Review on Chemical Guys HOL401 Eco-Friendly Drought Buster Waterless Car Wash & Wax Kit, 5-Piece Set by Shane Popo

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Unexpectedly great product - I will never go back!

This stuff is really amazing and the kit is very expensive. First, the atomizer is amazing and works very well. Very easy to use and the nozzle settings are very useful; I might buy a few more to use with other chemicals. The towels are very soft and make a huge difference to this system! As for EcoSmart, I can't say enough about it. I was skeptical, expecting twists, scratches and other problems. I actually bought this product to get myself and my BMW through a midwest winter, but I've been so impressed with it that I intend to use it year-round. This pays off significantly in terms of water savings. I can clean my entire station wagon with literally one large sip of distilled water (32 ounces) and 2 ounces of EcoSmart. This afternoon I literally "washed” it in my warm, cozy garage, and there was a blizzard outside. The shine is great and it didn't crease or damage my polish at all. The unbeatable convenience and the knowledge that it's so much more environmentally friendly is another huge plus - no harmful chemicals enter the water system and no water is wasted! I wish this thing was somewhere around when I lived in apartments and didn't have free access to the nozzle and hose. I will probably only use the tubing/foamer when preparing the clay bar and doing a full polish/glaze/wax, which is about every 2-3 months. I'd say I think the secret is to use good quality microfiber towels for this. The ones in the kit are excellent; I've used 4 when doing a dirtier car, but I can get away with 2 if I wash my car regularly, which is a lot easier with this kit. I highly recommend this set for this very reason. I keep them separate from my other towels and only leave them for EcoSmart use and they seem to work great. In short, this is a great system and I highly recommend it whether you're trying to keep your car clean in the winter, concerned about chemical runoff, live in an area with water restrictions or just don't have access to one Car have washer hose. I love it and won't be back!
