Huge thanks to corey and the gang at carpro for the chance to try this out.

The beast from the east was pretty dirty from road salt and I didn't feel comfortable doing a waterless so I went with rinseless.

I diluted 1 ounce to 1 gallon of warm water. First thing I noticed was the smell, it's quite pleasant, almost fruity, nice and fresh. It didn't dissipate in the water, however it is not a huge deal.

The ease of use is unreal, it's super slick and grabs the dirt like a politician grabs taxes. One wipe of the dry me crazy and the panel was completely clean and dry. There was absolutely no streaking and the results left behind are stunning!

Finish was smooth as glass and slick as grease.

I'll let the pictures tell the rest of the story. Bottom line though - I won't be buying a bottle when it's released. I'll be buying multiple bottles.

P.S. I've got some left and plan to do a waterless next weekend weather permitting. I'll get more pictures uploaded

Thanks for the review, can't wait to try it out myself.
 
I can't get the pics to upload, I'm gonna try from my laptop shortly. I'll get em up.

I can tell you with certainty this product lives up to its expectations
 
Thanks for the test, did you see any streaks after wiping? your car looked very dirty pre-cleaning..

Not a one! I'm still trying to get the afters to upload (keep getting errors, I'll get em though). The results were simply stunning.

Absolutely! I'm anxiously awaiting the weekend again to hit it with waterless
 
Gents, an update on our waterless offering.

I'm PROUD to announce (although it may disappoint some of you) that there is no longer an immediate plan to release a product of this type.

Why proud? Because CARPRO COULD have slapped some polymers or silicones in a bottle with lots of water and make a profit BUT the focus and goal was doing something special (as it should be). Through 8 versions of testing we DID create a strong cleaning, great smelling, and dirt lifting waterless product that is different from others BUT it didn't hit certain goals we had at the beginning.

While it had some pros and some cons compared to others on the market, CarPro didn't feel it evolved the landscape far enough beyond current waterless and rinse-less offerings so decided to put the project on hold and focus on other R&D we are excited about.

A big thanks to Avi at CarPro for making the RIGHT decision and not the one that is based solely on sales.

Thanks for investing in this project Avi and double thanks for having the courage to do the right and honest thing for all our customers!

If we revisit this in the future I look forward to sharing that with you all and I'm excited to that we will have a product we believe in 100% or we won't do it at all.

Lol, there's a lot of Rinseless out there bud :) Ultima, opt, and others, and hundreds of copies beyond that.

When CarPro gets back to the project to make something original will be cool too but in the meantime more innovative projects to work on!
 
From my expectation and imagination, I WISH in the future, we will have something like SPRAY ON-RINSE OFF TOUCHLESS & AUTODRY shampoo. Basically, you spray it on with foam cannon, and rinse it off without washing because it is strong enough to remove everything and without drying because it chemically react and dissolve all hard minerals from water. This way, all swirl/scratches from washing/drying are prevented. I'm still praying for this type of product.

Carpro, please make something like this and I will buy not 1 gallon but 100 gallons!

Considering that the main reason to "agitate" the product is to emulsify the road grime (part petroleum product from road overspray), I would imagine that a product strong enough to cut through the road grime without agitation would be strong enough to cut through waxes, and sealants. The best example of what you are requesting is the acidic pre-rinse in a touchless carwash which has a pH of around 2. So I hate to be the one bringing the bad news but I would seriously doubt that we would have a TOUCHLESS product any time soon ;)

STOP TEASING ME! Now I want some! Can we make sure that they have no solid residue and can be diluted in de-ionized water?? Basically you spray down the car and walk away (without fear of water spotting)

I'm expecting Nano-Corey-Super-Spray that will dissolve all dirt/grimes/dust and turn into liquid that evaporate without leaving minerals so no water spotting.

Spray, rinse and walk away- SRWA product!
