Just curious as to what everyone uses for their go to waterless car wash? I have been using tri-nova from gold eagle, its probably the best one i have used but it looks like it got discontinued. In the past i have used Aerospace Wash n Wax all, and Chemical Guys eco smart.

I’ve never used one of these waterless cleaners before but have a question for those who have. Doesn’t your vehicle have to be pretty darn clean for something like this to be effective and not scratch the heck out of your paint? And by “pretty darn clean”, I mean dusty with maybe some splattered bugs but not any dried on mud.

Is that the typical use case for these products?

It can be a bit more dirty that just dust. It won't clean "mud". I've used the FW1 stuff it foams and lifts dirt very well.

I know Goldeagle has been condensing their lineup and getting rid of items that aren't very popular. I've never tries a waterless car wash but have always heard good things about them as long was your vehicle wasn't really dirty from off roading. Now that I'm living here in AR we'll have winters again I'm most likely going to start using a waterless wash.

With that said Optimums ONR is a really great product. Many use this for a lubricant when claying their vehicle by dipping the clay mitt/clay bar into it and have always raved about it. It can also be used to clean the interior and as a speed detailer to enhance the gloss. I wouldn't hesitate to use this product as I've used many of their other ones before 303 came out with the Graphene Nano spray and the Graphene Detailer.
