Your right, I thought it was just me and I was using too much. I've only been using it for just over a week and I've gone through about 20oz, Good thing I bought the gallon jug of it too!

Team Adam's - I have also had a good experience with your WW, but wondering why you don't offer a concentrate version (instead of already diluted / ready to use) like some other brands?

You can use Rinseless Wash diluted 1oz product to 15oz distilled water to make Waterless Wash. Instructions are on the label.

Call their number, they'll sell you any of the products, I believe, in five gallon totes.

Rinse less, perfect... Thanks for the tip. I wonder if it's the new formula...

Adam's new Waterless Wash isn't his Rinseless Wash premixed now as Waterless Wash. It's closer than his last version but not quite the same.
The new Waterless Wash seems, to me, to have some slight bit of gloss enhancer in it the last version did, and almost replaces the need to mix his Rinseless Wash as a Waterless Wash now.


Someone put an old Adam's Waterless Wash video up back on page one. Problem with copying from a Google search is you may not be aware, or miss, that there was an upgrade to the product and a new video produced. Once something hits he ole' interwebs, it never goes away! This attached video is to go with his newest version of the product.

Someone posted that video because he had no knowledge that the product had been recently changed. The reason he had no knowledge that it had been recently changed is he is no longer on the Adams forum, due to a couple people telling lies about him repeatedly. One of them enjoys doing it so much, he has now joined this forum, to continue to mislead people.

So Adams WW is now not for light cleaning anymore?

It "almost" replaces two bucket washing?

I noticed the car in the video it was actually used on, that was actually dirty, was a white car. Kind of hard to see any marring. A black car with the same amount of dirt would have been better. If your trying to prove it can remove bonded dirt as safe as 2 bucket washing.

Spray the bugs down with the stream. What bugs? The yellow car is already clean, it had no bugs on it.

But don't use it if you have driven in snow, have mud, or driven in rain.

So basically it's still for non-bonded contaminates. When a car is actually dirty, it needs to be washed properly.

Take the same towel you just used on the wheel and put it on the paint?

Seems to me they just added the same things that are already in Ultima WW plus concentrate. More lubrication, and a gloss enhancer.

Only Ultima is $20 for 5.5 gallons vs. $40 a gallon for Adams.

I'll stay with Ultima @ $3.64 per gallon.

Humm, where are you finding that for $20?

Or are you saying one gallon of the ultimate concentrate makes 5+ gallons?

Thanks!

Joe M is spot on. Amazon has 16 oz Ultima WW concentrate for $21. Can probably find it cheaper or on sale on occasion elsewhere. Dilutes 1:44. For that quality at that price it is my go to waterless wash. I mostly use it as a pre soak before rinseless wash or as clay lube.

$99 for a gallon is what I found it for. Will be giving it a try...

Thanks!

They have it on Amazon for $13.49 and $3.95 shipping, so that's $17.44. Said only 10 left. It comes from PBMG which is Autogeek/Autopia.

Don if your just using it for your personal vehicle, the 16 oz will last a long time.

The gallon produces 44 gallons of waterless wash, which would be more than you would ever use on a personal car.

Found a gallon for $88 and I had a discount card so got a gallon of the concentrated plus for $66 shipped!

Thanks for the tip!

That's a good deal on a gallon for sure. This product is versatile, and can be used for rinseless, waterless, detail spray, drying aid after a 2 bucket wash, removing fresh bird droppings, and clay lube.

Your set on all those for quite some time!
