Mothers Waterless Wash & Wax

[Ron Atchison]

I received a surprise package from Jimmy D at Mothers a week or so ago containing Mothers newest product, Mothers California Gold Waterless Wash & Wax. I use waterless washes on almost every detail but rarely do I use them to wash a car. I normally use them for door and trunk jambs, bird bombs, water spots and the occasional dusty car normally from sitting in the garage. I like the total control I have of the spray and they clean and generally make short work of these often neglected areas. But that’s where they all fall short in comparison to Mothers new offering they simply clean.

Mothers Waterless Wash & Wax not only does everything the others do but also leaves behind some protection in the form of a spray on wax. So for me in the case of doing door jambs my normal routine would be to use a waterless wash then follow behind with a spray wax. So in essence I’m doing two tasks at once and saving a lot of time and money in the process. I no longer need to have a waterless wash or quick detailer type of product along with a spray wax. This one product has replaced two for me in the manner in which I use them.

Pros:
1.- Cleans well.

Cons:

1. None in my mind but some may say the price is high in comparison to the others out there but do the others also leave behind a wax coating. So considering its doing the job of two products then the price is in line.

Final Observations and Summary:

I really like this product, once again Mothers has another winner. For my personal cars and to my eyes, it is an easy choice.
As I said earlier I don’t normally wash cars with a waterless product but to test it out I used it on my Tuxedo Black SHO. The car was moderately dirty to my standards and the air temperature was hot and very humid it had rained most of the day. I figured it was good test it out to see how well it cleaned and whether or not it was going to be difficult to wipe off and leave streaks with the high humidity. Well it did one and not the other. It cleaned very well and left absolutely no streaks with just a normal amount of wiping that you would expect. The humidity had no effect on it what’s so ever.
The results:












How dirty is too dirty is the question that seems to be asked a lot. Well in my opinion these door jambs are too dirty for a waterless wash. The way I handled these was to rinse them off first to get all the heavy dirt off then use Mothers Waterless Was & Wax. I think they came out great.









Thank you for viewing.

Good review! Question: did you use the product in the sun? The after pics look to be in the sun, so I wasn't sure.
