Rinseless Wash and paint protection?

If this has been asked before or is in the wrong page I apologize. The search function on the app is not the best.
I want to know if after I rinse less wash can I clay, polish, and a sealant? Facing water restriction this year. Thank you

Someone explain the concept of a rinseless/waterless wash to me, please.

Hey Joe,

I did a review and writeup on DP's Rinseless Wash (http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/product-reviews/58370-review-dp-rinseless-wash-gloss.html) a couple of years ago which should help you understand the product and its use...

With a rinseless wash there's no need to rinse. The idea behind this product is to dissolve and float off any dirt and debris then towel dry to a gorgeous shine.

Thank you.

You're Welcome Joe! :props:

When these products were introduced I was dead set against using them as I couldn't fathom washing without rinsing. Once I dipped my toe into the water and tried DP's Rinseless Wash (http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/product-reviews/58370-review-dp-rinseless-wash-gloss.html) I was shocked at how well it worked without scratching up the finish. I suspect that the formulation includes some pretty slick lubricants which play a pivotal roll in the products ability to do what it claims.

Bob,
+1, same boat here! except it was PBW Spray & Wipe that converted me. It still took me a long time to start using less product. At first I wanted to saturate the panels and let the dirt flow down. No! You just spray enough to suspend the dirt where it is - no drooling down the side if you can help it. Then wipe with no pressure.
It takes practice, faith, and a boat load of MFT.

I've found that with most rinseless washes, the chemical solution does not actually dissolve the dirt. It merely softens the dirt and keeps the surface lubricated, so that the mechanical action of your towel will remove the grime.

Thanks! I just did my first rinseless a few weeks ago and was impressed.
