FW1 Waterless Car Wash at Costco

[PIMPMYFX]

There was a stand at Costco showing off some, what seems to be waterless car wash. It was $29.99 for 3 cans. Here's a link: http://www.fw1.ca/
What do you guys think?

Think of it this way: you're rubbing a waxy substance on the dirt and grime, then rubbing the dirt and grime that's there all over your paint... say hello to all of your new scratches in the clearcoat.
i've bought this stuff at my local costo. I used it for quick detailing AFTER AN ACTUAL WASH. If you use it dry it will scratch up your clearcoat.
IMO the $30 is better spent on other products.

I dont think 3 cans is enough to even do 1 "wash" on the FX. But the website says 2-3 washes per can on an average car.

Apparently it's very concentrated so we'll have to see. I grabbed the 3, so I'll test it this weekend.

How many tumes can u wash with 1 can? It diesnt seem cheaper than my self washing station that charge $5 for like 5 min of endless water

1 - That music is an instant headache.
2 - No way in hell will i never not use water on my FX lol
3 - I would not trust to wipe around that much dirt on the fx. (swirls)
4 - Treat your FX good and bath her nicely =)

Dont use it on a dirty car! It'll scratch up your paint. Do a proper wash first, then put a layer of the wax on.

The guy said that one can, can wash 2-3 cars. And apparently they have lubricants in them that makes them safe to use on light dirt and dust. BTW I will be using this for quick detailing. Thanks for the advice.

Ive been using this stuff for my wheels. It gives them a nice wax and clean. I would never use this on a straight up dirty car by itself..your just asking for scratches lol as jbaker said your basically gonna be swirling the dirt into your clear coat.. its not bad to use after a wash though I guess

ive used it for a quick detail not bad

I stick to optimum no rinse only. Been using it for years

best bet for quick detail (aka too lazy to wash) is to use a car duster, but even then you're pretty much rubbing the dirt into the clearcoat. I would give it a nice wax/polish then after that you can sort of wipe away excess dirt without touching the clear coat. I still recommend not using this product without a proper wash first.

ONR (Optimum No Rinse) FTW

I would spend my 30 bucks on chemicals and wash the car myself.

I agree with Aaron and Wayne. I love this stuff.

Oh yeah ONR all the way. Love this stuff. I plan to give my 45 a good rise with the garden hose to rise off any road salts on the undercarriage in a few days and then ONR all summer.
