Pleasant Details waterless carwash is a technique used to wash a vehicle without the use of water. This technique uses a product that contains many different ingredients, including wetting agents , lubricants and protectants. The detergents and wetting agents in the product combine to soften and emulsify surface grime, while a specific blend of fluids and lubricants attach a microscopic layer of protectant to the surface. The protectant is often an extremely rare (and expensive) substance which provides a bonded layer of protection against any remaining abrasive not broken down by the detergents and wetting agents.

With proper application, the product lifts dirt from the vehicle by emulsification . The product surrounds dirt molecules, lifting them from the paint surface, before you start to wipe. At the same time, the application process initiates the cross chain polymer linking process that results in an extremely shiny, highly protective glaze finish. All this happens very rapidly due to the balance of ingredients within the product itself.

The application process does not involve high pressure nor extensive rubbing. The application process also does not require “soaking” – using a high volume of product. When used in compliance with its “directions for use,” the vehicle will shine and water will bead on it.
