General detailing sprays are meant to be used on clean paint that needs a quick gloss enhancement. It primarily boils down to how dirty or clean your paint is. However, there are distinct differences between them.
The two are roughly similar in the sense that you spray them on, and wipe them off. Waterless washes often get confused with general detailing sprays, and that’s understandable. Whatever the situation might be, we view waterless washes similar to how we view a crescent/adjustable wrench: it may not be the first choice you reach to or think of, but when you’re in a bind they can come in pretty handy. Maybe you’re cleaning a car that simply can’t get wet. Maybe you live in a colder climate, and the current weather conditions aren’t necessarily conducive to spending an hour in the elements washing your car. Maybe you live in an apartment complex and don’t have access to a hose bib. They are an excellent cleaning tool in situations where access to water is limited. They are meant, in appropriate situations, to take the place of a hose & bucket wash – hence the name. A waterless wash is typically a sprayable solution that is designed to safely break down and clean moderately dirty painted surfaces. Let’s start by determining what a waterless wash is. In this post we want to arm you with the knowledge necessary to make the correct assessment and help you choose the right tools for when your car or truck needs a quick re-fresh. With the stakes so high, you certainly want to take the proper precautions and determine when/how to use a waterless wash safely & effectively. You’re potentially dragging dirt & grime across your paint and by doing so you may be digging in shine-killing swirls & scratches. There’s a lot to be skeptical about, especially when you consider the consequences. These are just a few of the questions we get asked when it comes to the topic of waterless wash solutions, and we get it. “When is it safe to use a waterless wash?” “What’s the difference between a waterless wash and a quick detailer?” “Should I just pull out the hose & bucket?” We know, we know! A waterless wash?! “Won’t that scratch my paint?” But what’s the best way to get it looking right again without having to break out the hose, bottles, tools, buckets, and re-doing all the hard work you just finished a few days ago? This is potentially a prime opportunity to employ a waterless wash. The car (or truck) isn’t filthy, but it definitely isn’t as clean as when you first finished the original detail. Once you got back home, you realized that you picked up a little bit of road dust, maybe even some water spots on the rocker panels from the puddle you tried to avoid, but still drove through anyway. You had a great time with friends/family, got lots of compliments on how clean your ride looked, maybe cruised around a bit after the show.
I think if they had to compete for shelf space at AG - Ibiz would get crushed.Picture this - you did a full-blown detail on the car or truck last weekend, and then drove it to a Sunday morning cars & coffee event. I see companies like this as selling fair to midland products for high prices to people who aren't internet savvy, or who just aren't interested enough to explore other options. I think if the stuff was any good and priced competitively one of these detail retailers would be hawking it by now and we would of heard more about it. Where's their Mike Phillips or Todd Helme? What detailing forums is Ibiz on and who is reviewing and critiquing their abrasive technology? What pros are using Ibiz? What legendary LSP does Ibiz make that competes with Souverän, Midnight Sun, or BFWD? My gut tells me it's not as good as Pinnacle, BlackFire, Wolfgang, etc.
Don't think it's better than Pinnacle or UWW+ which is a few pennies an ounce. I recall they were selling a waterless wash that was approaching crazy Croftgate prices.
I've never used it, but looked at it on eBay once. I think the Ibiz stuff was/is a favorite of Corvette guys - which seems like a match made in heaven to me.
