    Re: The best waterless wash

    Do a rinseless vs a waterless….Search here on the difference, rinseless is much easier on your paint. I like car Pro Ech20. It’s also waterless, depending on how you mix it.

    I would trust a rinseless to take care of more dirt. However, if you’re only taking care of light road dirt or dust then a waterless then a waterless is fine. I just started using Ech2o and like it. It can be used as either a waterless or rinseless.

    We will agree to disagree. I will never trust a dry/moist microfiber that a waterless would use over a completely sopping wet microfiber in a rinseless application, no matter how much dirt or dust is on the car.

    Re: The best waterless wash

    I do a waterless/rinseless wash mix, essentially prespray but only do a rinseless. I personally wouldn’t do a waterless. I recently tried N-914 as a stronger, periodic rinseless and it is decent though not quite as lubricious as I’d like. My favorite waterless is Uber SiO2 Rinseless. And on my son’s vehicle that I haven’t had time to put on a ceramic coating, the Uber SiO2 gives pretty good protection shown as beading water.

    For synergy’s sake…
    You could stay within the BLACKFIRE line-up
    by going with BLACKFIRE Waterless Wash.


    Try a sample to see if it meets
    your expectations.

    Re: The best waterless wash

    I too am rinseless over waterless even if only lightly dusty. I haven’t seen marring with waterless but i feel the two are equal effort and I always choose more lubricity. Try both see what you like better.

    Since your asking for the best waterless i would recommend Griots Spray on Car Wash. great reviews on AutoGeek and Griots site.

    Griot's Garage Waterless Spray-On Car Wash, Griots Garage Waterless Wash, Car Wash Spray, Waterless Car Washing

    I personally do not like Ech20 as a waterless. Leaves a great shine if you don’t mind the effort. but to much buffing unless you mix it weak. I like my wash process to be easy...... really Nice as a rinseless though.

    My favorite non hose method is Ammo frothe. Feel the foam has more lubrication than a standard waterless or rinseless.

    I usually do a Rinseless, but if the car is just dusty and no dirt baked on, sometimes I do a WW with Ultima WW. Lots of lubrication, used with proper towels and technique, I have not gotten any swirls. But no question, a RR is generally the safer way to go.

    Re: The best waterless wash

    My all-time favorite waterless wash is Meguiars D115 Express Wash and Wax. I love the way it cleans and glosses up the paint. The paint feels super slick and the scent is so pleasant it is addictive. Here is a thorough review on Autogeek from 2013:

    Re: The best waterless wash

    Thanks everyone...for your opinion's .......since I will be 80 next month, I think using waterless spray will be easier....when the car is dusty...if it has dirt on it then I will use a rinseless wash....does this make sense
