It's finally at the temperature where I may not want to work outside all the time, I decided to do my first complete Gary Dean Wash Method Wash in the garage. This is what I used:
- 5 grey Cobra 530 towels
-2 oz of Pinnacle No Rinse
-about 30 oz of Pinnacle Waterless Wash and Wax (pre-treat)
-2 gallons of DI water from Rite Aid
-one 3 gallon bucket
-2 AG small blue "glass" waffle weave towels
-5 Micro Fiber Tech 16x27" (or so) waffle weave towels
-the 2 largest wheel Woolies
-2 AutoFiber Wheel Pocket towels
-3 Auto Geek black wheel towels
Anyone who does rinseless washes needs to try this. If anyone doesn't know what the GDWM is, it's basically a rinseless wash where you never put a towel back into your wash solution once its been used. This eliminates the need for large volumes of water, a rinse bucket, and a grit guard. Basically, you just mix up a few gallons of rinseless solution, and use all the sides of a towel folded in fours until the towel is what you consider dirty. Then, throw that towel in the washer and repeat using a fresh towel on the next area.
It cut my time in about half. You don't realize how much time you spend ringing out and rinsing towels or a mit using a 2 bucket rinseless wash method. Also, its much easier (and quicker) to move around one 3 gallon bucket with 2 gallons of water in it than two 5 gallon buckets with 8 gallons of water in them. Plus, no grit guards are required. The car wasn't very dirty, but I wanted to throw on a new coat of Fuzion, as I have been doing so every 30 days.
I cleaned the wheels using the rinseless solution, Pinnacle Waterless Wash, wheel Woolies, and some wheel towels (as above) using the same method. Each wheel just got a new towel. I did hose off the Wheel Woolies between each wheel, as I can't see buying 4 sets of wheel woolies.
After that I tried AutoGeek's Polishing Pal kit to apply Fuzion. This is another no brainer. Once you use this, you will never go back to the round yellow foam discs. It's much easier to spread out a lot of wax farther and faster. Also, you are using the whole contact surface of the pad to spread the wax, since you are holding the pad from above.
It just works much better and faster. Small areas that were too big to use the pad a just applied wax with my fingers. But, the pad can also be used on its edge, so there really isn't much you can't do with it. This also cut my waxing time significantly.
