What is EcoWash? Here's when and how to use it:
EcoWash is a versatile product that offers rinse-free and waterless washing and acts as a drying agent in one! Enriched with SiO2, it delivers exceptional smoothness, improves shine and is completely safe for your vehicle.
EcoWash is ideal during car shows, for quick touch-ups, in areas with water restrictions or on holiday.
In this article, we discuss when and how to use EcoWash properly.

Drying aid
Straight into your towel, for safe and easy drying.
01 | Rinseless Wash
When you have a limited water supply, you can't fully wet your car or as a way to wash during water restrictions!
Preparation
Make the dilution by adding EcoWash to a bucket of water. Use ratio 1:256 for lightly soiled vehicles and 1:150 for moderately soiled vehicles.
Optional: fill a spray bottle with the diluted solution straight from the bucket. Spray the entire vehicle and leave it to act on the surface for 1-3 minutes to loosen dirt effectively.
Wash
Dip your washing glove or microfibre cloth into the bucket. Squeeze out excess solution until the glove/cloth only drips lightly.
Work in straight lines, apply minimal pressure and wash one panel at a time.
Rinse the wash mitt regularly in a clean bucket of water or use several clean cloths to avoid scratches.
Drying
After washing, dry each panel immediately with a soft drying cloth such as the SilkDryer EVO.
For best results, use EcoWash as a drying aid and quick detailer to aid drying and add an extra layer of gloss.
02 | Waterless Wash
Before or during car shows, on stored cars, or for all quick touch-up moments.
Preparation
In a 1000ml spray bottle, mix 100ml EcoWash with 900ml water to a powerful 1:10 solution.
Be prepared, and make your solution in advance.
Spray and soak
Generously spray the EcoWash solution directly onto a soft microfibre cloth, e.g. a SoftWipe EVO.
Spray the solution on the surface of the car. Let the solution take effect for 1-3 minutes. Do this panel by panel.
Finish
Wipe away the dirt with the sprinkled microfibre towel, working in straight lines and applying minimal pressure. Use a clean part of the towel for each movement.
Use a dry microfibre cloth to remove the residual solution and polish the surface until it shines.
Pro-tip for the road: keep a small bottle of this solution in your car for quick touch-ups, for example to remove bird droppings.
03 | Drying aid / Quick Detailer
The must-have for safe, scratch-free drying, paint protection and shiny results!
Preparation
Make a 1:20 solution. E.g. mix 25ml EcoWash with 475ml water in a small spray bottle.
Application
Spray +- 5 sprays of the EcoWash solution on your SilkDryer or other microfibre towel.
On top of that, you definitely get to liberally spray the car itself.
Drying
Use the towel for 2 to 3 panels.
Thanks to EcoWash's good lubrication, you will notice how effortlessly it glides over the surface. The product leaves a light haze that quickly evaporates, after which your car will feel smooth and have a shiny finish.
* Pro tip: When using EcoWash as a drying aid, dilute with distilled water instead of tap water.
Now it's your turn to try!
