If you have never heard of Chadwick's Triple Play, do yourself a favor and check it out. An actual wash/wax/sealant that actually does what it says. This product is amazing. Check out the links.
Couple of things. Just read the detail forum and amazingly enough the people talking bad about the product never used it.
My truck is my Lamborghini so therefore yes I would use it on my Lamborghini to answer their question. There has to be a reason the Lamborghini Palm Beach uses the product exclusively on their cars. I also use it on my wife's BMW 550i. The ease of use and the results for me have been great. Hell, what I have invested in my truck and my wife's car I could have bought a Lamborghini lol.
Now, I do think it is a little expensive and would love to try another product that is applied the same and gets equal or better results for less money. I do not think the product is a paint restoration product of sorts. When u need to get swirls and light to tough scratches and marks off your vehicle nothing is better than compound and traditional waxing. Cleaning my wheels and tires have never been easier. You spray it on the wheels first then wash the rest of the vehicle. Then take the towels that u used to wash the car which at this point will be saturated and wipe down the rims. It cuts through the break dust with ease. To me that is the worst part of washing my vehicles is the rims. No scrubbing anymore. And his tire dressing is truly no sling and works pretty easy but I have used a product that I like a little better for the tires. It is called Simonz and is in a spray can. It does not sling and last a hell of a long time and has more shine to it. Did I mention that I do not have to deal with WATER SPOTS anymore and it takes just a fraction of the time to detail my vehicles.
Just my opinion. I am always open to trying different products.
Rattler1, It took me some time before I ordered the product. For the life of me I could not get past the no water concept. It took me talking with a guy at a campground that uses the product on his truck, motorcycle and wifes car for me to give it a shot. I not going to say that if I just went mud ridding that I would use this product. But under normal conditions most definitely would. No matter how much dirt and grime is on the vehicle you have to be able to get it saturated by the product. So for a vehicle that is covered horribly in grime, it would probably take to much product to justify the cost. I did find a picture of someone who used it on a pretty dirty vehicle though. Results looked good to me.
My money is on that being salty road spray from one of the northern states. Soapy water would do the same thing for much less. There is no way I would use a waterless cleaner to get that off...and I'm not real particular about my vehicles. I would certainly entertain using a waterless product after a soapy wash though.
I've had great luck with duragloss products. You can get the entire set up for around $30 from carquest. This includes the strip/primer, sealant, and the detail spray.
My favorite car care products are made by Chemical Guys. I really like the Honeydew soap and Butter Wet Wax.....and pretty much everything else they make for interior/exterior. I can wash my truck 20+ times for a $25 gallon of soap and get at least 6 waxes from a $15 bottle of the butter wax. Half the fun of washing is using my snow foam cannon. I may try the Chadwick's sometime when it's too cold to hand wash
interesting i always thought the water less washes were for cars that were already clean ;-)
lets face it sand and dirt meets soap and water = sand dirt loosened by water , soap the significant suspends abrasives away from the paint and you wash it away
never even paid any attention to this stuff I guess I will go read up
Well, all I can say is try it don't try it. I used it works great for both my vehicles. I live in central Florida with plenty of road grime with all the regular rain. My vehicles look great after the product. Better yet don't take my word Lamborghini Palm Beach uses it exclusively on their automobiles. I'd say that says something about the product. Don't take my word for it, give it a try then give your opinion about the product. Takes me less than an hour to do my entire truck now and I can do it in my garage. Don't have to worry about the sun drying soap before I get a chance to rinse then dealing with the water spots. Just thought I would share my experience with the product. Again feel free to spend 4+ hours on your vehicle if that's you like doing. Of course I would not use it when my vehicle is caked in mud but normal daily driving definitely a winner.
Sounds like you're a promoter for them. Any affiliation?
I don't care what new car dealers use on their brand new cars, that have barely touched pavement and/or sit indoors. I mean, how dirty can a new lambo get?
4+ hours? That's a bit of an exaggeration. Maybe for a full ocd wash/wax/vacuum/interior detail i could see that.
