When you open the box, you will find a bottle with a cap along with a spray nozzle to be added later. This is an effective way to store the product without leaking. Anyone familiar with car cleaning products knows that they are prone to leak. In addition to the bottle are two generously-sized microfiber towels. One will be used to apply the liquid and the other will remove and shine.
Sometimes, we're bound by limitations that don't allow us to wash our Pontiacs the way we would like to. Take for instance, someone who lives in apartment complex. Many of these housing structures don't support hand washing, forcing their residents to seek out other means of washing. Well, there may be yet another option for those who can't use a hose. Detail Magic's 1Step Waterless Wash & Wax Protectant allows users to clean their cars down to a nice, smooth shine while applying a coat of protecting wax.
We had a chance to use this on our GTO and found it to be quite useful in several areas. While we wouldn't suggest this product to someone looking to clean an excessively dirty car, it does a fantastic job at cleaning away surface dirt and was very easy to use. What may be the best feature of this product is not its ease of use, but its protecting capability. Detail Magic claims that 1Step Waterless will protect against acid rain, salt, and UV Damage. Not too bad for a quick 15 minute polish that is considerably easier to apply and remove than traditional waxes.
