Tested the Dual Polymer product on my daughter’s 2007 Fusion. I’ve told my daughter that the worst thing to do to a car’s finish is to use a automated car wash, so she leaves it filthy dirty for me to DriWash. This car makes numerous trips between Phoenix and Tucson, sits in a car port, and it has been almost three months since I DriWashed the car. Yucky bird droppings, baked on bugs, and the lower third of the car has silt like road grime.
Let me get the Executive Summary out of the way first; Dual Polymer does not clean as easily as DriWash. It is a great product, and the resulting shine is great, and I’m pretty much sold on it as a replacement for DriWash, but it does not clean as well. If you have the garage queen car and use waterless wash as a super detailer you will never see the difference between Dual Polymer and DriWash, but if you truly use it as a waterless car wash on the daily drivers, you will notice the effort and amount of product it takes to clean the car versus DriWash.
This car is dark and many areas had streaks that needed a slight mist and rebuff, but I am satisfied with the resulting shine and slickness of the paint. I’ve got to say again the sprayer that Dual Polymer provides is fantastic in misting the perfect amount of product for coverage.
This car was FILTHY and I used more product than I would have liked, but many areas with baked on bugs and bird droppings required multiple mists and massive elbow grease.
Hopefully this week I will get to my garage queens and let you know what I think of the Dual Polymer in those applications. To summarize in closing, I like the product and will use it, but I miss the cleaning capabilities of the old DriWash products. (See before and after pictures)
