Good day to you.

Question 1: May I know what's the difference between these 2 products in term of its content?

Meguiar's Ultimate Wash and Wax

http://www.meguiars.com/en/automotive/products/g17748-ultimate-wash-wax/#8171X8QHQkvOUsvM.97

Meguiar's Ultimate Wash and Wax Anywhere

http://www.meguiars.com/en/automotive/products/g3626-ultimate-wash-and-wax-anywhere/#T0LaXqgOHLmmcYuc.97

Question 2: Can I use Meguiar's Ultimate Wash and Wax in a car wash without rinsing?

Question 3: Are both products similar except that "Meguiar's Ultimate Wash and Wax Anywhere" is diluted / mix with water while "Meguiar's Ultimate Wash and Wax" is not.

Thank.

No, they are very different products. UWW is a shampoo-like bucket wash product with a bit of carnauba, and UWWA is a "waterless" wash spray product. I do not believe it's a dilution of any other product, but Detailer D115 is a concentrated version of UWWA you can buy in bulk and dilute to match UWWA.

Correct. These are different products with very different methods of application. No you cannot use G17748 Ultimate Wash & Wax without rinsing. It is designed to be used as a traditional wash diluted in a bucket with water and requiring you dry the vehicle after rinsing.

Just out of curiosity, what are the side effects if I don't rinse my car but just purely wipe it dry? Will white residue form whhx looks ugly but will not cause any damage to the car body paint?

Thanks.

Oh, I forgot to mention UWWA also has a bit of carnauba, but yes, they are just used differently. I use UWW (or GC Shampoo) for a traditional wash, after which I rinse and dry with a leaf blower. It's a lot of work best saved for when I really need it. I use UWWA "on the fly", on a daily basis, by spraying it on and wiping it off with a Supreme Shine rag/towel. I can use UWWA anywhere, and fairly quickly.

You'll get use to what works as you use these products, but I would not avoid rinsing UWW off, nor would I use water with UWWA, because if I'm going to use water, I might as well be doing a full wash. I hope that helps??
