DP Four-In-One Rinseless Wash & Shine Review

**DARKSTI** · 03-24-2006, 12:22 AM

Didnt have time for pics, sorry

. I suck at reviews but...

I got mine free as a giveaway item.

I tried it out on my `06 STI. I used my new 5G AG wash system (which kicks ass! Great product!)

It wasnt too dirty except for the sides. Just to be fair, I powerwashed off the really heavy stuff as I usually do if im doing a rinsless wash. I started on the roof and worked my down and around. My first thoughts:
- Smells like ONRWS but a bit more "Orangey" if that makes sense. It didnt feel as slick as ONRWS/QEW.
- It didnt feel like it cleaned as well as ONRWS, but it better than QEW. Some spots (ie. the sides) I had to go over 2 or 3 times, where with ONRWS it takes 1 and rarely 2.
- It dries really quick and easily. It didnt streak much if at all. It tops the other 2 in this respect.
- The look is behind ONRWS in my opinon. It doesnt `pop` as much as I would like, but looks better than QEW. It leaves a deep look compared to a shiny/glossy surface.
- It seemed to suspend the dirt kind of like ONRWS, where as in QEW it seems to sink a bit.

So in summary:
Smell - 3/5
Slickness - 3/5
Look - 4/5
Drying - 5/5
Cleaning - 3/5
Value - 3.5/5 (wish it was bit more concentrated, IE: 2oz per gallon)

Overall: 3/5.
Final thoughts:
Once I am done with this, I will not be ordering more unless the formula changes. I feel like I had to work harder than the others to get heavy dirt and grime off. I also wish it had more slickness to it. Right now its in 2nd place in my ranking of rinsless washes (ONRWS - #1 / DP - #2 / QEW - #3).
I think this good for a first try, but for me I was expecting more. This is actually the first thing from AG that didnt totally win me over.

Note: I want to say I am just giving MY thoughts, yours may vary

Just got in from working on the truck. Have previously read this review on another forum. As I said there you have answered the questions that were in my mind prior to reading the review. My main interst were slickness,drying time , and cleaning ability.

Thanks for taking the time to post it here on DC. Other will read it. Of that I am sure!!

Hey! I thought your review was good! Pictures are always nice though. Did you see my review?

I guess we had a slightly different experience, but I always like to hear other people`s opinoins even after I`ve formed my own. I think all these products are pretty good. Picking one over the other is pretty tough.

Yea, thats why I decided to put mine up. Like I said, experinces may vary. Yea, I wanted to take pics, but had some other stuff to do so decided against it.
