Issue with Wolfgang Uber Rinesless Wash

[RMarkJr]

alright .. so I have been using the uber rinseless wash for a bit now .. I have noticed issues with spots all over the car and also streaks.

I have read the dilution ratios here and I am using 3oz to a gallon of water and spray and wipe off the car. I will spray .. wipe with one microfiber and then go back over it with a dry microfiber. In bright sun it looks great .. but when the sun starts going down I see the spots/dots all over the car. Now I was just trying to do my daughters black car and the sun is starting to go down. I couldn't wipe fast enough to not get it to streaks/smears that I couldn't get off with the dry cloth. I had to go back over it with the wet cloth and dry cloth right over it .. like swipe wet .. swipe dry. something doesn't seem right with this.

I have a few questions.

My first question is ... is my dilution too much since its streaking?

Also I noticed the dilution is 1oz to 3 gallons of water for a rinesless wash... but the dilution for a detail spray is 3oz to 1 gallon of water. How does that make sense?? why would it be so much less for a rinesless wash vs a detail spray?

Anyone else have issues with this stuff leaving spot or streaks?

Thanks for the help

The spots that you mention seem more like hard water spots or etching.

I've never had a problem with Uber streaking. I use it as a rinseless at 2 oz per 3 gallons and dry with one towel a section at a time. Dry with wet side, then flip to my dryer side and everything disappears.

I haven't used it at or as a detail spray, sorry.

The reason for a stronger dilution for a waterless wash is that you want more polymers on the paint since you are typically using less liquid and a dry towel.

I guess i am going to try using distilled water and see if that makes any difference at all. I really want this stuff to work dang it! lol

I havent used it as a rinesless wash yet. I've been thinking about it .. but the detail spray just seems a little easier/quicker than the rinseless wash

Are you using a good quality, soft plush towel to dry with?

ya using the rag company eagle borderless microfiber ...its super soft and thick on both sides

The waterless dilution is 1:48 I believe.

Nick explained the dilution ratios before, and I think it was something about the concentrations of the 'shiny' stuff versus the 'lubricants' at the different ratios. Sorry I don't remember exactly what he said, but it's in a thread here somewhere

Yes, that's the key. I use distilled water for everything I dilute. @ only $1 per gallon it's worth it.

do you use it in the sun? ever see spots when the sun goes down or streaks?

I use it in direct sunlight all the time..





I've never had streaks or spots appear during or afterwards.

I can tell you that the 1 time I didn't have any distilled water available and used filtered drinking water to dilute a bottle of Megs D120 Glass Cleaner, it streaked like never before while using it in direct sunlight.

hmm alright . I got a gallon of distilled .. Im just gonna mix some more and try that .. are you using 3oz per gallon?
