What's people's thoughts on this?
I always thought waterless washes were frowned upon?
I guess as a drying aid it would be a good idea?
Here's CarPro's write up that just popped up on my Facebook wall :-
COMING SOON TO UK
CarPro Echo2 is a waterless wash (I know what you're thinking! Be gone heathen!) and it's also a quick detailer concentrate.
Here in UK many of us are sceptical of waterless wash, only using it when aboslutely necessary such as during hospipe bans and at car shows, but it's a necessity for some, and especially stateside so due to popular demand we designed one that's coating friendly contains si02 for a little protection.
Most waterless washes contain a polymer or wax protection element this helps lubricate the waterless wash but covers up your coating surface with a non si02 protection which is more prone to attracting dust and dirt.
What you want from it. And what I aim to show is the benefits when maintaining coated or waxed cars and designed for use by both professional and enthusiast detailers.
Most people think washing is the main source of marring on well maintained cars, but from our testing it's actually drying.
When a microfibres becomes wet it becomes a little bit more aggressive as water is not lubricating. It increases the friction between the microfibre and the paintwork
On super soft automotive finishes, both coated and uncoated we found drying towel marring to be a problem.
I've personally always recommended diluted CarPro Reload sprayed on when car is wet while drying. To add slickness and reduce friction between towel and car. This is a little overkill with 4:1 maximum dilution and not perfectly designed for it.
So what we've done here is make a cost effective QD for light dust and post wash drying aid. At 20:1 CarPro Echo2 lubricates the water and if you've got a car which isn't repelling water (say un-protected or hydrophilic coatings) then it repels the water too. Making drying easier.
This is not just for CQuartz coated cars, this is perfect for any coated, waxed or even unprotected cars!
