Pros:

1. Nice Scent
2. Gentle Cleaning
3. Adds Gloss and Slickness.

Cons:

1. A Little lite on the cleaning ability for my taste
2. RTU bottle isn’t big enough for an entire car. I like to have 20-24oz normally.

Questions:

1. How much Nuba is added to the formula?
2. How long can PLCWW+C prolong the life of a nuba LSP?

Final Thought / Summary:

For the Nuba loving guys that wants a waterless wash the new Pinnacle Liquid Crystal Waterless Wash with Carnauba may be just what they are looking for. The mango scent is very nice and makes it a joy to use, and the gloss and slickness it leaves behind are nice as well. Although it is more expensive than other waterless washes in RTU form, I believe there is a place for the Pinnacle offering for those with “special” vehicle they truly like to pamper. Buying the concentrate also helps the pricing by quite a bit. I will be saving what I have left for summer when I am using Nuba LSP’s.

Nice review Troy, thanks for taking the time. I`m assuming you pre-soaked with UWW b/c you didn`t have enough product to do both steps for the review?

Thanks Guys.

Nice review Troy, thanks for taking the time. I`m assuming you pre-soaked with UWW b/c you didn`t have enough product to do both steps for the review?

I could have done the entire side of the truck with the 16oz bottle with PLCWW but then I would have been totally out.

After watching Mikes (mjlinane) videos I have found that I much prefer and get better results by misting the surface and letting it dwell before coming through and spraying it down with waterless wash and then a wiping it off. I also am now using less waterless wash solution to get the same level of safe cleaning. Honestly I still prefer Rinseless washing better but I am really starting to get the hang of Waterless as well.
