Waterless Car Wash Tips

Is There a Better Freedom Product to be Used on Older Cars?

Q: I have one older car and one newer car. Can I use the same Freedom products on both cars? If not, which one is best for each?

A: Technically, you could certainly use the same Freedom products on both cars without doing any harm to your vehicle. Freedom products do not contain anything harmful or corrosive for your car so you can feel safe using any product. There are however some products that are better designed for a specific purpose and we feel that we should explain that a little bit better.

If you have an older car then definitely the best choice for you is going to be the Freedom Original Formula. This formula has double the wax as well as a light abrasive included. This combination works really well not only to wash your car but also to bring back some of the shine that has been lost over the years. It is also better at filling in scratches that may have developed as they happen to do with the older vehicles.  Even though any of the Freedom products will work great on your car, if you have a car that is an older model then you should really consider using the Freedom Original Formula as it will do the best job at protecting your car from further wear and tear and really bring out that shine that you thought was lost.

If your car is much newer then you will really benefit from using the Freedom ONE Waterless Car Wash. This is a special water-based product that contains premium soaps, surfactants and lubricating agents as well as a special polymer polish formula. When you spray Freedom ONE onto your car, the soaps and special lubricants will liquefy and dissolve dirt immediately upon contact. Your micro fiber towel will work to pick up that dirt and remove it from your vehicle. The towel pulls the dirt off of the surface so as not to scratch your vehicle in the process. The second micro fiber towel will buff off the remaining polymer residue and give you that spectacular shine. This is a much better solution for newer cars if you are really looking for a long lasting shine and great protection against future abrasions or other common nasties that happen to your car’s surface during normal driving.

There is a Freedom product out there for every situation!

Hi Def Detail outlines waterless car wash

Keeping your car clean with regular washes is the one single maintenance activity that offers the biggest benefit to your car’s appearance.

We recommend washing your car’s exterior every one-two weeks with Hi Def Super Polymer and Hi Def Total Clean and waxing with Hi Def 2-Wax Formula every four-six weeks to keep it looking its best. – Be sure to pick up your waterless car care products here.

Here’s what you need to complete the job:

- Hi Def Super Polymer Waterless Car Wash or Hi Def 2-Wax Formula Waterless Car Wash & Wax

- Hi Def Total Clean All-Purpose Cleaner

- Hi Def Super Plush Premium Microfiber Towels

- Handled auto body brush and bug remover microfiber sponge

Here’s how you do it:

1. Park car in a cool shaded location. For ideal results, car should be cool to the touch.
2. Assess your car’s condition. Walk around the car and take notice of the level of dirtiness. If your car’s surface is caked with sand, dry mud or extreme grit, rinse with water prior to application of Hi Def products. Don’t worry all Hi Def products can be used on wet or dry surfaces.
3. Clean wheels and tires. (See Wheels and Tires page for details)
4. Prep Wash with Total Clean. Identify areas where tough environmental contaminants like bird poop, tree sap and road tar might be. Spray Hi Def Total Clean All Purpose Cleaner onto the affected areas and let it soak for 3-5 seconds (do not let dry). Spray Total Clean onto a water-dampened folded microfiber towel and gently rub stains until they’re gone. Use a second clean, dry microfiber towel and buff away residue.

* TIP: Use a damp soft body brush or bug remover microfiber sponge to scrub tough stains from bumpers, hoods, mirrors and grills.

5. Spray Hi Def Super Polymer or 2-Wax Formula onto each panel and glass surface. Spray Super Polymer or 2-Wax Formula onto a folded water dampened microfiber towel and gently wipe area to be cleaned. Use a second folded clean dry microfiber towel and buff off to a brilliant shine.

1. TIP: Work one panel at a time at a comfortable pace. Only go as far as you can comfortably reach.
2. TIP: Change to a clean side or a new microfiber towel often for best results.
3. TIP: Start at the roof and work your way down cleaning the least dirty areas first. Work your way to the more dirty sections like the grill and lower side rockers last.
4. TIP: If your paint is not smooth to the touch use your favorite Clay Bar with Hi Def Super Polymer as a lube to remove deeply embedded contaminants.

6. Condition and protect exterior trim pieces with Whip Juice. Spray Hi Def Whip Juice onto a folded microfiber towel and wipe/buff all plastic, vinyl, rubber trim and bumpers to restore that like new luster.

What is waterless wash?

What is Waterless Car Wash?

Definition borrowed from Wikipedia.com

A. A technique used to wash a vehicle without the use of water (also called a waterless car wash). This technique uses a product that contains many different ingredients, including wetting agents , lubricants and protectants. The detergents and wetting agents in the product combine to soften and emulsify surface grime, while a specific blend of fluids and lubricants attach a microscopic layer of protectant to the surface. The protectant is often an extremely rare (and expensive) substance which provides a bonded layer of protection against any remaining abrasive not broken down by the detergents and wetting agents.

The protectant often contains extensive cross linked polymers , which make it extremely effective as a car wax or glaze . The product often contains a complex mixture of cleaning elements along with the glaze ingredients.

With proper application, the product lifts dirt from the vehicle by emulsification. The product surrounds dirt molecules, lifting them from the paint surface, before you start to wipe. At the same time, the application process initiates the cross chain polymer linking process that results in an extremely shiny, highly protective glaze finish. All this happens very rapidly due to the balance of ingredients within the product itself.

The application process does not involve high pressure nor extensive rubbing. The application process also does not require “soaking” – using a high volume of product. When used in compliance with its “directions for use,” the vehicle will shine and water will bead on it.
