Will rinseless washing more than 1-2x a week cause too much damage?

[Chloe92us]

New here! After reading just about everything I've been able to get my hands on, I've become addicted to keeping my (new to me) white BMW in tip top shape at all times. Thanks for an amazing forum!

ONR has seriously changed my life. I wish I could wash my car every day it's so rewarding and fun.....BUT.....I know that every time I touch my car I risk scratching it. In reality, if I wipe it down 2x (or +) a week, am I going to ruin my finish over time?

i do plan on having it professionally detailed (polished) 1-2x a year, so the visible stuff will be knocked down but I really want to know if I should just back off the washing a bit.

thanks!

When properly done rinseless causes no harm and IMO is actually safer. I must admit I chuckled when I read that your car is white and you're going to clean it twice a week

Looking forward to seeing pics. Welcome to the addiction aka online version.

Granted, I do have to look at it from the right angle, with the sun shining on it just the right way.....but I DO see some dirt (I think!). LOL! Really, it's just fun.....

Done right,technically you can wash your can using any method 7 days a week without worries. But yeah like you said yourself the more times you touch the surface the higher percentage of scratching.

For a daily imo a once a week maintence wash is all I need.

wait until you move past ONR and get to the good rinseless and waterless washes, ONR is the first step, go to Uber and UWW+ those are the winners!

I have UWW+ and have only experimented with it as a pre-wash soak (in place of ONR @ QD strength) and am finding it is leaving a film....I think it's due to the high humidity here so will try diluting with more water. I haven't used it as a rinseless yet though. I'll be trying it this weekend.

I hate cherries with a passion, so absolutely will not be trying Uber even though it gets rave reviews.

The film could be the protection it's supposed to be leaving? Uber works great for me but even with distilled water i get water spots.

I don't think it's the protection....it's like a streaky film. Whatever it is, it doesn't look good. I don't get the film when I use ONR or Opti Clean as a pre-soak. I also don't get the film when I use Megs D156 spray wax.

I really think I need to experiment with the dilution ratio....I have read that if a rinseless/waterless streaks, cut the dilution ratio with a bit more water.

I love the smell of this stuff, so I will continue to experiment!