I use Meguiars soap and black wax and an absorber. Works great for me. Cheap and effective.
Ah I gave up on trying to keep mine clean. I do have a buddy that has some spray he puts on his rig and it looks sharp. But his rig is white and it's AFTER it's washed. My rig is blacked out and tying to get all of the caliche and crap I get isn't going to be easy. Running a rag down it would scratch the crud out of it.
I'll look into into it before I call TOTAL bs but the pic of that car is such a complete fake.
I use Rain-X car wash to clean it up, and Turtle Wax was-as-you-dry to shine it up. My truck looks good, and the two don't cost much which leaves me with more beer money.
Good ol' Meguiars works great for me. I loved the way my vehicles looked after a wash, clay bar, and wax. It takes some time, but a little elbow grease isn't something I like to skimp on.
Cool, give it a shot, and be sure to give us a review. I have owned/painted/detailed plenty of motorcycles and waterless wash is some good stuff for mild dirt and debris. I usually use it after I run a vehicle through a car wash. A big thing to remember is there are waterless washes and waterless detailers, and they're not necessarily the same. Autopia is a great resource for DIY detailing.
I look forward to giving it a try. I'll let Y'all know how it worked on mine - and figure mine is an '05 with a lot of time off road and in the Texas sun.
Not affiliated at all. First time I bought and used the product was a week before I created this post. I used it on my wife's car first and was pleased then followed up with my truck a couple of days later. Just figured some may be interested in this type of product. Maybe I exaggerated on a 4 hour wash and wax. But by the time I do a traditional wash, chamois, wax, vacuum, and wipe down all the interior of my truck it definitely takes me at least three hours. I never stated that washing your vehicle any type of way was wrong or ineffective. For me, this product was quick, easy, and I didn't have to deal with the damn water spots that the hard water in my area leaves. Again just figured I would share my results with the product. This was the first time I have ever used a water less wash type product. I am not opposed to trying other products of the same nature.
Well it all came in perfect and on time. I can't wait to give it a shot but I may have to use it on my damn ARK!!!!!!
It just rains and rains. I'm off this Friday and thought it would be perfect.....uh no. Gonna rain. Hopefully this weekend.
So you agree that picture is BS....and as far as my deciding to try something new I believe I have that right. Not the power of the site I friggin' built, it's about looking into the product more and figured I'd give it a shot.
ETA - Oh and BTW I PAID for it to try it out. I have NO problem showing the receipt. And I've never even spoken to the company.
I feel your pain on the polen. It sucks! As soon as I washed my vehicle the next day it was covered. Well at least I finished installing the new audio system this weekend for the truck. Man was that worth it. Can't believe I waited that long.
Washed my truck last week (weather man said it would be upper 50s for a week or 2 with little to no rain/snow), next day I look out my window only to see it snowing... After my drive home I end up with damn near a white truck. I HATE SALT!
Sometimes I wish they would just not salt and let the morons kill themselves on the road... Let those with common sense keep their cars/trucks nice. It would kill 2 birds with one stone, average IQ would go up and so would vehicle longevity.
I PROMISE I haven't forgotten. I want to try it and clean my rig. BUT - rain tomorrow, Tues, Wed, Thu and Fri......I'd kinda like to see if it works for a few CLEAN before it went pouring on it for a week. This will go away in Texas and we'll get the dry spell soon.
I have the kit right here - came with the tire cleaner too. Nice.
No worries, I was in the same situation with the rain. Although I couldn't wait and pulled it in the garage and did a section just to see how it works. LOL!
Good stuff on this thread. Another good kit, is from Killerwaxx. It has everything that you need and man is this stuff awesome. Here in WV, a friend of mine owns Killerwaxx Auto Spa of WV. He does some awesome work, and man does Killerwaxx make it shine. See attached pics!!!
Well I FINALLY got some weather to work with me and tried it out. The stuff is like glass. It's bad azz but I want to see if it will work through what I have to put my rig in. I washed it before I used the product - gotta get the mud off. >
