    DP Waterless Auto Wash as rinseless wash?

    I was wondering since I have a couple bottles of the dp waterless wash concentrate, if it can be diluted to be used like there rinseless wash and gloss?

    Re: DP Waterless Auto Wash as rinseless wash?

    i was wondering that also!, seems to me like you might need to use more of the waterless autowash compared to the rinseless wash. do this open up the product page for the RWG and look at the dilution ratios for every thing then try to match the WAW dilution to the RWG..im guessing the WAW might work just as good if not better as im thinking it would have more lubricity then the RWG. figure out a calculation and give it a try. if the water feels sorta slimy and slick then should be good!....just look at ultimas waterless wash, its advertised as a waterless wash yet has directions for rinseless wash...good luck to you, like i said just try to calculate dilution ratios and give it a test....heres a webpage i use a lot and have it bookmarked showing how to make correct dilution.

    I wouldn't use it as a rinseless. It works beautifully as a waterless wash. If you want rinseless use Rinseless Wash and Gloss or Optimum No Rinse.

    100% agree. I believe the dilution rate would not be cost effective. Ultima WW+ isnt cost competitive with ONR or DP as a rinseless and its dilution rate for WW is 40 to 1. DP is 4 to 1 as a waterless.

    Re: DP Waterless Auto Wash as rinseless wash?

    I got some DP Waterless Wash CC on bogo and I didn't like it. That's not a knock against DP, but I just don't think waterless washing is for me.
    Now that I have two big jugs of it, I experiment. I put some in my soap bucket during a tradition wash like some people do with ONR (seems OK), I've tried it as clay lube (doesn't seems any slicker than DP Rinseless), and as a pre-soak for rinseless on an extra dirty car (doesn't hurt).
