Pinnacle Liquid Crystal Waterless Wash
First I would love to make this review a Q&A format, Ill check this thread often and answer your questions.
I consider myself a waterless wash junkie. Between 3 of our cars I wash them weekly, with either Blackfire or Ultima.
Recently I had the privilege to test out the new Pinnacle Waterless Wash (Thanks Stig & PBMG). I was really excited the first night I got the product:righton: to test them out. It was almost dark but I got pics of the front end all clean on my TL and I tried in my wifes passenger side door too for a test spot first…Now I think my neighbors think I am nuts for cleaning my car in the dark now….O well
Thoughts on why this product is different from other and why should it be added to your arsenal?? It’s a one stop shop, I tend to use a QD or spray wax after I do a waterless wash. With the Pinnacle this was not needed, the finish was LSP smooth and no streaking. This is very similar if not better than one of my favorite waterless that cost a lot more(Megs)..
With a Waterless wash don’t be afraid to use more, this is the one situation were I believe more is better, I used about 12 towels and 24 oz of liquid; so the concentrate is one amazing buy. 4 Gallons from the concentrate :righton:
Before I got started I gathered about 12 or so MF towels, I first did the panel on my wife’s car and then proceeded to my 2001 TL.
The product:
My dirty hood
Product sprayed and letting it soak for a minute
50/50 after the initial wipe.
All clean!!!!
Next I tried it on my Wifes car. 2010 Bronze CRV, look at the Civic in the background as a reference point.
Lastly I tried it on my other car, here I was trying to remove water spots.
Today I left the office at around 6 pm, my black car was parked so the front was facing the open part of the garage. I know earlier today it rained but didn't think it rained sideways like it did. The front of the TSX was covered in water spots!!
Luckily I still had the PLCWW in my TL
Since the temp was 55 outside I let it sit for a minute or two
WIped and all gone,
Finally Thoughts
Like I said I am a waterless junkie and usually need about 24 or so OZs to do a whole car.
Before I make a purchase of this I needed to know it works and it works really darn well
I will summarize what I did on the 3 cars and what I was looking/testing for.
1.White Acura TL- Car was lightly soiled mainly black dust from road construction. Sprayed wiped right off, and did not leave streaking or scratching.
2. Bronze CRV- My wifes car was heavily soiled, because of the color you cant tell but look at the pics and use the Civic in the reflection as a reference point. Here the product was sprayed and I let it sit for couple of minutes. Wiped to a shine.
3- Black Acura TSX- Perfect time to test for water spots!!! and it passed I am really picky on what I use on the newer Acura, and this stuff took the dried water spots right off, and I didn't even have to use a QD to follow up.
It passed all 3 test, dusty conditions, heavily soiled, and water-spots. Now I am about to order the concentrate. I really hope this helps yall make a informed decision, and if you have questions please ask.
