What is QEW (Quick and easy?) any good?

It is a car wash that can be used during the winter. Fill a bucket with water and QEW, use a wash mitt to put it on like you are washing your car, rinse the mitt out in another bucket, use another bucket of clean water to give a final wipe, then dry. The final wipe is really optional, but I like to do it just to get everything off. Really simple to use and does a great job when you can't wash your car normally.
 
we seem to like a lot of the same products - po85rd, wolfgang etc.



QEW is car wash, used without a hose.



i used it for the first time last weekend and liked it alot.



people recommend using it in the winter, when it is difficult to wash your car outside.



You dilute it w/ water, and wash gently / then dry.



It left no streaks or marks on my soft black paint.



if you do a search, you can get a lot of helpful tips on using it.
 
QEW is Quick and Easy Wash made by ProtectAll. It was originally developed for poeple who had RV's and weren't allowed to wash their vehicles using a traditional hose and bucket method. (RV parks)......



Many of us detailers use QEW during the cold-weather months when using a hose/bucket is not practical.



The product does not require any rinsing, and dries to a nice shiney finish.



Simply add one ounce of QEW to a gallon of water in a bucket and you're ready to go.



... Use microfiber towels (one wet, one dry)

... Drench and wring out most of the QEW-water and wipe one panel at a time.

... Use the dry MF towel to buff the panel you just washed.

... Repeat on each car panel, doing glass first, then working from the top down.

... As the MF gets dirty, rinse in bucket number 2.



This is great for working in your garage or carport. You can even do this outside in winter, if the water is warm (so your hands don't freeze!).....

Two questions for you...



  1. Is bucket #2 a QEW-water bucket, or just plain water?
  2. Any recommendation on the type of MF to use? Short-, medium-, or long-nap? I'd think that a medium- or long-nap would probably be best, but I'm no expert.



Cheers,

A: Either - on dark cars I add qew to both buckets.



A: I use medium MF. In fact to dry I use WW towels.



OEW is also excellent to clean wheels (diluted in a spray bottle) and as a clay lube - diluted of course.
 
Awesome product, I've been using it for about 12-13 years now as my primary wash. Optimum will be coming out with a version in a month or so and it cleans just as well but leaves the paint slicker!
