To accompany the recent favorite rinseless product post, I'd like to ask what your favorite Waterless Wash product is. No poll, just want to know what you think, what you've tried and settled on.

:autopia:
 
Mostly I use Pinnacle. It's one of the few that have "wax" in it. It has a great dilution ratio - so I can use a ton of it to soak things down. It's smells great and just works well.

The way I see it, rather than getting into minutiae about this one is slicker, etc... based on anecdotal data - the real difference is how much product you use. I think using a lot of WW to soak the panel and the towel makes more difference to prevent marring than any specific brand.

So, since the dilution ration is so high with Pinnacle - you can use a ton and not worry about "how much am I using"...

I really like PB's products, but couldn't see buying WW RTU by the gallon - as I use too much of it. A can make a gallon of Pinnacle for a few dollars. I just can't grasp buying RTU WW. Now if PBs came out with a high dilution WW product - I'd surely give it a try.
 
I've tried Dri-Wash, Griot's, OptiClean, UWWW+ and a few more I don't remember.
IMO, the Ultima wins by a mile. I even use it as a spray detailer on my garage queen for the extra margin of protection.
However, the Dri-Wash pump-up "AIRosol" bottle is the best atomizing sprayer I've ever used.
It's worth buying DW just for the bottle.

I like meguiars D115, for a super clean look.
I use ONR orginal wash and shine or the wash and wax. If I want the vehicle to have that glossy shine.

This is a great point, but it should be mentioned that PB's Spray and Wipe claims that less is more. Apparently your'e not supposed to saturate using S&W. I had some UWW+ and didn't see what all the fuss was about, but I was using it in quantities I'd typically use with S&W. If I get ahold of more UWW+, I'll use more.

Fanciers of S&W often talk about it being more "substantial" than some of the others. There's a correlation with this and the ability to use less product.
 
Spray and Wipe feels different than UWW+. Poorboys does leave a slick surface but with less impact to the gloss of the surface. S&W seems to a different chemistry than the other WW/Rinseless products.
 
Poorboy's Spray & Wipe is strictly a cleaner unless you mix some Poorboy's Spray & Gloss with it (about 30% if I recall). After trying a dozen or more over the last ten years my two favorites are Wet Paint and Poorboy's Spray & Wipe.
 
I just treated my black granite counter tops to a wipe down of Poor Boys Spray and Gloss. Totally Dazzling ! I couldn't stop there. I had to do the glass cooktop and then the stainless appliances and sink . Next, on to the TV screen.

I used spray and wipe on counters, never tried sg
 
Ultima WW+ is #1

D114 is my #2 due to no additives left behind

Tried Poorboy's S&W but it lacks cleaning power (imo) compared to the above
 
I have tried several ww washes. Never knew that 1Z had one. Will buy one and try it soon.

Why do you like it compared to the other ww's?
