Review: DP Waterless Auto Wash

[Rapidity]

Killr had sent some of this a while back and after all the rain lately (Ernesto) I got the chance to try it out today.

I had rinsed the car off Friday after the storms but there was sap or something left over from some of the leaves. Apparently I caused some REALLY bad water spots after rinsing the car off. But it was night and I went to bed.

Today, I didn't have time for a full wash and really wanted to get to get the car back in good shape before heading out. I knew I had this stuff so I grabbed it and my quick detailer and ran outside. It had no problem getting rid of water spots and stuff left over from leaves that were blown on the car.

I really didn't have to use the QD'er after the auto wash but I did in some areas. The paint looked great after using just the wash. I think this stuff will definitely keep a spot in my glove box at least. Before getting on autogeek, I had always just used a QD'er for touch ups if I wasn't washing the car. Since I joined, I'm way more careful with causing swirls. Plus I tried my QD'er on the water spots and it didn't touch them. The DP waterless wash had no problems with them.

If you haven't tried it, you should. Not sure how it compares to other vendors but this stuff is great!

Oh and thanks again Killr! :cheers:

The DP 4-in-1 is actually or can actually be used as a qd'er also. Thats the great part of this product, and Optimums No Rinse. The dilution ratio is all that matters between wash, clay lube, qd'er, and water conditioner.


Im glad you tried it ....

I don't think this stuff is the 4-in-1... I think it's this:

see my senility is taking over Im the MAN Im the MAN Im the MAN as I forgot which samples I sent ya. You are correct, the waterless wash is really intended for light washing after a rain or drizzle and where typical washing is forbidden, product has lubricants. In a pinch it could be used as a qd'er but doesnt offer and enhancement (UV Protection, Gloss)

Has anyone compared this to Poorboy's Spray & Wipe?

You're probably looking at the price for the small size of S&W which is 16 oz. The small size for the DP Waterless Wash is 32 oz.
