What's the Difference? P&S Epic Waterless, Absolute Rinseless and Pearl Shampoo Comparison

Renny takes a few minutes to share the differences between P&S Epic Waterless wash, the all new Absolute Rinseless wash and an old favorite, Pearl Shampoo for a traditional wet wash.

[@waxmanvids5015]

I used Absolute for the first time last night it will be my "go to" rinseless wash from here on out… Super slick when using!

[@detailersgarage]

Nice, just got Absolutel in, can't wait to try it.

[@motortherapy6128]

I've used both Pearl and Epic, so of course I'm looking forward to trying Absolute. I've been wanting you guys to make one for a while to compliment Bead Maker.
And I don't believe you that the Chevelle gets dirty...haha

[@gregsullivan7408]

I always use the waterless method, even when the car is very dirty. I use a rinseless product, at the rinseless dilution, but applied very liberally. Even at this low concentration, there is still a tiny bit of residue left (most visible on the glass), and i then spray & wipe off with demineralised water. I of course use a VERY light touch. The very light marring this process causes over time is easily machine polished off with a soft pad & finishing polish.

Where does P&S Chrystal Wash fit in the line up.

[@bryanvlogs1421]

I just got done using absolute my only complaint since i use it for my business is it does the worst out of all rinse less solutions while in direct sunlight and streaks the most out of all them.

[@PolishedMobileDetailing503]

I never have any issues like that with ONR. Glad I didn’t buy this stuff.

[@bryanvlogs1421]

@@PolishedMobileDetailing503 I also use ONR and never had problems with streaks like you said and with absolute it was a nightmare. other than that the gloss is there and the slickness after but not sun friendly killed it for me. I will be sticking with ONR.

[@Detailpops]

are you using di water? Depending on your dilution too just like with onr you get polymer streaks that can be dried with a towel

[@bryanvlogs1421]

@@Detailpops yes i use DI water and my dilution isn't the problem i use standard 256 to 1. It's just this product doesn't do well in direct sunlight with our California heat compared to ONR.

[@Detailpops]

@@bryanvlogs1421 hmm that’s weird. I’m in Temecula ca and I just got my bottle today from Amazon. So far so good. I don’t think it was direct sun but it was 82 today.

[@mikezupancic2182]

Please stock the 32oz bottles with an Epic label, or just sell the labels and bottles separate. Tried to get one today and not available.

Is epic safe for ceramic coated vehicles?

[@JesusRamirez-cc6rf]

Question, I usually always clean my car on the weekends but then like about 2 days later the car get's either Bird Poop or just really dusty with a bit of tree spas. Is it safe and okay for me to use the Epic Waterless Wash even though I applied the Defender SiO2 Protectant on the day I had washed my car. But bottom line is can I use the Epic Waterless wash Spray solution everyday if my car gets Bird poop or any kind of dirt grim spas?

[@andyguildford]

Can you use Absolute as a waterless wash, just spraying it on and wiping it off, without the bucket of solution?

[@Reaper-Jim]

Why couldn’t you just use “Absolute” to traditionally wash your vehicles? If it’s highly concentrated and lubricated, why do you even need waterless or traditional soaps? What am I missing here?

[@PolishedMobileDetailing503]

You don’t lol. It’s all marketing. You can drop absolute or ONR or mckees or whatever right in a bucket and no need for anything else besides a power washer for the pre rinse. Waterless wash is just rinseless wash at a stronger dilution. Both of them are just cleaning agents that don’t make suds. All the smoke
And mirrors 🤷

[@rennydoyle]

Hey, this is Chris, Renny's assistant. You don't need anything else most of the time. Absolute or ONR used traditionally will work great most of the time. Now sometimes, you will have a car that is do dirty or neglected that having a heavy wet foam on the vehicle will help break down more dirt in tight areas, around badges, etc.

[@gregsullivan7408]

​@@PolishedMobileDetailing503FWIW, Yvan said that the waterless products are very different to rinseless - it's not simply a different concentration.

[@TheBreakfastLover]

​​@@PolishedMobileDetailing503there's a higher proportion of polymers than surfactants in Waterless. Rinseless have a larger relative proportion of surfactants to polymers

[@AndrexZ18]

Does Pearl shampoo contain gloss enhancers or wax?

[@AJ-nl8bg]

what about me who doesnt have a Chavelle?!? 😉
