Waterless

[img]

Just used the DP waterless wash--was quite impressed.

Has anyone used the DP 4-in-1--thinking about trying it, as it appears
more cost effective (don't know if I want the "shine" properties though.

thanks

I use the ONR, which is the same. I like it. Was thinking of trying the DP 4-in-1. But I have only tried it as a wash, not clay lube or QD.

Waterless Wash:
The DP waterless wash is not something I have tried so I can't give a comparison, but.....
Poorboy's Spray & Wipe waterless wash works great.
I buy it by the gallon - $32.99 compared to the DP waterless at $44.99 a gallon.
You will also find that you will probably use less per wash after you have used a waterless product a few times. Once you start to trust it, you won't feel like you have to completly soak each panel.

Rinseless Wash:
Having used both the DP 4 in 1 and the Optimum No Rinse, I can't really say that I see any real difference in performance or results.
The ONR is slightly cheaper at $39.99 a gallon where DP 4 in 1 is $44.99 a gallon.
The ONR is also supposed to be used at a ratio of 1/2 oz. per gallon where the 4 in 1 is to be mixed at 1 oz. per gallon.
Both seem to do the job and since the ONR is quite a little less money per use, that might influence your decision.

I use Poorboys Spray & Wipe, i love it too, I too have it by the gallon. A little goes a long way with this product.Im the MAN

I use 4n1 and SW for my winter washings. I love both and the 4n1 works great as a QD and wash product.

I also use S&W as a QD and love it for that purpose as well. I just cut it 3:1 with distilled water. Smells great and leaves a nice shine.

I have not tried the 2 waterless wash products mentioned here. I started using Dri Wash n Guard. I think I was snubbed on most sites whenever I talked about a Waterless Car Wash. But I see now that things are changing. The economy,gas prices, water restrictions,etc. Looks like the Waterless Products are going to be the way to go in the future!

The economy,gas prices, water restrictions,etc. Looks like the Waterless Products are going to be the way to go in the future!Six years ago, I would have told people they were crazy to even suggest I use a waterless wash. Today, the Spray & Wipe is one of my most used products.
A waterless or rinseless wash has almost completely replaced my bucket washes, but I do have some reservations on when to use them.
When my vehicles have a lot of build up of mud or salt residue, I stop by the DIY or a touchless drive-thru to knock of as much of the crap as I can. I do have a 2300# pressure washer that I sometimes use for the same purpose. It's just more work than I want to do when I can just drive through the touchless when I'm in the area. Since I usually apply more wax/sealant every 4 to 6 weeks, the soap removing any wax is of no great concern to me. The underbody wash and the capability of cleaning the wheel wells with high pressure is also a benefit. (In my mind anyway.) :)
Waterless or rinseless may not be for everybody, but it works for me.

As far as Dri Wash n Gard and similar products such as Wet Paint, I wasn't terribly impressed with their cleaning ability when I tried them on my boat. The S&W seemed to do a better job with much less rubbing required. The white overspray residue was another thing I didn't care for. I also wasn't interested in their wash & wax combination. The DW&G was given away and I think I still have some of the Wet Paint on a shelf in the basement.
FWIW, I did not see any marring with either product. Just didn't care for the way they worked.
