"Best" (Highest Lubricity, Shine, Cleaning) Rinseless Wash?

[dmayer]

I have not used other rinseless wash products but the DP Rinseless Wash & Gloss has gotten some very good reviews. And as far as waterless wash products I have only used Griot's Spray On Wash. Now I know that the rinseless uses water where the waterless does not, but to me it seems much, much safer to do the rinseless wash over the waterless wash. I used 1-1/2 ounces of the DP Rinseless Wash & Gloss with 3 gallons of water and had a second bucket of water only to rinse the wash mitt, and the lubricity was amazing as I slowly moved the wash mitt across the paint! I don't see how a spray on waterless product could do as safe of a job unless you sprayed on a LOT of it. Just remember: I have extremely limited experience. Other people here know much more than me.
I have bought a bottle (and just received it last week) of Ultima Waterless Wash Plus Concentrate which has gotten very good reviews here but have not used it yet. When the Griot's runs out I will mix some of it up and try using that, but I still have a couple of washes left in the Griot's bottle. The Griot's Spray On Wash may be very good (have not used another to compare), and I may have used too little, but it just seemed so much nicer and smoother when I used the rinseless with a wet wash mitt as opposed to the waterless with a sprayed damp microfiber towel.

I use about 8 or so small 6x12 microfiber towels.

The Method I found the most efficient for me.

Spray the panel down with the spray bottle mixure. Take one of my small microfibers dip it in my bucket, clean the panel and wipe and shine with a cobra mf. I DO NOT put the small MF back in the bucket, I just use a new one so water does not get dirty.

What is needed is
1 gallon of distilled water
1 32 oz spray bottle
2.5 oz of onr
6 to 10 small MF towels
2 Cobra plush MF
1 plastic bowl ...

BigBull,

What 6X12 MF towels are you using? Do these have a heavy nap?

Just an add-on:

WHAT IS THE MOST AGGRESSIVE WASH AVAILABLE? Something that will cut all tar, iron, bugs, and even wax?

Us BF Waterless wash for your quicky preps, I use it on my Stang. For more in depth "washes" I use the BF Rinseless wash. I love the shine after using either. If you want to amp up the gloss afterward, use the BF Polyseal to amp up the shine. Good Stuff!

They were zwipes from amazon. Since then I have switched to the Autogeek Rolled blues and the megs wash media. Meguiars X3002 Microfiber Wash Mitt

It hold just enough water and still easy to glide.

I don't think that exists...
Only a combination of products will take care of all those issues!

Yeah, Griot's product is a WATERLESS wash, not rinseless. Now as far as rinseless washes go, well, I've tried/used 4 of them so far:

-ONR
-BlackFire
-DG
-DP

I bought a gallon of ONR and loved it, it was my first rinseless wash, great product for sure and makes a great QD too. I then bought a gallon of DP to try that out when I was out of ONR, not that I didn't like ONR, just wanted to try something new and IMO the DP works just as well, makes great QD but one thing I notice about the DP compared to the ONR v2 that I used was the fact that the DP was "stickier" on the paint, so if I had to pick one over the other, I'd go with DP there. I got a sample of BF and it too was sticky on the paint, I like that but the smell isn't as good but that doesn't really matter to me, just throwing it out there and is a bit more expensive by the gallon, its like $50.00 IIRC. Finally there's the DG product, smells great, very sticky and its the one I'll be buying in the gallon size once I'm out of rinseless wash, well, I'll have it before hand, don't ever wanna be w/o my rinseless

On the rinseless side, I've used both BF and ONR and can't really tell the difference, other than smell. I like the BF over ONR on that note. I've mixed both into QD strength. Over all I think I would pick the BF as the overall winner. But that is just my $.02 worth.
