    Now I have read alot about washes leaving something behind, wax etc..

    What is my best option? I would like to order it possibly this afternoon as there is a decent sale.

    Any links to the product and microfiber to get the job done would be great.

    Thanks

    well i do think the waterless washes are nice it depends how dirty the car is. if it looked like mine today with a ton of grime and road salt everywhere a waterless wash just wouldn't cut it

    Ech20 is highly recommended for coated vehicles, so the vid is a double bonus in itself. Now that's what I'd called a happy accident.
    yeah look how clean the car he's washing is though, thats nothing compared to winter snowstorm salt.

    Thats the nice thing about Ech2o, you can use it waterless, or rinseless. If there is a bit of grime, I just pressure wash it off and pull it in the garage and do a rinseless.

    Here it is used in a video as a rinseless. He pulled it off on a car way dirtier than I would attempt. Lots of winter grime including snow travel. Check it out.

    Huh, I thought it was a pretty straight forward message: If one chooses to go waterless, it's best to apply in multiple applications vs trying to clean up in one go.

    For me I generally spot clean with waterless. Other than that it's rinseless. Not only more lubrication, but happens so that I could actually clean the entire vehicle a whole lot faster than 'spray & wipe.'

    Thanks everyone. My use for WW is leaning towards cleaning the cars in the spring / summer when dust and pollen are it's finest. Seems faster to wash this way and to cut back on the water bill a bit.
