Difference between 3D Waterless Car Wash and HD Free Waterless?

[Marc Hufnagel]

I have done some searching but they both seem to be billed as a waterless car wash.



Thanks for helping me out.

Maybe most people use ONR instead? Not sure myself as I use ONR and used DP rinseless wash but switched back to ONR since it felt slicker.

Well, someone had to answer :P



I have both. Being cousins, they are very vey close, but still they are not the same:



- COLOR: 3D waterless is light green, HD free is fully white

- SMELL: Hard to qualify... Both of them have very pleasant smells. 3D waterless smells like breezy, foresty, fresh. HD free smell like clean linen, almost like cologne. Smell is a toss up. I personally prefer 3D waterless smell, but I love them both.

- CLEANING: Here is where the shared DNA can be seen. Both of them are virtually identical as far as cleaning. They have a ton of lubricity and a lot of cleaning power. The won`t hide or conceal the dirt, they will simply take it out effectively.

- LOOK: Both of them leave a much nicer look than a regular wash, better than rinseless washes and almost as good as a quick detailer. HD Free a little bit shinier.

- SLICKNESS: Also almost like just quick detailed. These are true products that almost look and feel like just waxed with just a wash. HD Free a little bit slicker.

- PRICE: Here is the big difference. 3D waterless is almost 50% more expensive than HD free (or if you want tan alternative thought, HD free is 33% cheaper than 3D waterless.)

- OVERALL: If price was equal, they would be virtually tied, probably HD free on top because of the shinier look. However, with the price disparity, it is an easy choice: HD Free. I think 3D has to adjust the price of 3D waterless accordingly. In fact, I am just waiting for concentrates / hyper concentrates at even better prices.



Enjoy your HD free.

Both work great. I really can`t tell the difference other thatn one is concentrated and one is RTU. Leaves the surface super slick. Great clay lube too.

Both are almost same. Both work fine and Both of them give a much better look compare to genral wash and as far as price is concern, price of 24Oz in both category is same.

I believe 3D owns HDCarcare.
