Waterless Detailing Waterless Wash System (http://www.chemicalguys.com/Waterless_Detailing_Waterless_Wash_System_p/wac_707.htm)
Has anyone tried this stuff? If it works like advertised, it should be a great addition to every detailer

Looks like it has clay and wax in it. Doesn`t sound very different than the old DRI WASH and Guard.

Have the pump sprayer and use Go Green Waterless Wash. Honestly, the pump sprayer is too expensive and problematic. It leaks and doesn`t work very well. Stick to the good old-fashioned spray bottle.

Yea, I think Go Green is the one I`m asking about. How does it work for you? Any marring?

The pump spray looks to be exactly the same as the USPlastics full function sprayer($15). Also I dislike how CG relabels products and jacks up their price. Take the Gebril wheel brush for $10 which is a Carrand sheepskin brush at walmart and pepboys for $6.

Works fine, but I personally prefer ONR. It is a true WATERLESS wash, but it definitely ruins a few towels in the process.

THE TOTAL DETAILING SOLUTION WITHOUT WATER!
I gallon deliver 8-10 gallons of WATERLESS DETAILING SOLUTION
16oz of ECOSMART mixes with 1 gallon of filtered or DI water.
Guaranteed to deliver a better shine in half the time, then any traditional Hose Wash.
The Average Carwash Takes 30-50 minutes and waste 120-260 gallons of water per wash.
Kaolin clay removes contamination while reducing friction
Detail a complete vehicle in just a few minutes without any waste or runoff.
A single Gallon of concentrate can detail 300+ vehicles.
Once diluted you can detail a complete full size vehicle with less then 4 oz of product.
NO WASTE NO WATER
100% SURFACE FRIENDLY
100% SCRATCH FREE
Volatile Organic Compound Compliant
If it has TO BE DILUTED 16/1 with filtered or DI water how is it then Totally waterless?

Its waterless because you are not using a bucket of water, hose or rinsing the car off. Waterless wash doesnt mean the product itself cannot contain water, everything does. It means you not using water like in a traditional wash.

Some waterless washes are in fact totally waterless, and thats not really a good thing. The petroleum based products do not allow for dilution, so higher shipping costs, also they do not take kindly to the presence of water on the cars surface(streaking). Waterbased bucket and hose free washes (B&HFW) are also much easier on the user, can clean a car that has been partially pre-rinsed(remove caked on mud form lower portions) and generally have faster acting polymers. Those with fast polymerization leave you with a surface that is less likely to streak, or leave finger marks(try it on glass, the fast ones make excellent galss cleaner, the others make glass cleaning a pain).
Another thing to look out for in a waterless(or B&HFW) is one that stays in suspension, those that require mixing prior to use to mix in the sediment that drops out of solution mostly contain some sort of filler(caolin Clay being a common one) that will hide minor scratches, while for some thats a plus, for others it,s not the desired result.

I used Dri wash...for years and no issues. No longer use it due to cost etc.
100% waterless products are hard to use and need to be fine tuned.

This seems like ONE from Chemical guys...is this just rebranded stuff with a different color or this is different?
A bit confused.

Hi agpatel,
No, Chemical Guys used to sell ONE which seems the same as what this product is used for. Here is an old thread from autopia:
http://www.autopia.org/forum/car-detailing-product-discussion/89689-chemical-guys-one-pics-process.html
Seems like a re-naming of a ONE since ONE does not seem available from the Chemical guys website anymore.
