EcoSmart Waterless Car Wash & Wax, Ready to Use, 16 fl oz | Safe for cars, trucks, SUVs, motorcycles, RVs & more, clean, glossy finish, for paint, glass, chrome, plastic trim and more

Listen, I’m not saying my car is a magnet for bird poop, but if there was an Olympic event for “Most Creative Splatter Patterns by Feathered Fiends,” my poor sedan would be the canvas of champions. No matter where I park—shady tree, open lot, or that one sketchy spot by the dumpster—birds find me. It’s like they’ve got a group chat called “Operation: Ruin This Guy’s Paint Job.” So, when I discovered the Chemical Guys WAC_707RU_16 EcoSmart Waterless Car Wash & Wax, it was like finding Excalibur in a porta-potty. This stuff is my new ride-or-die, and I keep a bottle in my car at all times, right next to my emergency granola bars and my girlfriend’s glittery sunglasses she insists on leaving everywhere.Here’s the scene: I’m on a date, feeling like James Bond in my (freshly washed) car, when—SPLAT—a bird unloads what looks like a Jackson Pollock masterpiece on my hood. My girlfriend, bless her, screams, “Not again! It’s like they’re aiming for you!” I don’t panic. I’m a man with a plan. I pull over, whip out my EcoSmart like it’s a lightsaber, and get to work. This stuff is magic. You spray it on, wipe it with a microfiber cloth (pro tip: keep those in your trunk too), and boom—bird poop vanishes faster than my dignity when I tried to “taste the rainbow” with her kombucha collection. The wax in it leaves my car shinier than my forehead after a spicy taco night, and it’s so easy I could do it blindfolded (though I don’t recommend trying).The best part? It’s waterless, so I’m not out here looking like a soggy chihuahua trying to hose down my car in a gas station parking lot. It’s safe for my car’s paint, my motorcycle, and probably my ego if I could spray it there. Plus, it smells like victory, not like the inside of a bird’s regret. I’ve used it on my SUV, my buddy’s RV, and even my neighbor’s creepy van with the wizard mural—works like a charm every time.One time, I was mid-wipe when my girlfriend goes, “Babe, you’re like a poop-fighting superhero!” and I’m pretty sure that’s the moment I peaked in life. The EcoSmart is my cape. It’s compact, so it fits in my glovebox, ready for the next avian assault. And let’s be real, with my luck, I’ll be fending off a Hitchcock-level bird attack by next Tuesday.Verdict: The Chemical Guys EcoSmart Waterless Car Wash & Wax is a 16-ounce bottle of pure, bird-poop-destroying joy. It’s easy, effective, and makes my car look so good my girlfriend almost forgave me for eating her last yogurt. If you’re battling the same feathered foes I am, get this stuff. Your car—and your sanity—will thank you. Five stars, no contest. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I hear a suspicious caw outside.Note: No birds were harmed in the making of this review, but I’m definitely side-eyeing that pigeon on my mailbox.

Likes: no water needed, so can be done anywhere and feels like less work than with typical water-required car washing; a nice scent; appears to be simple ingredients; easy to use; lifts off dirt effortlessly; leaves a nice shine after buffing; can be watered down to "stretch" the bottle, so we split it into a second spray bottle and add some water; have reordered a few times now via Amazon because works well, and arrives in a sealed plastic shrinkwrap all around the bottle (to ease any worry of leaks).Dislike: After a while, a short while even, the spray trigger goes bad and no longer works, which prevents using the spray. Recommend having an extra empty spray bottle or two around for this reason. Previous to the two bottles just received, the former bottle caps were very hard to open (due to the type of anti-openong screw thread on it), requiring help of pliers/wrenches, but the recent bottles have regular thread, making it easier to open. I need to open the bottle to half the liquid into another spray bottle.Recommend this product to anyone who likes to take care of their car and on a budget. We use it each weekend to upkeep cleaning of two vehicles due to the area we live in constantly having dirt flying and settling on vehicles on the daily.Oh, also recommend having a lot of vehicle microfiber cloths (like the bulk pack from Costco, or the pack from WalMart vehicle section) for wiping away the dirties, and for buffing. Makes a difference to switch our for a clean cloth every so often.

First let me just say that I am not a car-wash enthusiast, or the type that religously washes my car. I am not picky enough to spend the time and effort to apply multiple coats of wax, protectants, etc so my car is Car show ready. I just bought a 2014 Forester and was looking for something EASY to use without breaking out the hose and bucket. I live in the Northeast where there is a lot of snow, dirt, and salt during the winter.Happy to report that this fits the bill perfectly. Had no problems using this indoors in my garage. The result looked as good as a detailing that would have cost me well over the price of what I paid for the gallon. Heres my method:1. Use microfiber towels, one to wipe, one to dry/polish2. Spray the ready-use on one body panel until its thoroughly saturated. Wait about 15-30s3. Wipe the dirt in one direction, or using a 'S' pattern. Do not rub back and forth. Flip wiping towel or replace towel as it gets dirty.. Dont continue wiping with a dirty section.4. Dry/polish using the other microfiber towel. I used circular motions to polish. After wiping the dirty away, you will see the wax it leaves behind. You want to polish until the wax leftover from the wipe is not visible.5. Repeat on each car section... replace towels as needed. This stuff works fine on glass/tires as well.For a quick 30 minute job, I think it was well worth the effort. After a couple days, the wax was still beading water and looking great. Spending the extra time and money on traditional methods might give you that extra 'pop' in look and finish, but whether or not its worth it is subjective obviously.Instructions say you can use out of the container, or dilute 1:1 or 1:2 parts mixing water. My first wash was not diluted, the next one I am doing will be 1:2 parts distilled water. Will post results when i get around to it

