The Other Best Quick Detailer - Dash-iT

 Everything has competition.Most competitors will tell you that their product is better than the next.It’s a pretty bold statement when that is the name of your company: One Better Car Care Products.That is exactly the case here.When the Random Automotive posted the review on what I thought was the best quick detailer ever (Bead X), One Better contacted us and said that they had a product that was one better called Dash-iT.We decided to put that statement to the test.
This product is VERY similar to our beloved Bead-X.Perhaps the main differences are the color, scent, and Dash-iT has a wax enhancer, along with being a couple bucks cheaper.It’s a spray on detailer that does not contain any abrasives or alcohol.It’s safe on glass, paint, plastic, and chrome, and it’s for that “just waxed look”.Sounding a lot like Bead-X, right?
It might sound like I’m comparing this to Bead-X a lot.Well, it’s our benchmark, like the auto industry compares cars to the BMW M3.
Anyway, how does it work?Very well.While it may be mind over matter, it seems to spray out a bit thicker than Bead-X.It could be the bottle, or the formula.We were told that we only needed to “dash it” on each section of the vehicle since the formula is more concentrated then Bead-X.A gentle buff with a microfiber towel will take all the crap off the car and leave behind a very smooth, silky finish that feels and looks just like wax.When rain hits the product, it beads up, just like Bead-X.
So is this product Bead-X?Pretty much.So I guess the competition comes down to the small stuff.Green?Not liking that choice.The scent is green apple.It matches the color, but I have never been a fan of green apple.It smells good, don’t get me wrong, but it’s not my choice.The scent of Bead-X is intoxicating.Similar to when car guys geek out over the exhaust scent of a carbureted car, or the smell of Hoppe’s 9 to gun owners.
All in all, Dash-iT by One Better is a very good product.Compared to Bead-X, it seems equal (except for the scent and color).Would I use it again?While I am a diehard fan of Bead-X, if I can save a few bucks by getting this, then sure.I guess the big question is, is it really one better?I’m not sure about that, but it is a great product none the less.
