I love ONR + MF's but don't like doing a lot of laundry. And it seems to me that all the running towels thru my washing machine is semi counter productive to my whole eco friendly car washing image. Even tho it's still using less water than tradition washing, I want to get the amount used even lower - I'm in So Cal for anyone in a state where water is plentiful, that's beautiful. Here it's pretty bad though lol.
Searching on here I see a lot of people using the Big Red Sponge or the Lowes Grout sponges for rinseless. I Googled and saw a few different threads on how people went about washing. Right now I use a MF once and toss it aside. Googling it looks like some people do a 2BM and others use just one with ONR and a grit guard. 2BM sounds good, but I was reading about how the left over water from cleaning the sponge in the 2nd bucket will result in you adding new water in the ONR bucket when you dip it back. Makes sense, not sure if it would be enough to mess with the dilution though. But it seems like unless you spent a good amount of time really ringing out the sponge after an entire car it would make a difference. I don't know how I feel about 1BM + grit guard rinseless. For anyone who does this, how debris free does your ONR mixture stay? I have pondered even doing the GD method but replacing the MFs with a bunch of Big Red Sponges. That's overkill, but I wouldn't have to mess with a grit guard or lug around a 2nd bucket.
I'll pick up a few of Lowe's sponges just because they're dirt cheap. But I'm curious if anyone has used both the BRS and the LCWW and can compare them.