I am new to waterless and DIY car detailing, so my experience is different from others. I am impressed with the cleaning results where it could clean. There are tough debris, bug stains at the plastic bottom which are harder to go.I took about 1 hour and more to clean just car exterior including wheels (not tires). I consumed about 65% of the bottle for the first time. I used remaining bottle for the second car wash and it wasn't adequate. For the amount of liquid needed, I felt it as expensive car wash. I did not have bottle issues. Final look is awesome with glossy look under the sun. I gave some stars because no water is needed and I can do car wash in my garage.I expected a magical clean but it wasn't. I had to go multiple passes to clean and thereby causing fine scratches. I could not tell if the scratches were result of the detailing using this product. I would be cautious and use even better cloth and more product to ease the cleaning. Only mistake I did is to reuse portion of towel cloth when it is not super dirty. I brought 8 towels for detailing and the lesson I learnt is that I needed more like 20 smaller towels.Be warned that there is a risk of scratching since towel is in contact with surface. Otherwise it is as simple as just mist and clean it with high quality microfiber cloth. The microfiber cloth does the magic in picking up the dirt. Also it is not suitable for heavily dirty car. It requires prerinse to wash off debris. My car is garage kept and lightly used, so I clean every 3-4 weeks.

Second purchase. Very efficient—no need to go to a car wash. Just spray and wipe, and the car is clean in an instant.

A great product, it does exactly as it says.

It's ideal for spot cleaning but to clean the whole car it almost takes the whole bottle.

Just got this today and had to try it. Disclaimer, I did a wash and wax of my Silverado truck about 10 days ago.Since the wash and wax, the truck hasn't been driven much, under 30 miles. I don't drive daily, I live near trains and walk/bike everywhere close.Truck is parked outside, under a tree, so after a week, it'll be dirty just from morning dew, rain, pollen, and the beloved bird droppings.I just did a wash with this product and two microfiber towels and it looked perfect. Got off all of the dried pollen drop marks, all bird droppings, and did in fact leave a small wax residue which I wiped off at the end. I sprayed some of this on a bird drop speck and it pretty much lifted it right off, then I wiped.I went the route of doing all of the washing and wiping first, whole truck, then took one more dry towel and did the buffing which is really just wiping. No arm pain or struggle.My hood was the worst, and it got nice and clean and I don't see any scratches anywhere. I was skeptical, no doubt about it.Only bad part is you end up spraying pieces by accident that you already cleaned, the overspray factor. Even doing that it was still easier than a hose, 2 buckets, scrubbing, rinsing, drying, putting it all away, you know the drill.My plan is to do this every 1 to 2 weeks, and since it is so much easier, use the saved time to at the minimum spray detail, or throw on a coat of wax and be good to go.Anxious to try it on winter salt messes. If it cuts through that, I'm sold forever.

Ive detailed many cars because I had an automotive shop when I was young, but I have never used a water-less wash and wax before. I bought it do do the door jambs, trunk and engine bay of a newer car I bought. I would never use it on the outer body before washing it first, then I would use a proper liquid carnauba wax instead. But it worked fine on the jambs after first wiping them down with a damp cloth. It cleans minor surface dirt without scratching the paint when using a microfiber cloth and leaves a nice film of wax that buffs easily. When on sale for $12.16, it is reasonably priced if you are using it on a small area, otherwise a gallon would be a much better deal. I checked the safety data sheet and as with everything I use that contains poisonous chemicals, I wear a respirator to protect against harmful vapours as well as nitrile gloves.

Leaves so many swirl marks and scratches even when applied on almost a clean car with expensive microfiber towels. Will not try again, will have to take the car for paint correction

Funciona bastante bien, hay que usar bastante y micro fibras de calidad para detallar y no rayar la pintura. Lo uso entre lavadas, sirve para proteger la cera que tiene mi auto. Dura unas 2 lavadas a una cx5 mazda

Thus stuff is awesome. I live in a town home complex where washing your car in your parking stall is forbidden. I bought this not expecting alot. I have a new Nissan Kicks so it doesn't take that long..... as long as you read and follow the instructions it works amazing . Spray to cover the surface, while with a micro fibre cloth then buff with a clean towel your car will sparkle. Water just beads off. It can get a little expensive if you own a truck or bigger car but I'm happy with the results. Will definitely purchase again

Me gusto, es mucho mejor que otros productos, limpia el carro muy bien y no lo raya
