With my hectic schedule I don’t always have time for a traditional wash so when I came into work this morning and decided I would try waterless wash since my car was dirty from all the rain we had lately.

This was my first time ever trying a waterless wash and I was blown away by the results. I was afraid of putting scratches in the paint because I had buffed out all the swirls and put a coat of wax on three weeks ago but this product had great lubrication and did not scratch the surface at all. This product had no problem lifting up the bugs and road grime that was left on the car from my school commute and left a streak free finish. Make sure to have more than one towel keep the towel folded into sections and use a new section to wipe the surface down with so you do not rub dirt into the paint. You will notice in the picture below I used a Super Plush microfiber towel I used this towel since it is thick and has a microfiber Edge that will not scratch the paint. With this towel you can use it to easily wipe off spray waxes, quick detailer's, and waterless washes. One of main benefit’s of this product is it is going to give you that added protection in between waxing your car.

After wiping off the product even though I applied Wolfgang Fuzion to the surface three weeks ago the paint had a smoother feel to it than it did before. If you don’t have a hose or you are looking to add protection in between waxing I would recommend this product.

Nice job Bryan, I just noticed Bryan is back in the garage with Mike so expect a lot more of these reviews! Not bad for only being here two months!!!

I have PLCWWC through some fancy trading with another forum member. I like it.

1. The durability is like 2 weeks on my VW, but that's probably because the vehicle is in desperate need of a full detail and not because the product is not up to par. Still, 2 weeks is good enough for me.

2. The water beading is very good to excellent.

3. The scent is wierd. Some days I like it and other days it has this "medicinal" flare and I could care less; that's a first for me. Yes, same bottle and mixture folks. I cannot explain it any better than that.

I just got my 2010 Volkswagen CC a month ago and threw on some mag gold liquid wax. Its been about 2 weeks since then and a week since a wash. I used the LC for the 1st time on my car which at the time had water spots and dirt. I'm new to this forum, but quickly becoming an enthusiast. You can see I still have swirls, but i already have my Klasse twins waiting and still deciding on a wax for my first time 3 step detail. Also used some DP trim detailer on the trim. I think i need to apply another coat. I have to say i'm very happy with the shine and reflection i'm getting from this water-less wash. But I think I used too much. I went through a nice portion of the bottle. Next time i'll use it more sparingly.
