I tried this sample out this morning and was not impressed at all by it. It felt, like someone else said, that I was just dragging the dirt around. Maybe if the car was pretty clean before hand, and needed a quick detail it would be okay. But to simply walk out to a dirty truck and clean it, its not gonna happen with this product. I used it on a small section of the hood, multiple times, and did not feel as clean as when i broke out the hose, bucket and soap. I'm sticking with the tried and true method.
Just found an awesome cleaning product!

I got my Sample today..I bought it just for the bottles and 2 MF cloths. I have to say they are awesome little bottles to keep in center console of the truck with Instant detailer and some tire dressing for going to shows or just out and about and get bird poop or something on the paint. for 10bucks shipped..I woulda paid that just for the 2 MF and empty bottles

Talked to the owner the night I ordered mine, he called me 10 mins after I order to thank me. Seems like a stand up guy. I hope the product lives up to his claims. We shall see. Should be here any day now.
I noticed the same thing. Really looks good around the fender molding. I also did a full wash the other day to strip any residue or wax to see if it had any swirls or fine clear coat scratches and I was kinda surprised to see nothing at all. I used that stuff on it when it was really dirty. Anyhow I hope you guys like this stuff as much as I do and for those who don't... enjoy your free microfiber towels!:top: Haha

I guess I got the free sample while it was still free. I didn't have to pay anything. I finally used this today on a little section today and was pretty impressed. I would still prefer to wash the regular way when the weather permits (which is the majority of time in Texas) but I might just order some more of this stuff to keep the truck clean in between washes.

I'll post up some pictures tonight of what it was actually able to clean. I was quite impressed. The key is to saturate the area. The product has to be dripping off the area, otherwise I can see how people may be feeling like they're dragging the dirt, they weren't using enough. Used the Aquinil-X yesterday, in 25*F. And today I'll use the quick and slick, multi-clean, and tire shine. Same temp today. Let you guys know how it went tonight.
its hard to believe that it wont scratch the clear coat since your just praying on top of it and just wiping it off... just feels like your rubbing the dust and small dirt on top of your paint. would be glad to see some pics of the product from a buyer though instead of the company

Well here are the pics I promised. The product actually does a very good job. Some have claimed to feel like they're dragging dirt across the paint but I had no such problems. The truck was heavy covered with salt and sand. I ordered 2 sample packs, and used both bottles of Aquanil-X to wash the truck. Like the demo stated I made sure the product was dripping down the panels I was cleaning. I then followed that up with the Quick-N-Slick. This was the most impressive of the products. Very slippery surface and high gloss with very little product used. The 2 bottles will probably last me 5-6 applications easy. Then used the Multi-Clean to wash all the windows, trim, wheels, and tires. Followed that up with the tire shine on all 4 corners. All this in 25-30*F weather. Well on to the pics. They'll do more justice than my description. :top: Not sure that I'm ready to spend the $22 per 32oz bottle of wash but it did work 100% better than I expected.

Those were there before I started. The truck needs a true polish, it's got 50K, it's time. It feels waxed after the quick-n-slick. There are some waxes in the wash as well, but you get the glossiness and waxed feeling from the quick-n-slick.

there is no way i could ever bring myself to use any type of waterless wash stuff. I wouldnt have any problems using it as a quick detailer or with water. I wont get to try my sample pack for a long time it seems..Sinc we just got 22" of snow and the X is pretty much blocked in the garage and well its not dirty anyway
