Review: Pinnacle Liquid Crystal Waterless Wash
Introduction:
I received a surprise package from Stig a couple of weeks ago containing new Pinnacle products.
I use waterless washes on every detail but rarely wash a car with them. But I find them invaluable for door and trunk jambs, bird bombs, waterspots and the occasional car wash. I like the total control I have of the spray and they clean, lightly protect and generally make short work of these generally neglected areas. (Customers are often impressed when they open the door and don't know why.)
Thanks to Corey again for providing the format and thanks to Stig & PBMG for providing the product.

This is a video on how I waterless wash from my survey of waterless washes.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jfv-SYc9LzE
I didn't waterless wash the car this time - just the door and trunk jambs - but pretty much do the same thing.
Observations:
Best I can tell, Pinnacle Liquid Crystal Waterless Wash has a very pleasant fragrance. Cleans well without marring.
See, removed this:
I haven't applied a sealant to my door jambs in close to a year. (I know... I am a hack. ) Amped up the gloss nicely.
Pics:
Does it meet its claims? Yes.
Pros:
1.- Very fast application
2.- Beautiful finish
3.- Cleans very well.
Cons:
1.- None I've found.
Final Observations and Summary:
Not sure what else I can say about this. Pinnacle Liquid Crystal Waterless Wash is really, really good. I have no complaints and would definitely use again. As a matter of fact, I spoke with my wallet and bought a gallon of Pinnacle Liquid Crystal Waterless Wash Concentrate!! With the 32:1 dilution ratio, I'll never have to buy waterless washes again!! (Note - "have to" doesn't typically affect my buying decisions.)
By the gallon concentrate, it is far cheaper than even Ultima. And, in terms of finish, it is not even close.
Comments and questions are encouraged. Thanks for viewing!
