERAMIC PASTE WAXES which is an Si02 infused wax. It's not a "ceramic coating" per se but it does have Si02 properties in the wax itself and I only use Si02 maintenance products such as Ceramic Detail Spray on it as my drying aide and quick detailer to maintain the hydrophobic properties of the wax which are excellent. Can I take this Wolfgang Si02 Waterless Wash and use it as a rinseless wash diluted down say 10 to 1 with water?

Thanks in advance for any comments, suggestions, or alternatives regarding this question.

I don’t know the answer to proper dilution amount of this product for an RW and not sure if you’ll get one.

Ech2O at 1oz per 2gal water is the alternative. Grab Ech2O for $16 and get 16 gallons of RW out of it.
