Just wondered if anyone has used this product yet and have any opinions on it. Its an all in one product that means you don't have to use water to clean/polish the car, simply spray on, wipe the dirt away then wipe again to acquire a (showroom) shine.I acquired a freebie bottle from a relative who stocks it and in my opinion it certainly does the job. I think its more for cars that already have tip top paint work and is to be used to maintain it, anybody else got any views on it,is it just a gimmick or will it take off?

Greased lightning is a degreaser, you have just removed any wax protection you had on your paint.

Essentially a detailing spray for cars that aren't actually dirty (imo).

My OH bought me some of this after spending far too long watching the shopping channels one day. I immediately thought showroom sh**e than showroom shine but it's actually not that bad. I wouldn't use it on a really filthy car but after a regular sponge wash, rather than use the chamois, it does a nice job of removing the foamy streaks that are left and brings up a pretty decent shine to the bodywork. Seems to leave a nice layer of wax too.

Other major brands are bringing out their own versions of this type of "waterless" car wash so perhaps there is some value in these kind of products. Still can't beat a decent brand car shampoo, wax and some elbow grease though!

Or if you're completely loaded, just have the car detailed.
