AMSOIL MIRACLE WASH WATERLESS WASH AND WAX SPRAY

What a waterless wash will and will not do

There is a hard limit here. Thick coated dirt has to come off before Miracle Wash goes on, which rules out caked trail mud as a first step. What it handles is dust, road film, and light soil on a panel that is already free of heavy deposits.

That limit comes straight out of how the product works. Surfactants lift dirt and hold it in suspension so the cloth can carry it off, and a cloth only holds so much before it starts dragging grit across your finish instead of removing it.

Suspension is what keeps grit off your paint

Suspension is the safety net in any waterless wash. The surfactants surround each dirt particle and hold it away from the surface while the product forms a barrier between that grit and your finish, protecting the paint from abrasion during the wipe.

Wiping a dry panel drags grit straight across the clear coat, which is why anyone who has seen that result is skeptical of waterless products. The barrier is the answer to that objection, and it is also why the directions insist on wiping immediately instead of letting product dry in place.

Shade, small sections, and an immediate wipe

Shake it, work in a dry shaded spot, and cover 3 to 4 square feet at a time. Shade keeps the product from flashing off before you can wipe it, and a small section keeps every inch of the panel inside the working window instead of leaving half of it to dry untouched.

Wipe immediately with a clean lint-free cloth. Immediately is the word that matters, because the dirt has to leave the panel while it is still suspended. Turn or swap the cloth once it is loaded with grit, before you start the next section.

Because the whole process runs without soap or water, it works in a garage, a parking lot, a campsite, or anywhere else a hose and a drain are not part of the picture.

What sticks around after the wipe

Anti-static agents repel dust and light dirt, which keeps the shine alive long after you have put the cloth down. Static is what pulls fine dust back onto a freshly cleaned panel within hours, so knocking it out changes how long the result holds rather than how clean the panel looks right now.

The finish also blocks the damaging effects of the sun's ultraviolet rays. On a machine parked outside between rides, ultraviolet exposure is the slow burn behind faded plastic and chalky paint, and it keeps working whether or not you ride.

Where it belongs, and handling the can

Miracle Wash works on virtually all non-porous and painted surfaces, including cars, trucks, recreational vehicles, motorcycles, boats, countertops, and kitchen appliances, so the same can cleans a UTV hood and a shop refrigerator door. Test matte and other porous finishes on a small area first, since a matte clear coat behaves differently under a wax-bearing product.

The contents form a flammable aerosol with gas under pressure that may explode if heated, with a heat of combustion of 10.94 kJ/g. Keep heat, hot surfaces, sparks, and open flames clear, skip the cigarette, and never spray toward a flame.

Store the pressurized can locked up, well ventilated, out of sunlight, and below 50°C (122°F), and never pierce or burn it. The white emulsion smells of lemon, may be fatal if swallowed and it reaches your airways, and is harmful to aquatic life. AMWSC-EA is the 13 oz. can and AMWSC-CA the case of twelve, and distribution does not include Canada.
