Review on πŸš— DualPolymer Waterless Car Wash 1 Gallon Refill with 4 Free Microfiber Towels: The Ultimate Solution for a Spotless Shine by Ben Demers

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Regular customer, but dissatisfied

I have been a regular customer for several years. I've used a different blue liquid before (if you know you know), but it wasn't in Revain when I first ordered the Dual Polymer. These are the only 2 waterless detergents I've ever washed my truck with since it was new in 2016. The first time I used Dual Polymer I was very satisfied. It was easy to put on and take off, made the truck as slippery as wax, and absorbed both water and wax. This time I bought the gallon size and couldn't be happier. When I refilled the atomizer from the liter jug, I noticed that the smell was pleasant as always, but that's where the resemblance to the old product ends. This sprayed the truck more frothy than the previous version, but I didn't really think about it as I only shook a gallon before pouring it and then shook my sprayer again before using it. The product was fairly easy to apply but buffing was a big problem! Clean microfiber for application and other clean microfiber for buffing. The truck did not feel smooth at all after polishing the product, not much different from the unwashed section. After finally polishing the entire product, I thought it was just as shiny as before, so I wasn't too dissatisfied. Fast forward 16 hours and after a night of heavy dew (fall weather in the south) the car was soaked by morning. During the commute, the dew did not collect as expected. Then came the real disappointment. As the dew dried, it left streaks of dripping dew on my truck, which I haven't had with any other waterless product I've used (I've used Alien, F-11, Aero Cosmetics, and Dual Polymer). Looks like I sprayed the truck with soapy water and let it dry. I don't know if the formula has changed or if I just have a bad batch, but I'm not at all happy with the current amount of product I have and I have a full gallon minus about 8 ounces. The point is I have almost a gallon of product going to waste because I won't be using it in any vehicle I have now after the results of the first use. I might try again just to see if I get a different but questionable result. Looks like I'll be using Alien again and it's not available from Revain. And of course my return window has passed or it would have returned!
