DP Four-In-One Rinseless Wash & Shine Review

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 ***! 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:)
 
Thanks for the review! I wasn't sure if maybe Optimum allowed rebranding of ONR since DP's product came out so soon after and has similar ad copy.



Have you tried it in QD form yet?
 
What the heck is a 5G AG wash system? And what's the point of doing a rinseless wash if you use a powerwasher first? You've already got the hose out and are spraying water all over...why bother with rinseless at that point?

5G - 5 Gallon

AG - AutoGeek (http://autogeek.net/autogeek-wash-system.html)



I should clarify, I used a self-serve car wash's wand and it was on the lowest setting. I then come home and do my rinseless wash.
 
Thanks for the review. I love QEW but wanted to try both ONRWS and DP. I ordered the DP the other day and will give it a whirl next weekend. Then, I guess I'll order the Optimum. Boy, this stuff never ends!!!
