I generally use the "Gary Dean Method" when using rinseless washes. I mix my solution and place about eight MF towels in the bucket and use them one by one on the panels. After I use one I put it in a pail of water with oxiclean to soak. The towels never return to the original wash solution.
I find that I still have plenty of solution left over in my five gallon bucket, even if I mix only two or three gallons of wash. Since the solution is still clean, I was wondering if I could put a lid on the bucket and keep it covered until my next wash (usually a week or two). Has anyone stored their wash solution this way and does the effectiveness diminish in any way over time?
It only takes a minute to fill the bucket so it is not the work I'm trying to save but I hate to waste gallons of good product. Also, with a bucket ready to go at all times I could dip into it to clean things like bugs, bird bombs or light road grime from the bottom few inches of the lower panels. I go back and forth with different brands such as Duragloss, ONR and the new Turtle Wax rinseless.
