Got a chance to test Chemical Guys' new waterless wash ,"ONE".
With nothing better to work on than my wife's white X-Terra at the moment,
I set about to messin' around.
Other than the color, this was actually a good test subject because
it's not meticulously maintained like my vehicle. (There are reasons for this :
A) I don't have the time. B) It's a lease vehicle. and C) I HATE the damn thing!!!
Absolutely cannot stand to work on it...PITA !).
ONE is billed as a one-step, nano-tech wash, polish and wax.
You just spray it on the surface like any other QD, wipe it down
then buff the haze with a clean portion of MF towel.
ONE comes in standard CG packaging and has a pleasant smell (orange
creamsicle).
I looked for what any of us would in this product :
-cleaning ability
-lubricity (non-marring)
-versatility
-finish (shine, gloss, slickness, etc...)
I'm happy to report that , after my first run , it has performed very well
in all areas.
Now I understand that white is not ideal for the purposes of
testing and offering proof via pictures, but it's what I had to work with.
Until I can post up with a darker vehicle (hopefully tomorrow), you'll
just have to take my word that I noticed no residual marring after use
on a fairly dirty vehicle (especially the hood).
In the following pictures , I'll try to demonstrate the virtues of this product.
I used it on every surface of the vehicle including glass ,plastic and wheels.
This product exhibited very good cleaning ability , left a very slick finish
with nice gloss and left no hazing (as of yet) on glass or trim.

I was very impressed with how it handled the crud on the wheels.
I used no extra product on them , just the slightly dampened towel from earlier.
What's best is the ease with which the dirt was removed----no forceful
rubbing or scrubbing. The dirt came off with very little pressure
in seconds....nice.
By tomorrow I hope to have better , more conclusive pics for y'all.
Until then , I hope this has been helpful.
