I'd give it like a 7/10. Super lubricated, wasn't worried about scratching like everyone else seems to be. Only took me 7 or so towels to do my Mini Clubman. Yes it's messy, but that's why you go in afterwards with the detail spray. Main concern is you'll probably only get 4-6 uses out of one bottle depending on how big your car is, as I used about the entire capacity of the IK foamer to go around the car once. Good for winter maintenance or when you don't wanna bust out the 3 buckets and pressure washer, but it's obviously not meant to replace a standard wash like everyone thinks it is.

Frothe is $45 shipped to your door. This is $23 shipped to your door. You can also get an IK Foam 1.5 for about $30 as opposed to the $60 AMMO Aerator. Don't get me wrong, Frothe definitely came first but y'all act surprised that companies compete with each other and make similar products
Dont have much experience with foaming WW’s. I did try Pearl at 256:1 foamed. Lacked lubricity but did work ok. I mixed up half my foamer with 2oz. Sprayed the foam i have on a jeep half door i have inside. Noticed, besides the slickness, the product evaporated quick leaving 0 residue/streaks. Cant wait to give it a go on my jeep this weekend. Fwiw i was recommended using a lower nap towel with these foaming washes. I used a Kirkland and it worked fantastic.. a lot less messier than i thought.
If that was my jeep and I had no other option, I would first presoak with onr then maybe use this. But what I know I would do is presoak with onr, then proceed to use my 3 autofiber flip rinseless towels and finish cleaning the jeep with onr
No way I’m going to use more than 8 towels just to “wash” my car. Rather go to the self service wash and use that foam sprayer and do a quick wash. Now you have a bunch of filthy towels and a bottle of product that only yields 2-3 uses? Hard pass for me on this.
this is a last resort that should be done on vehicles that light scratching doesn't matter... you absolutely smear dirt and dust across the paint into the pillar corner edge trapping it there. using a dry towel no matter how lubricated the panel is, isn't a great idea... ot saturates with dirt. it comes through the other end of v the microfiber. turning it over only reduces the dirt smearing.. maybe one can do this on glass if you can't see out the windows but this is a sketchy detailing practice. I bet if you tested that panel you so called cleaned, there would cbe tons of dirt residue all around the windows and seals. there is no substitute for real washing with water flow. good concept though
Like he says at 9:50, think during the winter, apartments, areas with water restrictions, etc. Or really if you don't want to break everything out to do a traditional wash.
@@chrisinco5920 if it's freezing outside who wants to clean the car, especially with this tedious process. I understand water restrictions are a thing but at that point it makes more sense to go through a touch less car wash. It'll probably do less damage.
Hi Nevan, the foam may not work as well in freezing temperatures, and the chemical itself could freeze inside of the iK sprayer if it is exposed to the cold temperatures for a lengthy amount of time; however, you should be able to use it. If you could temporarily move the vehicle inside of a garage, it would be easier to work with at 45 F or warmer than outside freezing temperatures. Your hands will be much happier too!
This video isn't for you. It's for people who can't pressure wash. For people in freezing cold places or anywhere, they aren't allowed to rinse with water.
@@NickVetter I understand, I guess those of us that have unlimited access to water forget about those who don't. It's good you guys are giving those folks some options.
50 microfiber towels later...you introduced thousands of swirl marks and light scratches into the paint. Listen folks, this is a terrible way of washing you're vehicle! I don't care what anyone says, you're paint will be marred by this technique. There is so much dirt, debris, road grime, large chunks of whatever, (especially towards the bottom) that you are no doubt going to cause significant damage. Don't buy into this crap. You might as well just drive through a car wash at this point. Probably safer and no doubt 20 times quicker without the hassle. Nothing will ever replace a hand wash followed up with proper techniques to ensure that you're paint will be looking it's best for years to come.

Hmmmmm. I don’t know about this one. I’d be super worried about scratches and swirls.
So it’s AMMO Frothe? Ok cool.
Same exact thing.
Exactly they even copied the same description.

Seems like a pain to work with, it’s a pass for me
I’d rather use Optimum No Rinse. No soapy foam and no need for a foaming sprayer.
They also offer their regular Waterless Wash and Rinseless Wash, the latter being more like ONR requiring a bucket

I use Adams products all the time, but I think I’ll stick to waterless wash for a ‘waterless Method’
That seems like too much work. Don’t get me wrong you guys have one of the best products around but too much.
Seen a RUclips use this along with a RW. Worked fantastic.
20 towels to do this 😂😂
I’m all in on this product
Ammo NYC has this, it works fine guys Ive used it
Larry had to get some competition at some point.
glad someone else noticed this is just like frothe. Still no boost winter wash, rust inhibiting soap additive!
How about a dedicated wheel shampoo?
Just use wheel and tire cleaner in your foam sprayer.
Fast forward to 5:30. You can also use the Wheel and Tire Cleaner like Joe L said above
Lmao they straight copied Ammo Nyc
What a mess
absolutely disgusting and useless, I always wash my car with a shampoo and a hose!!
Yeah this product is not it at all
I will so not do that
Interesting product! But honestly, I think this one would be an absolute last resort for me if I had no other options whatsoever...
I’m better off using mega foam in it at a car wash with 2 buckets tbh
@@jorgenvonstrangle000 Yep, I agree. I like Adams products, but I'll be passing on this one.
That’s kinda the point of this. If you don’t have a water faucet outside. Otherwise they have all the other products that work great.

Yeah, I would pre spray with onr with this anyway, so I'm just going to use onr for the whole thing.
@@NickVetter yea this is just a unneeded and somewhat messy looking product as well as the amount of towels needed.
Lmfao. How many hours of paint correction is this poor black jeep going to get after your video is over?
For real lol
This would have been perfect when I had my black prelude years back living in an apt complex. That thing got so neglected.
Similar to Ammo Frothe. It has its place people 😆
Will a heavier nap towel work?
a good hose will help you a lot and make you save a lot of time and towels!!

Can u use this like a rinse less and use a microfiber mitt and or the black sponge?
Ammo NYC Frothe
Is be interested to see someone do a side by side comparison with Mckees N914 diluted 1:128.
What’s the dilution for those not using ik framers (ie marolex)?
Same he used about 45 oz of water and 4 oz of the soap.
I filled my Marolex to 25 oz and added 2 oz of product.. worked great.
That foam sprayer is junk you have to pump it all the time!!’😂
This is basically Ammo NYC frothe. Used it before...quite messy.

Didn't know it was this hard to get your hands on some water these days

Some of us are wired a bit...differently 🤪 😂
Was thinking, wonder if it would work along with a RW. Essentially using it for extra lubricity.
Yeah, I'm sure something like onr would help. I would pre spray with onr and then wash with this soap right over it.
May. be useful in Germany since there are laws/regulation and restrictions to do with washing of cars at home.
Is this safe for ceramic coated cars?
Absolutely is!
washing car without water is just so unsatisfying procedure :))
Remind me frosty from Ammo.
Nah...hard pass
Can this be used in below freezing temperatures?
Hi Nevan, the foam may not work as well in freezing temperatures, and the chemical itself could freeze inside of the iK sprayer if it is exposed to the cold temperatures for a lengthy amount of time; however, you should be able to use it.

Power washer, a couple of buckets and a good wash mitt. I would never wash my vehicle like this video.

Meh….you’ll have to use a bunch of towels to do the entire vehicle.
