I got yelled at by the condo association at the condo I live at because I've been using the spigot outside my door to wash my car. Evidently that water isn't to be used by people that live there, only the landscapers that do the grounds. Since I now can't wash my car, I'm looking for some options and Ecosmart struck my attention. Anyone ever use it? If so, what kind of luck did you have with it? I'm not really looking to enduce swirls in my paint so I really wanna know if this stuff really does what it says it does.

Handz, I watched you in the CG videos, and it looks all well and good, but all BS aside, would you use it on your car? You don't have to sell me on CG products because I'm already a lifetime customer, I just really want the truth about the results.

You want a no BS answer, here it goes.

I use Ecosmart on my own car, there is even video of cleaning brake dust off my wheels using ECOSMART and you can see how well it cuts past brake dust.

I use ecosmart to wash my vehicles every other way. So one week I wash with conventional soap and water, the next week i use ecosmart.

Washing a car with ecosmart is MUCH faster than using water I will say that. I have had ZERO problems with it scratching my paint. If you use the proper technique like you see me use in the videos, you will get proper results.

when it comes to using any waterless wash system, its 90% about technique that gets the results. I would recommend ecosmart to anyone.

if your car is super dirty, you can also use Hose-Free Ecowash with the two bucket method. Here 2 videos showing how to use both.

Hopefully this helps you out.

here is a video of me cleaning my wheels... the reason i wanted to demo ecosmart on wheels because they are usually the hardest part of a car to clean. If it cleans wheels this easy, it will clean paint even easier.

I like using ecosmart in one of those low pressure pump sprayers

Thanks for the info, Greg. I watched your wheel video, as well as the 2 in the first post previous to posting this thread actually so I'm glad you chimed in. I guess I'm going to give it a whirl and see how it works. This might actually be nice as it seems like a fairly quick process compared to washing my car with a hose and the 2 bucket method. I am also obsessed with V7, so I'll probably follow up the Ecosmart with V7.

The only thing that sucks about me loosing my hose privileges is that I do run a small detailing business on the side and most customers cars are FILTHY and I'd really feel better about using a hose to really get all the dirt away. I guess I'll have to figure this one out...

Yea the only problem with that is I don't own the condo, I rent from a guy who owns it and he has already gotten in trouble twice from me...once from my grill, and now for using the hose. I don't wanna get him in trouble with the HOA, and I don't wanna get kicked out cause I love my place. It's alright, I'll find my way around it...looks like Ecosmart is the key! Thanks brotha!

I take my bucket/spong/soap/crap with me to the local DIY car wash.
Yea I thought of that, problem is the closest one is like 20 miles away. I like to get up early on Saturday mornings and go right outside and wash the car before there is too much direct sunlight and too much heat (when it's hot out). If I'm gonna have to drive to wash My car I can just go to my buddy's house. It's just nice to walk outside and wash?

Look into Optimum No Rinse car wash and I love Detailers pro rinseless wash and gloss, you can also dilute both of these products for a quick detailer, clay lube, or water softener. Both are cheap and last a long time too. I rinseless wash my car at least once a week to help keep my shine on, after that I give it a spray down with duragloss aquawax and its like a mirror
