AllShine Waterless Wash n’ Polish 500 ml – £7.99 / 1 litre – £11.75

AllShine Waterless Concours Wash n’ Wax – £7.99 / 1 litre – £11.75

A pump-action spray. The ingredients in both of these products are all natural and completely eco-friendly and bio-degradable. While this is all good, do they still do a decent job? Yes they do. Both products performed very well and well exceeded our expectations. As far as we’re concerned they’ve set a new benchmark in waterless washes. For a start they smell amazing and in fact we had a hard time stopping each other from drinking the Wash n’ Polish, it smells that much of Oranges! The AllShine products were really easy to use. We recommend using them in an area of around 40 cm x 40 cm (15 inches x 15 inches) and don’t let them dry out on the bodywork as they leave very slight streaks. Their cleaning ability and the shine they gave the paint was astounding. The Concours Wash n’ Wax (which contains Carnauba and Montan wax) gave a deep and lustrous finish whereas the Wash n’ Polish gave off more of a high shine. They both work well on plastic trim and glass too. All this, coupled to a very fair price means we have a hard time faulting them.

10/10 for both products. Awesome shine, easy to use and totally eco-friendly.

Smartwax SmartONE 150 ml – £14.00 / 473 ml – £14.99

8oz-$9.89

An excellent product. It came to us as a 150 ml bottle. It’s a handy size, and will fit into any normal sized glovebox, so if the car needs a quick wipe over, it’s there ready. You use the lid and attached lid tube of this 150 ml bottle to pump pressure into it. You can then get a great even and light misting of the stuff, meaning you use less.
Ingenious. Just a small detail, but that’s what we like in products. The other 473 ml bottle comes as a pump action spray, and if you clean your car a fair bit, it’s definitely worth getting over the small bottle. The SmartONE itself is very easy to use and completely non-messy. Spray on, wipe off, then give it a final quick wipe over. It contains Carnauba wax, which protects the paintwork, leaves a great shine, leaves a nice glossy finish on plastic, and smells amazing too. We tried it on the outside of the car’s windows, and it worked excellently, making the rain bead up and blow off at speed. It’s a good product and lasts well too. It is, however, more expensive than the Proshine and Onedrywash.

8/10 Works excellently well on bodywork, plastic and glass. Price is slightly high.

Onedrywash 500ml – £10.76 (car wash kit), Single 500 ml bottle – £6.84

This comes as a kit which includes a 500 ml bottle of the product, 2 microfibre cloths and a pair of latex gloves. So for a start the price is excellent! The microfibre cloths are good quality and soft. The bottle will wash up to 7 cars according to Onedrywash. It was a very simple to use, and didn’t feel greasy or clog up the cloth when applying it. Again, it’s a case of spray on, wipe off and then use a clean cloth to take off the dried residue. Simple and easy. It worked very well on the outside of the car’s windows, and left them polished and sparkling. It cleaned the car well and left a good shine, but not quite as deep a shine as the ProShine product and didn’t work as well on the plastics either. It didn’t last as well as the Proshine product though.

8/10 Easy and non-messy to use with a good finish and good value for money as a kit.

ProShine

Proshine Spray and Shine (Waterless Wash and Wax)

16 fl oz (473 ml)£11.99/32 fl oz (946 ml) £13.95

This is a very good product! It’s extremely easy to use, and you just literally spray it on and wipe it off. We used it in direct sunlight, and the car was fairly warm. However, it didn’t ‘cake’ on and there was virtually no effort in taking it off. The car we tested it on was very dirty too. ProShine made easy work of cleaning the car and left an extremely deep shine to the paintwork as it contains Carnauba wax. Even the plastic came up well. It also lasts excellently too, even in the harshest winter weather.

9/10 Excellent deep shine and finish, easy to use and does last.
