Give it 3-4 more years, and the waterless wash will be what most people do. The EPA is going to continue to put the clamps on washing cars the old fashioned way.

Yeah, I don't doubt that for a minute. I believe the law is on the books in many places -- there's little enforcement of it from what I can see, apart from CA, of course. It seems prudent that people learn the process and be ready.

I hope not. In any case, we're seeing absolutely none of that here in the metro Detroit area, and we've been under federal court supervision (of our water system, including drinking water, waste water treatment, and storm water) for more than thirty years.

Here is a short list of waterless products that are not on your review page and available in North America.



Freedom Wwaterless



No wet



Dri wash n guard



Excella



3D international waterless



Ecol-O-Wash



Lucky earth waterless wash



Detial Plus waterless wash



Vulcavite



Plus there is a host of re-labled products on the market as well. Many of these istems are sold direct, while others an be had through distibutors, and agian others are available through MLM structures.



Your idea for a waterles wash thread is wonderfull, start it and I will gladly post there as well. Professionals as well as consumers will make the switch to waterless or rinseless products(some more willingly that others) for many reasons, including speed finish, cost, ease of use, and peer pressure.

That's because most of our area is on combined systems where the raw sewage and rain run off all go to the same pipes and all go through the Waste Water Treatment Plant.

Yeah, maybe we need to kick off an official "Waterless Wash How-To" thread.

There was one recently in Car Detailing. "Ultimate" or "sticky" threads on any forum can become cumbersome, lengthy and tend to break down over time. I'd like to see a waterless wash forum itself w/ subforums, perhaps w/ those being product discussion, discussion of techniques and maybe one for best wash/dry media. Just a thought and one that was shot down in the above mentioned discussion.
 
@ Frito Bandito:Reading the description it sounds more like Poorboys S&W than ONR/QEW.





That is exactly what I thought. I have tried the PB's version with very good results. It is a very good product even if it is rebadged.

Thanks, Yvan... I will see if I can find the info and add the missing ones to the review database.



:up
 
This is more of a Spray and Wipe type of product. You use it with a sprayer. I must say that I was not too impressed with it. It took a lot of buffing to get it to wick off. I much prefer Spray and Wipe or Werkstatt's Quick Wash.
 
Turtle Wax used to have a foaming rinseless wash. I never tried it but found the idea interesting (although it was pricey at around $8 bucks a can).



I think I prefer something you can put in a bucket of water like ONR or QEW.



Oh, and I guess some people have been using 1Z shampoo like ONR. I don't know if it has a place in the review section though since I don't think that they advertise the product for rinseless use.

Yeah, I can't really get into cross ref of products like that if the mfg does not market it for that purpose.
 
As much as I hate living in the People's Republic of New Jersey, I have to say that in my 30 years of life I have only been told that I can't do what I want with water once and that was when I was about 16 and we hadn't had rain in months. :tumblewee

They usually don't try to push us around when it comes to services and utilities.:woot2:



However, our "elected" leaders over here on the Right Coast try their hardest to emulate everything that Mother Calirussia does in terms of laws, so if Cali does it Jerzy is likely to follow shortly:rules:

Ultimately I would hope that things don't get so bad that we won't have enough water to wash our cars:furious:

OR, attempt to mount a defense (legal or otherwise) to combat those eco fascists.
 
i still prefer using the foam cannon and the two bucket method,

some areas are hard to clean using waterless methods..
