Expert Notes

A waterless wash works when the car is only lightly dirty: the lubricants help lift dust and light dirt into the towel. ECH2O adds a high gloss SiO2 component, so the finish suits a coated car.

Because it is a concentrate, one bottle covers several jobs. CarPro US also lists rinseless wash and clay lubricant mixes.

CarPro built it on two years of research, around a SiO2 hybrid framework and an eco-friendly organic lubricant, and CarPro US says 500ml makes up to about 2 gallons of waterless spray at 1:15.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Paintwork
  • Ceramic coatings
  • Chrome
  • Glass
  • Rubber and plastic trim

Caution: For dust and light dirt only. Do not use it as a pre-coating wipe-down, and test on an inconspicuous area first.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use ECH2O on a ceramic coating?

Yes. CarPro designed ECH2O to work in harmony with ceramic coatings, and it also cleans uncoated or waxed cars.

What dilution should I use?

CarPro says 1:10 to 1:15 for a waterless wash and 1:15 as a quick detailer.

Can I use it in direct sun?

Yes. CarPro US says it works very well even in direct sun.

Can I use ECH2O before applying a coating?

No. CarPro US recommends Eraser for the wipe-down, as the lubricants in ECH2O can hinder coating bonding.

Is it safe on glass and chrome?

Yes, according to CarPro US.

Can ECH2O be used as a clay lubricant?

Yes. CarPro US lists it as a clay lubricant at 1:40, and as a rinseless wash at 1:200.

HQ Suggests Tips & Insights

  1. Use it on dust and light dirt, not heavy grime.
  2. Flip to a clean towel side often.
  3. Use Eraser, not ECH2O, as the wipe-down before a coating.
  4. Do not use it on a coating that is still curing.
  5. For a quick detailer, CarPro US dilutes it 1:15 to 1:25.
  6. Spray liberally, so the lubricants can lift the dirt into the towel.
  7. Use it on chrome and plastic trim as well as paint.

The Brand

CarPro

CarPro is the car care brand behind CQUARTZ, one of the ceramic coatings that brought nano-protection from professional detailing studios to everyday enthusiasts. Founded in 2009 by car enthusiasts, CarPro develops and makes its products in its own laboratory and factory, and it has grown from a single coating into a complete system for paint, glass, wheels, tyres, plastics, leather and fabric.

The range is built to work together. The shampoos and snow foams clean a coated car without leaving gloss enhancers or silicones that would mask the coating, and the compounds and polishes are body shop safe, with no fillers to hide defects. The same products suit a first-time coating at home and the upkeep of a professional CQUARTZ installation.

At The Drivers HQ we stock the CarPro products our customers use most, from Reset shampoo and IronX fallout remover to the CQ UK 3.0 coating, with much of the range on the shelf at our Ilkeston shop.

The CarPro range: prepare, protect, maintain

CarPro organises its products around the order you work on a car, which makes it easy to build a kit that suits your car and the time you have.

Prepare. Clean and decontaminate first. Lift is a concentrated pre-wash snow foam, IronX dissolves iron fallout with an acid-free, pH-balanced formula and turns purple-red as it works, and TRIX removes iron and tar in one go. For paint correction, ClearCut takes out scratches as deep as P1000, Fixer cuts and finishes in a single step, and Reflect refines the finish before a coating. Eraser then removes polishing oils so the coating can bond.

Protect. CQ UK 3.0 is CarPro's consumer ceramic coating: 70% SiO2, applied from 3 to 40°C and rated for 18 to 24 months. There are dedicated coatings for film and plastic trim (CQUARTZ Skin), glass (GForce, built on CarPro's DQUARTZ nano-diamond technology) and leather (CQuartz Leather 2.0), plus quicker options such as HydrO2, a spray-on, rinse-off silica sealant rated for up to 6 months.

Maintain. Reset is the pH-neutral shampoo made for coated cars and dilutes 1:500. Hydro Foam washes and leaves a silica layer in one step, ECH2O is a waterless wash and quick detailer, and MFX restores the absorbency of your microfibre towels.

Shop CarPro by type: ceramic coatings, snow foam, iron and fallout removers, compounds and polishes, paint sealants and glass coatings.

Where to start with CarPro

New to CarPro? Start with the products that make the biggest difference to a normal wash: Reset, Lift and a pair of Dilute bottles, which have printed ratios from 1:1 to 1:30 so every concentrate is mixed correctly. WheelX is the CarPro product our customers buy most often: a ready-to-use wheel cleaner that is safe on coated, chrome and powder-coated wheels.

Ready to protect your paint? Work in this order:

  • Wash with Lift and Reset, then remove iron fallout with IronX.
  • Polish if the paint needs it, from ClearCut for deeper marks to Reflect for a final finish.
  • Wipe each panel with Eraser and apply CQ UK 3.0 one panel at a time.
  • Keep the coating at its best with Reset and a top-up of HydrO2 or Hydro Foam every few months.

For tyres and trim, DarkSide and Perl are the favourites: Perl dilutes up to 5:1, from a rich finish on tyres to a satin look on plastics, and ReTyre cleans tyres and rubber before you dress them.
