Eyeball Kid Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 my understanding is the waterless wash has additional lubricants, so would that not be more beneficial when claying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Bill-V8V Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 That's a great question !!!!! I'll be getting some Thursday so I'll give it a try unless we hear different from Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Team Adam's Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 I have used "other" waterless wash products as a clay lube in the past... I don't think there is any harm in it. The only problem I experienced is that it was almost too good of a lubricant... didn't seem to allow the clay to contact the paint enough to do its job. No harm in trying, worst case it doesn't let the clay work so you go back to using detail spray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Rich Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 I agree with Dylan about it being too much lubricant for the clay to stick. I actually tried it with the sample I had received and the clay didn't work as well as it did with the detail spray. So assuming that the sample I used is the same product on the market, then I'd say use the detail spray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Baron_Von_Awesome Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 It makes a great clay lubricant as long as you dilute it. It also ends up being more economical than using Detail Spray as a clay lube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Superdutytd Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 I agree^ I wonder what the dilution would need to be with the adams product? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Baron_Von_Awesome Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 I agree^ I wonder what the dilution would need to be with the adams product? 20:1 would be fine - you don't need much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 KrazyTrain Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Good question it, i would have to agree with all of the above Cant wait i just ordered some on Friday Im so excited to try it, should be nice for a quick clean up on the daily driver every couple of days. :banana: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Superdutytd Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Yes. What do you think a waterless car wash solution is? Well the Adam's stuff is a spray on and wipe off solution and not concentrated. The other one I have you mix to different dilutions for it to be a QD, Clay lube, & No rinse wash solution.

Waterless washes are a very highly concentrated polymer solution - that's why they're waterless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 rb11701 Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Yes. What do you think a waterless car wash solution is? ONR is a no-rinse car wash. I didn't see anything to spray and wipe. Mix it up for a no rinse wash , but I still have to soak my mitt in it and 'wash' the car. And then wipe off. What looked god about Adam's stuff, to me at least, was that I could spray it on and wipe it off. I am sure I could do the same with this as ONR. But that isn't the reason I bought Adam's. I like it as a spray'n'wipe kinda deal. Many times after it has rained I like to go over the truck. DS does a good job but, like Adam said, builds up. I think the combo of DS and WCW is perfect to maintain a DD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 rb11701 Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 I know, I was just stating the I think a product like Adam's WCW is better than ONR. I have been debating ONR for a while now. As I had posted, ONR did not seem like a spray and wipe. Adam's does. I would think that Adam's way of a WCW is better. To me, the rinse is the easiest thing to do. I could care less if I have to rinse. Everything else is the same with ONR as a traditional wash. It does save water, which I believe in. However, I am very tight with my water. THe more I use,the more I pay. Which means less car products to buy! lol. I wasn't throwing stones by any means... I was just pointing out my opnion. Sorry if it maybe came across different.
