💦 Detailing Waterless Wash- That won't freeze.

[PANDA]

Looking for a waterless wash that you can spray on that won't freeze. I need something to clean snowmobiles. Problem is the temperature outside when I do it. The stuff I currently uses freezes on contact and makes a even bigger mess.

I currently use Meguiars waterless wash and wax.

I don't think you are going to find something like that honestly. Anything that is going to prevent it from freezing, some kind of alcohol most likely is going to destroy the finish.

I've used ONR on a vehicle in a garage during the winter without much issue but never something that was outside and the panels were cold where the liquid would instantly freeze.

This stuff actually freezes way easier than water. Like within seconds it turns into a solid product and just smears all over.

I really don't think you will find something much better. If you are looking for just a quick touchup while out and about I think a good coat of wax and a thermos of warm/hot water and a rag would be a better option.

With the panels being cold spraying anything that is water based is going to freeze immediately. Anything I can think of to lower the freezing point is going to strip any finish or paint right off

a rinseless wash diluted for a QD or clay lube with warm water in a spray bottle may be an option. Spray it on the towel and then wipe the area
How cold is it when you are doing this ? 10* or like 28* ?

What areas of the machines are you cleaning ? sounds like you are fighting an up hill battle but the fact that the Megs product you are using is a wash and wax, that might be where some of the extra smearing is coming from

I noticed that using v07 from chemical guys spray half a wipe and it’s frost on my truck when it’s almost 30* out

I didn't even catch the wax part. Thats probably the main problem. Its just hardening up.

You could try something like Optimum No Rinse sprayed on a rag. It has lots of other uses too so its a nice product to keep on hand anyway.
