I found this QEW write up doing a google search. I liked it and figured since winter is coming, and there are a lot of people like me, ready to try it for the first time. I would post it.

Heheh, complaining about paying $40 for a gallon, that same size here in Australia costs over $120.... luckily its a great product that works.



I hate water restrictions...



Nice find on the write up
 
Great write up. I have been using QEW as my primary wash method for about a year now. The difference is that I have not been doing the car a section at a time; I have gone over the entire vehicle before drying. Maybe I can get away with this because the water here in Seattle is pretty soft, I don't know. I do know that with one car and two SUVs in this family, QEW has saved me a ton of time and water.
 
Excellent write-up and pictures. :bow

Looks like I will finally be using my QEW this winter since my white SUV will not fit in my detailing garage. :(

Burrrrrrrr remainders of when I lived in New England. ;)
 
Long time lurker here. Yesterday was my first time using QEW after reading about it here.



Your write-up points out some things that came to mind after I was done, esp the part about "hosing" the car down at a car wash first if needed.



I need to work on my technique a little more, but overall I give this stuff two thumbs up.



For an apartment dweller with a Black Audi (who can't sleep if it's not clean) this stuff rulez.
 
After seeing the great number of people here using QEW I decided (against my judgement) to give it a try. Well it came and I gave it a whirl and it was pretty awesome.



Just my .02 :)

QEW is as effective as a regular wash, whenever there is a water shortage, cold weather washing, as it takes less time, or a water hose is not available (condominiums, car shows, etc) :xyxthumbs :xyxthumbs

I know what you mean. I was very skeptical, but have become a believer.



Did you use a terry towel to dry as they recommend? I couldn't bring myself to do that!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO WAY!!! I picked one up out of my fresh bag then promptly placed it right back into that fresh bag and grabbed a few microfibers. Used a MF sponge to wash, and MF cloths to dry. :)

Who recommends a terry? I didn't in my write up, MF is the only way to go :)

On the directions that are supplied with the QEW itself, the manufacturer recommends using terry cloths. These instructions should be located on the product label attached to your bottle/container that the wash was originally supplied to you in. That recommendation seems kind of scary. Prior to MF, I used to use terry for everything. Just doesn't seem right now! MF is kinda like cell phones....Lived without em' before they were around, now I have them attached to my hip 24x7 and don't know what I'd do with out them. lol. Interesting eh'?
 
Nice writeup. Very similar to mine, but much neater job (I wrote mine up as a first-time user, taking pictures and describing something I'd never done before and was hesitant to try, and I made some mistakes).



One suggestion: take a pair of scissors or a razor knife and cut the cuff off the sheepskin mitt. It's easier to use that way, whether or not you actually stick your hand inside it, and the cuff can do nothing but scratch your finish.
