When I was in high school I used to work at a funeral home where I mowed lawns, shoveled sidewalks, and washed cars. I consider myself a pretty skilled car washer so my interest was peaked when I saw the Freedom ONE Waterless Car Wash. The way in which the Freedom ONE Waterless Car Wash system works is as follows. First, you apply a water-based solution containing premium soaps, surfactants, and lubricating agents, plus a special polymer polish formula. The solution will dissolve dirt on contact. Second, you simply soak up the liquefied dirt with the microfiber towel. The microfiber towel pulls the dirt solution away from the surface and protects it from scratching. Finally, a second microfiber towel is used to buff off the remaining residue, leaving behind a nice shine. Now, when I first considered this product, I thought, "Are you kidding me? My truck is almost always too dirty for this approach to cleaning!" So, I visited the product's official site and found the following, "Be very aware of the surface you are cleaning. If you feel the surface is too soiled, sandy or gritty…DO NOT USE FREEDOM PRODUCTS on this surface. Freedom products are common sense products." That statement alone made me much more confident in the validity of Freedom ONE Waterless Car Wash. There have been plenty of times I have washed my car when it wasn't really dirty…just kind of dusty. THAT situation is exactly what this product is perfect for. After using Freedom ONE Waterless Car Wash on my wife's car and my neighbor's boat (thanks, Chad!), I can tell you it works as advertised. Both vehicles were left looking as clean and waxed and it was quick and easy and didn't use any water. I rate this product a four-star product, but remember, it isn't for removing caked on mud.

Hand washing your car can have a harmful impact on the environment. Not only are you using more water than necessary, but you are adding to the toxic chemicals in the run-off that leads directly to our oceans and waterways.There are a few car wash products out there that claim to be eco-friendly, waterless and effective. Washing your car without water? Yes, it's possible. We tested out one brand,Freedom Waterless Car Wash, and here are our results. The Products We tested out four different products, for the inside and the outside of a car: - 2 Wax Original Formula is the company's original product and is recommended for cleaning and polishing new and older cars; - Freedom ONE Super Polymer cleans and polishes all solid surfaces such as paint, glass, plastic and chrome. It is said to be used for weekly maintenance but we found it does pretty much the same job as the Original Formula; - Eco Tire Protectant, a product that cleans, shines and protects tires but also rubber, vinyl and leather surfaces; - Complete Clean, which is an all purpose cleaner that cleans grease, stuck-on bugs, bird droppings, as well as remove stains from soiled carpets and fabric. All of these products are applied in the same fashion: spray on the surface (of a car, bike or boat), spray also on a microfiber towel, rub in, wipe off, and then buff off with another, clean microfiber towel. Depending on the type and size of vehicle washed, each 32 fluid ounce bottle can be used for 5-10 cleanings. The Results While initially skeptical, our JustLiveGreener car washers were quite pleased with the end results:  The Freedom One Super Polymer seemed to remove surface dirt and light dust quiet easily, leaving a shiny clean surface once buffed off;  Windows were left streakless and clean;  Using the Complete Clean product, various grease and pen stains on the floor mats and fabrics were completely gone;  The tires needed two heavy sprays to look shiny but the out

Freedom Waterless Car Wash products are still leading the way as a top Waterless Car Wash product which contributes to a greener, more eco-friendly planet. I have yet to use a better product to date. Freedom Waterless Car Wash has once again raised the bar on clean and added a Tire Shine/Dash Protectant to boot! First of all, If you have an older neglected vehicle that hasn't been cared for regularly; let's say about once a week, then waterless car washes is NOT for you at this time. You will need your surface stripped of any and all oxidation with a cleaner wax and conditioned with a Deep Caranuba Wax in order to regularly use waterless car wash so please don't try a waterless car wash and expect big results without having done so. You won't get the intended results and your valuable time will be wasted. For my vehicle, a Pearl Red 2005 Nissan Maxima SE, I applied Freedom Original Waterless Car Wash. I'm an "if it ain't broke…" kinda girl-Original has never let me down. When I wash my car waterless, I apply and clean my tires and rims first. Just in case I get a little Tire Shine spray on the paint around the wheel well. Then I spray a generous amount of the Waterless Car Wash directly onto the cool surface and wash the surface with a microfiber towel to wash off the oxidation. This will leave a haze which can be polished to a brilliant shine with a clean, dry microfiber towel. It's that easy! Since I like a couple coats of wax on my vehicle, I use a spray wax to seal the Freedom Formula which lasts about 1-2 in dry weather conditions.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Oct 27, 2009 - Los Angeles, CA Long Beach City's Police Department and Freedom Waterless Car Wash announce a partnership in a pilot program to clean their Black and White police vehicles spotless and shiny using NO WATER. On October 29th, 10am, Thursday, on the steps of Long Long Beach City Hall will be the formal unveiling and announcement of the Freedom Waterless Car Wash Pilot Program in partnership with Long Beach City Police Department. With the cooperation of Mayor Bob Foster's Office of Sustainability, City of Long Beach and the guidance of Meredith Reynolds, Long Beach City's Sustainability Coordinator, and David Elliott, Founder of Freedom Waterless Carwash, the city's finest have agreed to roll out a pilot program whereby their current method of hand washing police cars will be substituted with Freedom Waterless Carwash. Freedom Waterless Car Wash is a 99% biodegradable cleaning product that effectively cleans vehicles in an ultra eco-friendly way. Each car will be cleaned using two plush, microfiber towels and 2-5 ounces of cleaning product made from a special blend of water, soaps, lubricants, waxes and polymers. The towels can be washed in the washing machine and be used over and over again. Car washing by hand can use up to 80-140 gallons per wash.* [From the International Carwash Association]. Commercial car washes use approximately 45 gallons of water per car wash. The runoff from hand car washing contains contaminated water laden with harmful chemicals, soaps and oils from road grime that gets stuck to the vehicle while driving. This contaminated water can leach directly into the soil and eventually into local waterways, thus creating environmental damage and polluting our precious watershed systems. Most commercial car washes flush the used "grey water" into the sanitary system, creating more water and chemicals to process. Freedom Waterless Carwash creates NO toxic runoff and only uses a few ounces wate

"Good evening, little birdie! Who me? Oh yeah, well f$%# you, too!" I don't know about you, but coming outside to find out that a bird decided to take a big shit on my car the day after I just washed it is my favorite. And yeah, I'm being sarcastic. That's actually the reason why I own guns.

Getting the glass on your car clean is one thing. Getting it clean with a streak-free shine is a whole different story. And keeping it that way? Well there's another challenge. Why is it that what worked one time did not work the next? Why is it that when you used Windex on your sliding glass door in your house people were running into it and knocking themselves out, and now that you've used it on your car windshield, you can hardly see outside?
