    Water Less Wash

    Ok everyone so after reading numerous threads it all seems this is the best way to go for washing.

    I have one car coated in Polish Angel and another black SUV that I'm going to coat with Wolfgang Ceramic once the warm weather breaks.

    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

    If your vehicles have a coating on them, Carpro Ech20 would probably be your best bet for waterless washes. It is meant to work with coatings and as with most waterless wash concentrates, it can also be diluted to a quick detailer or clay lubricant.

    I've been using ech2o as my go to, it does great at adding gloss to a coated car. If you don't want that then I'd also try megs d115 it cleans well and leaves a nice slickness. If you want nothing left and just your coating then mckees n914

    Re: Water Less Wash

    Regardless of which waterless you go with, I honestly feel Corey of CarPro really nailed it with the technique:



    Plenty of how-to videos demonstrating waterless; spray, wipe, and buff. Not bad, but the above seems to be the safer approach. Trying to get everything in a swoop might not be the best idea when it comes to waterless.

    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.

    To me:
    Your above posting isn't very clear on
    whether you want a WW product that
    either does, or does not, leave something
    behind---Wax, etc.

    Sorry all if not clear

    I'm good if something is left behind but doesn't affect the coating durability. If that makes sense. I'm happy with what I have been using as a coating between the Polish Angel Viking Coat. And the future use of the Wolfgang. Just want something that is pretty much universal to use to WW both coated cars. Thanks

    Thanks for the clarification.

    (Then, IMO, any of the WWs
    sold here @AGO will suffice.)

    Re: Water Less Wash

    My experience is that some of the waterless washes can streak or haze when viewed in certain lighting. Ech2o though works fantastic in all of its dilution ratios. I love the product. It works well over Blackfire, Kamkkaze, and Gtechniq coatings very well, so I would strongly suggest to try it over any of the coating products.

    Re: Water Less Wash

    To keep from streaking I add more water. When I do that I apply more product to keep the panel lubricated and it gets rid of the streaking issue
