On a scale of 1~100 it would be a 1~5 in protection. It excels in cleaning and gloss but for protection in a spray you are better off with Reload or Elixir.
@SkyCarCare if i use hydro2 after a rinseless wash with echo2, does it like extra move?😂 after watched your video im interested to try to use this method to wash my car
@@DerickHo Hi Derick! I MAYBE do not understand the quesiton. If you are using Rinseless wash then I assume you do not want to use a hose or much water. However Hydro2 requires lots of water from a hose or pressurized vessel. Elixir contains some Hydro2 (as well as some Reload and other componeents) if you want it in a wipeoff type formula.
Is there better product for rinseless? It seems a bit like a crossover product between quick detailer and rinseless. In my area its difficult to get hands on Diy, optimum or the N914 or whatever the name is.
Hi You tell 1 to 15 -20 for waterless wash But in product label and also the carpro webstore it says 1 to 10-15 for waterless Kindly explain this thank you
Sure, I would be happy to. Either will work but if you do not dilute it as we suggest (1:15~20) then you will have more product left on the surface and need more wiping to remove the streaks.
I just confuse, what if I want to apply a wax Do this step correct? washing a car > use ech20 1:20 as drying aid > apple a liquid wax Or I should washing a car > drying only with towel >apply wax and then for maintenance wash I just use ech2o as drying aid after wash?
Hi Ron, it would have to be off by a decent amount to be the cause of the reside. Other causes may be leaving the product on too long or not long enough. If left on too long then leave a bit longer until its hazed and then buff off with a clean towel. If wiping off fast then do not over apply.
A sealant is recommended if one is not already on the vehicle. ECH2O has very very little protection. Such a small amount that we don't advertise it as any. Its perfect for wipe-downs but you will want to use another dedicated sealant for your main source of protection. If you want a product like Ech2o that does have sealant in it then CARPRO Elixir would be a great option.
I am not sure I understand. Can you re-phrase? What are you doing with the trying towel? Do you mean that you are using the Ech2o as a drying aid on your drying towel? If so then yes you can do that.
This is the term our industry uses for when you use a product that is a spray and wipe wash = "Waterless Wash" If you pour it in a bucket and mix with 1~3 gallons of water but do not use a hose to rinse then it is called a = "Rinse-less Wash" If you pour "car wash" in a bucket and mix with water and also use the hose to pre-rinse the dirt from the car and rinse the soap off while washing its called a = "Car Wash" or "2-Bucket" wash, etc. I hope that helps, Corey
@@SkyCarCare thanks very much. Would the same be true with Elixir? I’ve been trying both products as a drying aid with my weekly wash (both are great and having a hard time deciding between the two).
@@SlowGTS The Elixir has some strong protection in it that will not wash off with Reset but it will wear off over time. Neither will harm the coating however.
Rinseless Wash is intended as a solution for cars that don't have access to a hose to "rinse" the vehicle. Waterless Wash is for light dirt and debris while rinsless wash is catered to more of a full wash type of clean. And ideally, you won't want to use any products under the sun. If you have to, just make sure to move through the panels slowly to ensure the product isn't drying onto the vehicle's surface.
Hi Mazen, I would say... Advantages: Less time Less mess - can be done in a garage Isolation - Can just clean the hood and bumper free of bugs after a drive without splashing stuff on the rest of a car. Can also isolate one area at a time (wash/dry/move on) - so safer to do in the sun if you have to because you won't have water drying on the car and leaving mineral spots Legal restrictions - Some areas are not allowed to use water. Disadvantages: Harder to clean wheel barrels Hard to clean filthy wheels Not our first choice for a car that has excessive dirt or a daily driver that has not been regularly washed
Hi,i would like to use the following method....but would it work/is it safe? I intend using a citrus pre wash and snow foam on top and fully rinse the car. So the majority of the surface dirt is gone. Then add ech20 to a wash bucket,using a noodle mitt,go over each panel and then towel dry....would this be ok? Or do i really need to be spraying a made up solution onto the panel before using the mitt???? Thanks 😀
noob question! so this can be like a innerqd version for the exterior? Am I right? I'm looking for a waterless quick detailer to maintain my ceramic-coated car and can be used every 2 days since its a daily car. For context, I live in a condo and cant wash my car in the parking.
Hi Iceman, sure. If you want to dilute it 1:15 then you would ask yourself "what is 100ml * 15? Of course the answer is 1500ml. So that means for every 100ml of Ech2o you could use 1500ml of water in order to reach 1:15. If you wish to do a 1:20 ratio then you would say "what is 100ml * 20? Of course the answer is 2000ml. So that means for every 100ml of Ech2o you could use 2000ml of water in order to reach 1:20.
That will work but if you are getting it wet with Lift already then I would imagine Reset would be the preferred option over Ech2o unless there's some reason not too.
Well most of the time I will indeed do that Im thinking for cold winter days when the car is filthy. So spray lift in the garage, take it outside rinse it off, then back inside and do the rest with ech2o. In the past I have been getting into trouble with water freezing on the car
It sounds like it separated. If you shake it and it mixes back up then its probably fine. If you try it and it acts fine then it is fine. If it immediately separates then it is not as good anymore and should be replaced.
Depends on what type of solution you are looking to make. If you go here you will find all of that info www.carpro-us.com/wash/waterless-rinseless-wash/carpro-ech2o-waterless-qd-concentrate-500ml-17oz/
You are right... It is not an exact science. Depending on your own preferences and how hard your water is you will want to vary the exact amount. For exact dilution recommendations you will find them on the site and on the bottle. In the real world - people doing this day in and day out "an ounce or two" is the simplest and most realistic way to say it. An ounce will work. 2 ounces will also work. Which will work better depends on again - your preferences and how hard your water is. You may not even notice a difference between using one ounce or two ounce with a lot of the water out there. Have a great day and thanks for watching!
Thanks Corey. I use the CarPro products and they keep my cars looking clean and protected.
Thank you for the support Tim!
This stuff is fire been using it along with reload for years now 🤪🤪 on black paint
Hell yeah!
Loving the videos Corey!! Keep them up!!
Thank you AJ!! Will do!
My favorite for Rinseless washing on my UK3.0/Ti02 coated truck. Thanks for the videos Corey.
So great to see you! Thank you Steve!!
Is this safe to use on carpro immortal ppf?
Absolutely!
Thanks for the reply, can u also suggest a good paint sealant thats safe to use over carpro immortal ppf@@SkyCarCare
does it has any protection?

