I got some of this Freedom Car Wash in the second Huddler contest prize pack. I tried it out for the first time this weekend, and really liked it. Previously the waterless car wash I used was Ecotouch, so that's my basis for comparison.
I'd say that Ecotouch and Freedom were roughly equally effective. I think the Freedom may have left my car looking a little shinier than the Ecotouch. However, I noticed that it's pretty important to use the second microfiber towel to make sure all the Freedom residue is cleaned off, especially on the windows. With the Ecotouch sometimes I just used one microfiber towel and it was fine.
One aspect I liked with the Freedom was the bottle. The nozzle sprays the stuff really well - it takes fewer sprays to cover an area than the Ecotouch, and it comes out with more pressure. Also the bottle is clear, so you can see exactly how much is in there, and the liquid is very colorful. In comparison, the Ecotouch bottle is opaque white and the nozzle isn't as good.
Looking at the Freedom website, it looks like a bottle of the stuff is selling for $25 (although the original price is $35), which is a bit more than the Ecotouch. I used about one-fifth of the bottle in washing my whole Prius, so it's about $5/wash - no more than your standard drive-thru car wash.
So overall it's good stuff. Not sure if I'll buy Freedom or Ecotouch next time around. Both are really good products that save a ton of water.
THIS IS THE BEST PRODUCT EVER. I LIKE TO GET THINGS DONE. THIS GETS IT DONE. I CAN CLEAN MY CAR IN 15 MIN. THE BEST PART IS IT POLISHS WHILE IT CLEANS. YOU HAVE TO SEE IT TO BELEIVE IT. I TELL EVERYONE ABOUT THIS PRODUCT. IF YOU WANT A WATERLESS CAR WASH THIS IS THE ONE.
I rec'd this product thru the 2nd Huddler contest - cool product. Has a citrus smell, even looks kinda like orange juice! Cleans fairly good. I found that I needed to put some 'elbow grease' into the cleaning process. Recommend a good microfibre towel for use with this product.
Hey I got this product a about a month ago. Used it on my car and loved it. Normally I hate having to wash my car, but it's so easy to use, it doesn't smell, and I don't end up watering my driveway. I think it only took me 15 minutes to do my whole car and it's still clean.
