Just ordered ONE Waterless Carwash
Hey I just wanted to share a quick update. I have heard about waterless wash for the longest time (probably since 2003 or so) and have never gotten around to trying it. The product that I bought is called ONE from Chemical Guys, its a waterless wash that contains kaolin and clay.
As a disclaimer, I am not intending it to use on my car when its filthy, I just need something other than Meguiars QD for dusting, etc. In alot of instances I'll get the car cleaned then drive to a show, or just around for the day. At these times, its not dirty enough to warrant a wash, but it has enough grime to require more than QD.
I also need something to keep our family hauler clean, after the great detail job Onehot did. Its a huge car so I hope this product helps.
This product has received great reviews so I'll try it and let you guys know my thoughts. I also picked up a waffle weave microfiber towel from them.
Here's a link:

They are 2 different products, one is a waterless wash the other is a rinseless wash.
ONR is a better alternative if the car is really dirty, ONE is for lighter washes.
Both are great.

Hey guys I just wanted to share my experience with ONE. I received the package and had a chance to do my entire car with it.
It works very well as advertised. When you spray it on the body panel section, you can see the dirt lifting off the surface. Then when you pass the microfiber over and look at it all the dirt is there. The second pass of the other microfiber buffs it off and gives the shine. Its a really glossy shine too.
I also used it on the wheels and the results were awesome.
I would not suggest this product for a filthy dirty car. But if you just have light dirt, or dust, its a winner.
I'll attach before/ during / after shots of the wheel just for reference.
BEFORE - DIRTY WHEEL
DURING - AFTER APPLYING ONE

Wow, I like the looks of this product. I've been using ONR on my car as of late, and I really like it. But the ONE product is completely waterless. And it contains added protection for the paint. On the down side, it seems to me that a bottle of ONE would get used up pretty fast given the amount that you have to spray on each panel. I'm going to give it a try anyway!

from me. And yes, before anyone gets all bent out of shape, I used two seperate buckets, I did it in the shade and I used brand new microfiber towels. The results spoke for themselves, looked like garbage. I hope the ONE stuff works better.

Yeah you will through the smaller bottle pretty quickly, especially since you can use it on the wheels too.
My car is alot smaller than yours, so I'm a little better off. Maybe we'll get a ONE group buy going! lol