Hi, can i use this product in direct sunlight? Thanks for answering ❤
Yes, you can - just follow the tips on our website for use in sun.

Yes, Ech2o is designed to be a rinseless, OR waterless wash so it will do exactly what you need as a rinseless.
Hi

Thanks for reply @@customerservice9897 ill be sure to experiment on this
Do you have to use it on ceramic coated car or ppf? Or is it alright if it’s just on factory painted?
It is 100% safe and useful on factory paint.
I just confuse, what if I want to apply a wax
Do this step correct?
washing a car > use ech20 1:20 as drying aid > apple a liquid wax
Or I should
washing a car > drying only with towel >apply wax
and then for maintenance wash I just use ech2o as drying aid after wash?
Both of your options listed will work if using a liquid wax.
What if we use a pump sprayer and combine the two methods? Use larger amounts of liquid just to be sure.
You could do that
Can this leave a residue if the ratio isn't correct? It seems to be leaving a filmy residue.
Thanks
Hi Ron, it would have to be off by a decent amount to be the cause of the reside. Other causes may be leaving the product on too long or not long enough. If left on too long then leave a bit longer until its hazed and then buff off with a clean towel. If wiping off fast then do not over apply.
Do you need to add a sealant afterwards or is it already in the product?

I've heard you can spray a 1:15 dilution on a drying towel after a foam/mitt wash and rinse. Thoughts?

@@SkyCarCare Yes as a drying agent on a drying towel. Thanks
I’m confused on how calling something you put in water, a waterless wash…

Absolutely Love This!
Thank you so much for an amazing product video!
You just made my day Sean! Have a blessed day brother!
Will repeated use of Ech2O interfere with the performance of my ceramic coating?
No, worst case you can wash with Reset at some point and remove anything that Ech2o leaves behind. But the Ech2o will not damage the Ceramic coating.

What do you guys think about doing a carpro Lift prewash first, then ech2o for a dirtier car?
That will work but if you are getting it wet with Lift already then I would imagine Reset would be the preferred option over Ech2o unless there's some reason not too.
Well most of the time I will indeed do that
Im thinking for cold winter days when the car is filthy. So spray lift in the garage, take it outside rinse it off, then back inside and do the rest with ech2o.
In the past I have been getting into trouble with water freezing on the car
does it works as a clay lubricant?
Yes
I have a bottle laying around and I notice it has a milky white mixture in it too. Has mine gone bad or is that normal or should it be pure blue?
It sounds like it separated. If you shake it and it mixes back up then its probably fine. If you try it and it acts fine then it is fine. If it immediately separates then it is not as good anymore and should be replaced.
I Think this would do very well in a form sprayer
Can I use it as clay lube ? The dilution is 1:40? ( I want to use it with a clay bar or clay towel .)
Yes you can
How many ounces to a gallon of water?
Depends on what type of solution you are looking to make. If you go here you will find all of that info
www.carpro-us.com/wash/waterless-rinseless-wash/carpro-ech2o-waterless-qd-concentrate-500ml-17oz/
Going to try this in a IK foam sprayer. The idea would to foam down the panel and wipe.
Have you?
Timely video for me!
