First, please note that i sell these products. I like the products a lot that i decided to be an authorized dealer:biggrin:.

For the past few years I have been trying to be “green” and “eco friendly” by using less chemicals for the household (i.e. vinegar for cleaning, and dishwashing liquid/warm water mix for hard wood floors) and also for keeping our cars clean. That lead me to using Optimum no rinse wash. I remember seeing waterless wash products via websites long time ago and decided to pass and end up with no rinse wash. It still works well, but now with 2 kids, 1 going to school, and teaching more classes, I have very little time to keep my ride clean. I checked out waterless products on the web and after checking out its “green” features and talking to Dave Elliot, the owner, I decided to try Freedom Waterless Products a try.

Long story short, it works as advertised. The only water used is actually making the towel damp. I sprayed the original formula a small section at a time, then a little on the damp microfiber towel, light wipe, then follow up with a dry towel. From my experience, the shine and feel that the original formula left on my black fx is comparable to my klasse with a layer of glaze. Here it is after a few days. Sorry for the slight blur, cam phone pics.

The tires were recently treated with the Eco Tire Shine, though I wiped instead of direct spray to get a flatter effect. The wheels were cleaned with Complete Clean first, then the Original formula.

It has been about a month and a week daily driven (plus heavy rain after thanksgiving) and my ride is still clean. I thought of giving it a waterless wash a few days ago but after light dusting, I changed my mind. Here are some pics I took recently. There are marks left by the rain noticeable only if you are a few feet from it.

I now revised my cleaning routine by using my no rinse wash for heavier cleaning only. I posted some product info on the vendor section and the link to the website. I have a few more samples left to give away and doing a promo pricing as well. Thanks.

the fx still looks good after about 7 weeks, but i might "wash" soon to rid of small insect/bird stuff on the paint.

Looks great. Seems to work well on Black.
I'm still a bit shy to use anything on my ride if there's any dirt on there though. I usually use a duster, & then hit it with Mothers Cal Gold QD, & It seems to free up any dirt that might be on there. I did use that yellow sampler you gave me, like a QD, & it seems to have the same results. I have used the sampler extensively on my MTBs after riding cuz I dont care about swirls or scratches on it. Works great there.
 
Nice. Is there anything special that you use on the lower unpainted plastic trim?

none really, i still have to clean the bottom plastics with the same waterless product im using and maybe apply some aerospace 303 if i see any fading (since the fx is almost 8 yrs old).

dave, i felt the same before i gave these products a try. you can always try a small section. just remember, spray a little on a damp mf and the surface before applying.

p.s. i got 8 weeks out of the first application and wouldve gone longer if not for the bees and their yellow bombs all over the car.
