First, let me say that I am a bit skeptical about the idea of spraying something on our dirty car and then scrubbing. This seems a recipe for scratches in the clear coat.
That said, I gave it a shot, anyway. I used around 1/3rd of a bottle labeled "Contains 7-10 washes!" to try to get some tree sap off of our Toyota Corolla. I say try because I failed.
While this product seems to be a good idea (who doesn't want to save the environment?), it fails in accomplishing its task. It doesn't clean our car. Sure, it takes off a little dust and dirt, but WATER would have done that, without all the fancy chemical extracts from coconuts. It utterly failed, though, to take the tree sap, bird droppings, and splattered insects off of the car. Y'know, the stuff that is the reason that we use so much water and harsh detergents.
Realistically, you'd probably have better luck by diluting your dishsoap about five to tenfold in tapwater, putting it in a spray bottle, and using that instead with the towels. But, man, they are some nice towels.
Also, as an important safety note, this contains ingredients from tree nuts. That you are atomizing with a spray bottle. If there is anyone in the NEIGHBORHOOD with a peanut or tree nut allergy, you might want to have them don a gas mask. Just saying.
Not impressed. Will not be acquiring any more of this.

I finally got a chance to try the Starter Kit. Packaging is simple and ready to use out of box. Direction is easy to follow and you are ready to use it after 30 seconds of opening the box. I tried the kit on my wife's Murano which hasn't been washed for 2 months. I tried not to spray too much at first but found out not easy to clean the dirt out of the car. I decided to spray ample cleaning solution over 80% of the cleaning area then wiping the dirt off the car became easier. I cleaned the car in about 30 minutes, it's not perfect but got the car 95% clean. I did notice I already used about 1/4 of the bottle. The bottle said it can clean 5-7 times, but I guess it depends on the size of your car and how dirty it is. I don't know how environmentally friendly the product is but I didn't have to use any water as indicated.

I'll have to admit I was a little bit skeptical of this product--how good could a "waterless" car wash product really be?
I liked the fact that the ingredients were VOC Free, fragrance free, made with a coconut surfactant, and non-toxic, but I wondered if it could really clean my car. Yes, I was impressed that the founders created the product because their daughter had chemical sensitivities (my husband does, too, and it can really complicate modern life). But would it clean my car? I mean, really CLEAN my car?
The answer is a resounding YES!! I used the kit as directed (Waterless Car Wash on the outside, Tire Shine on the dash & interior, using the supplied microfiber towels--just spray it on & wipe it off) and it cleaned my little "electric green" VW beetle in no time. Better yet, it left the exterior with a nice shine like a wax job. It only took me about 20 minutes to clean the entire exterior of my Beetle, and, another surprise, I was also able to use the Car Wash to wash the windows, sunroof, and windshield with no streaking and no filming. I'm really, really impressed.
Even better, it helped clean some "gunk" off my dashboard that I'd been unable to previously remove, despite multiple attempts with Armorall, olive oil, and other suggested remedies. Apparently, the previous owner had tried to "improve" a small area of the dash around the radio with some shoeshine or something that became really sticky and waxy. When I applied the Lucky Earth Tire Shine (also for dashboards), I FINALLY got this stuff off. After 3 quick applications, the Lucky Earth product was able to remove what I previously had just resigned myself to living with. It got the entire dash clean and gave it a nice clean sheen (not over-shiny or slippery, either). I was so impressed, I even tried an off-label use and used the tire shine on the shiny black keypad of a Cuisinart convection oven--it worked great here, too, wiping fingerprints from the keypad and giving it a like-new finish (just like I used to do with Jubilee Kitchen Wax, which I can't seem to find any more).
The best part, to me, of the interior cleaning is that there was absolutely NO petrochemical smell in my car afterward. Not immediately afterward, and in the next few days of getting in and out of the car, I noticed how clean the interior now smelled. No more petrochemical odors! Just clean.
It is truly waterless & having lived in New Mexico (largely a desert), I can appreciate the value of water. You really can wash the exterior of the car WITHOUT using any water whatsoever. You will most definitely need some water to wash the microfiber towels when you're finished, but hey, you'll being doing a load of laundry sometime in the next week anyway, won't you?
Highly, highly recommended; I'm definitely buying more of this when I use up what I've got (and yes, it's true, one bottle will wash the average sized car 7-10 times. I think I'll get about 15 washes for my little Beetle).
Great Idea, But Not Terribly Practical May 25, 2010

This kit is a great idea and does exactly what it says it does. It will wash your car clean without the use of toxic substances and without a hose. Unfortunately, it's terribly impractical to spritz the cleaner all over your car and then wipe it off with the included microfiber cloths (which are actually quite nice). My hand got tired just pumping the bottle--never mind wiping it off with the cloth!
I think this would be ideal for motorcycles, scooters, and yes, even bicycles. I used it to clean my bicycle and man, it did a great job! Best of all, I didn't have to break out the hose, the bucket or an assortment of brushes. I even washed my bike right in the middle of the living room floor!
Great idea, great product, but just not practical for larger vehicles.
Great kit May 10, 2010

Works great. This is a very handy, inclusive kit. The products work well and the cloths clean up easily in the washing machine. I was a bit skeptical about this one but I am VERY pleased with the results!! Even hubby loves this one and keeps using it on his own car. Handy, convenient, and provides great results. Get his and hers sets!
