Meguiar’s Ultimate Waterless Wash & Wax
Price: £17
Size: 768ml
Contact: http://www.meguiars.co.uk
Rating: 5 stars
It may have a new name since we last tested it, but this is the Wash & Wax Anywhere that has topped our tests for some years.
It was pushed hard by the new Shelby option in our Issue 1,639 mini test and it was close again here, but Meguiar’s hangs on to its crown for a fourth time.
It goes on in a fine, wide spray with no spots, then, as we prefer, uses one cloth to remove grime, and another to buff.
It topped the cleaning tests with its rival, plus was one of the best for beading.

Price: £24.99

Rating: 4.5 stars
WE found more spotting more than before, but this is still one of the best, matching our winner in the cleaning test and having a slight edge in beading.
But we did find the instructions confusing, with the website recommending two cloths, and the bottle saying you only needed one.
The less preferable single option is reinforced by the kit’s smallish microfibre cloth.

Rating: 4.5 stars
It’s rare to see a detailer in this test, with most makers now having a dedicated waterless wash. Farécla’s detailer is a ‘mild cleanser’ for use between washes to remove dust, fingerprints and the like. The trigger is good, delivering a spot-free spray, and Rapid Detailer was near the top for cleaning. And as we have seen in other tests, it is one of the best at shifting water over time.

Auto Curators Rapid Cleanse
Auto Curators Rapid Cleanse17
Price: Around £15
Size: 1,000ml
Contact: www.autocurators.com
Rating: 4.5 stars
Rapid Cleanse from detailing specialist Auto Curators gets closest to dislodging Meguiar’s waterless cleaning crown, helped by a £5 price cut since we tested it in 2017.
And as in that first test, beading is not its strongest suit. It matched our winner at first but was working more slowly after a few days.
That takes little away from a strong performance elsewhere.
While it can’t match Meguiar’s fine mist, it covers well, and also left a clean section. Top performance at an attractive price.

I was out shopping earlier and it must have rained while I was in the store. I couldn’t help but notice that the rain had run off the car and all you could see were small beads on the bonnet. Evidence of polish!!

The warehouse shop (they sell "As seen on TV stuff) next to Yorkshire linen where I recommended you try is now closed due to retirement but they are still on Zoco market.
