    So it removes the "thinking"

    I usually make upwards of 5 gals of rinseless at a time and store any leftovers in the 5gal bucket with the lid screwed down to seal it. I use a modified Gary Dean method so my water is always clean.

    I use a second bucket to wring out my rags into during the winter months. Once wrung out I put my rags into a laundry tub but then then I typically hang them up in the laundry room to dry and wash them when I have a full load.

    Re: Ech2O as Rinseless - First use impressions

    So far I really like ECH2O as a rinseless wash, it leaves a really nice gloss.

    Easy to apply, just make sure it's dried properly...like any other rinseless wash.

    I tested it on my mother's car before using it on clients cars.

    Here's a couple of shots taken today after applying it about a week ago. The car was a little dirty but we had some rain over the weekend here in south FL. These shots were taken after she drove it in the rain. The car has a coating on it but I don't think I've ever seen it clean up so nicely just from rain.

    As I asked over on ACC, how well does it wash out from towels?

    I give the towels a soak in a light apc dilution and then wash as usual. I also spray them down with a light degreaser prior to them being put into the wash and I haven't noticed any issues.

    Not to hijack, but i used some in a, roughly, 12:1 dilution and used it as a drying agent. Works great!

    To prevent water spotting use distilled water. Especially since you're gonna store the leftovers away.
    Always keep the shine in your life.

    Thank you for the honest review Ron. And I think some appreciate the receipt to prove you are not "schilling". I can't believe the nerve of some of the people on these forums, that all but called you out for "schilling" products for PBMG. Just funny you need to go out of your way to point out that you aren't.

    I respect what you are saying but when doing a rw the water should never be allowed to dry before using a towel of course.

    I used distilled water with ONR, and there are still some water spotting left over. Distilled water doesnt help eliminate water spot 100%, I think.

    Correct there may be some spotting from the polymers but not from minerals. They should wipe away with ease.
