It was a bit cold this weekend and really didn't want my hands freezing so I decided to use up the last of the waterless carwash.

I have been using the Optimum No Rinse since November. Love it. It may replace my hose even in the warmer months.

Is this from the Autogeek or Griots Garage? I've seen it but was curious if it was as good as the other stuff I had. I had a little of the wash left and can't remember the name of it but I know i have an old bottle where the label is still good. It's great stuff though and I remember it was sold through a tier system and was often found at car shows etc but I am sure they are out of business now. I've tried two other similar products but just didn't care for it.

I got the gallon jug from detailedimage.com. Will last multiple washes as it only takes 2 capfuls and two gallons of water and that is enough to do a car. I also use a 1 gallon sprayer to pre-soak all the panels before I begin to wash. Not required but I feel more comfortable having more liquid on the panels before I run my cleaning mitt over the paint.

Griots speedshine is awesome too. I drove 700 miles in the rain and cleaned my black truck. No scratches at all, love the stuff. Important to use the right rags btw.
