    Best waterless wash

    I was wondering what's the best waterless wash. Now that the winter season is almost upon us it's time to start detailing in the garage

    Re: Best waterless wash

    Without using as such I'm going to predict the answer....

    Wolfgang Uber Rinseless at the proper dilution.

    I like Meguiars D115, but it isn't as economical as some other brands at waterless dilutions.

    I'm enjoying carpro echo2, Wolfgang is very nice ad well. Ultima I'd also very nice. Depends on what smell you like I suppose..

    Re: Best waterless wash

    Yup, depends what you're in the mood for. They're so close to each other at waterless, it's really splitting hair.

    With that, from my observation:

    D114 cleans exceptionally well at 1:128, but grabby.

    UWW+ & D115 are on par.

    Pinn Liquid Crystal edges out the two above, but requires a little more buffing.

    Uber is very slick & very glossy, but doesn't offer protection like UWW+ and others. And to be honest, doesn't clean as strong. Not weak, but UWW+ beats it for sure.

    Re: Best waterless wash

    I have to say the Wolfgang Uber Rinseless, mixed as waterless, is pure awesome!

    I also am fond of Pinnacle Waterless for the carnauba it leaves behind. (You can read my review of it here.)

    But, if I had to pick only one, Wolfgang all the way.

    Best waterless wash

    Wolfgang Uber gets my vote for "best" now that D114 has been discontinued (RIP).

    So hoping that AG develops a rinseless as good as D114 with the same characteristics.

    I also enjoy using Infinite Use Detail Juice (best smell hands down) and have tried Trifecta a few times, but was underwhelmed by it's cleaning ability.

    The smell of D115 is just too overpowering to come out of my cabinet.

    Have not tried ONR, as the comments about "staining media" and sometimes leaving your towels crunchy has dissuaded me from buying it.

    Best rinseless? Of the current offerings it has to be Wolfgang Uber. It just does everything well.

    Edit: Just realized OP was interested in best "waterless" and not necessarily best rinseless. Would have to throw Spray and Wipe from Poorboys into that discussion!

    That's actually one of my favorite things about D115, but I could see that if you aren't fond of the scent it could be overpowering.
