Suggestions for a new Waterless Wash

No worries. I invented the two bucket system, so I now want it renamed to the split method. LMAO.

Now to the original poster, I don't think you will be disappointed with any of that aforementioned products. Get samples and try them out and get what YOU prefer. My only advice...don't become a "brand snob" like some flakes on here. My detailing shelves look like a smorgasbord with different brands
 
I was trying to stay within one brand to maximize product compatibility but I don't think OptiClean is gonna do it for me unfortunately. Probably keep it for bird bombs and wheels. It does have very good cleaning properties and provides lots of lubrication.
 
I didn't post my usual fanboy rave about IUDJ as I figured it's a rinseless as opposed to a waterless. Anyhow, guess everybody here already knows that I *really* like the stuff, which surprised me as I didn't like QEW or ONR (v2). So far it seems compatible with everything, no issues at all using Meguiar's UQW over it for instance.

Heh heh, I'll be the first guy to say how cheesy Garry can be, but he's a 100% stand-up guy IME. Exactly the sort of person I like doing business with. Hey, self-promotion is a standard business tactic, especially in the field of Detailing. Everybody's gotta be special ya know ;) otherwise why buy from, or even pay attention to, them instead of the competition.

Heh heh#2, people slam Garry for the "Garry Dean Wash Method", but people do *not* slam my pal Kevin Brown for the "Kevin Brown Method" of using M105/M205. I myself think it's handy to have acronyms for succinct references to the two approaches and that neither person oughta be criticized for lending their names to them.
 
2. Pinnacle - I like that it has carnuba in it. I use OCW and I love the combination of polymer protection and carnuba glow. My hesitation with this one is that it might require a lot of buffing?



Any comments and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading.

FWIW:
I use Pinnacle LGRW in direct sunlight in the central Texas heat with no streaking issues. Already been through over a gallon of it. I even use the QD dilution as a drying aid.
I have had no issues on black, silver, red, blue and white paint in direct sunlight. It's my favorite but I like the Pinnacle shine myself.


I'd say im using around 2-3 oz per 3 galls on water (might be a tad heavy but it works well) and i even put a splash of it in my rinse bucket- gotta love TX hard water
 
I think the only problem you will have is finding something that doesn't require buffing but also leaves some protection.

Poorboy's Spray and Wipe meets some of your requirements. It doesn't require any buffing, works great on wheels and other surfaces, smells good, and can be used in direct sunlight. But it doesn't leave anything behind.

Or you could try PB's Spray and Gloss. It does leave some type of protection.
