I'm planning in a few months to travel 12 hours to a car show that my car will be in. I will be polishing, waxing, etc before I leave. The car will be trailered but it won't be enclosed. I can't guarantee I'll get the chance to wash one I get up there so I have decided to use a rinseless wash. I can haul a couple five gallon buckets and detailing supplies. I dint know how accessible water will be so I was wondering if I could mix the solution before I left. Will it last a couple days and still be good to use? I'm planning on the CG eco wash stuff.

Oh dude you'll be fine! I have mixes on UWW+ in gallons for like years, it will be fine! So have no fears, so long as you have a lid on it to protect from debris getting in, I dont see how the solution mixed, will go bad!

Enjoy, good luck at the show!

Yeah it wont go bad. Most of the chemicals sold are diluted in water.

My rinseless wash has been going all winter long with no problems. I just wish I had this stuff around when I was going to car shows all over the place.

I hated being in a strange town looking for the coin op washes. Especially since I always ended up on the wrong side of town.

Look into waterless washes too, you can take a little pump sprayer with you!

I actually have a couple Meguiars Wash and Wax anywheres as well as UWW+ concentrate. Other than knocking out some lovebugs last time I was in Fl I don't have as much need to travel spotless.

Mix it with some distilled or DI water in case it's hot and might dry on the car. Should t leave water spots this way.

UWW+ or Pinnacle IMO. Slight edge to UWW+

you shouldn't have any problems. look at DG rinseless wash, it says to dilute 3 ounces to 16 ounces of water to make a QD and there isn't any mention it has to be used in a specific amount of time and the same goes for ONR as well...

So no need for a WW? Just mix them into QDs?

i use a pre-mixed QD solution in a kwazar bottle (same one below and bought it locally at a horse supply store) and spray each panel before wiping with the wash media...

Yeah so basically just mix the WW into QD strength and wipe the panel?
