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. Visit the Freedom Waterless Car Wash and Products website and see for yourself! Freedom Waterless Car Wash - Freedom ONE - "Perfect for NEWER & well-maintained cars!" Freedom ONE is a non-wax, water-based, organic-plant-based soap/ surfactant/ special proprietary polymer formula can be used on everything except the tires. The coconut-based soaps dissolve the harmful dirt on contact and protect it fro

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
