The best waterless wash

[FUNX650]

Thanks everyone...for your opinion's .......

since I will be 80 next month, I think
using waterless spray will be easier....
when the car is dusty...

if it has dirt on it then I will use
a rinseless wash...

does this make sense

IMO:
It depends.

Which one of the below 80 year old
men more closely matches your level
of physicality?

I am lucky. I am in good shape that’s why I enjoy doing the car

I am 70 and I’m in good shape too, although I think I’m the first picture, sometimes I feel like the second picture. A rinseless wash is much easier than a waterless wash. With a waterless wash , you spray down the panel and then you use a wet/dry/moist towel to wipe it off, and you end up buffing a little bit and you spend more time per panel and there are more arm strokes with a waterless wash than a rinseless wash. With avrinseless wash the towel is completely sopping wet and all it needs to do is glide over the surface to pick up all the dirt. you glide over to panels, retire the towel and grab another from the solution. And do two more panels. Rinseless is much much easier on my body than a waterless wash. one swipe with a waffle weave towel dries the whole thing and you’re done. If My car just has garage dust on it and a few water spots from the most recent rain, I can do the whole car in 20 minutes. Easily.

How is everyone washing the wheels especially if you want to do the barrels? I'm finding myself in excess of 20 minutes just on them alone using a traditional wash. And that's on lightly to moderately dirty wheels.

I’ll have to be disagreeable again Glen. I find waterless easier (unless it’s one that you have to buff a lot). It’s spray and wipe, done. Rinseless is dunk, wipe down, dry. Plus you have to carry a bucket around the car; a little bottle is much lighter.

As far as using only rinseless, I was in that camp (except for garage queen) until recently. I’ve found that waterless on a coated car works better than I expected (and/or waterless tech has advanced lately).

Wheels and tires is the tricky wicket. I just use the rinseless and waterless on the wheels and if not too bad works ok. I’ve heard coating helps but haven’t gotten around to it yet. Tires I hate to admit I’ve been ignoring.

This matches my experience also.

We will agree to disagree. I will never trust a dry/moist microfiber that a waterless would use over a completely sopping wet microfiber in a rinseless application, no matter how much dirt or dust is on the car.

I will disagree with your "no matter how much dirt or dust is on the car". Nothing would be safer than a hose and bucket wash.

[Bill D]

Even safer: washing with a hose and a foam gun

^^^ OK.

•There appears that are more suggestions
to do RWs—instead of WWs—with reasons
varying from: less chance of inflecting
swirls; to they’re easier on the body.


•IMO:
-To stay in good shape, especially for an
older person, one needs to keep on doing
more and more physically challenging tasks.

-That’s why I’ll suggest to not take the
easy way out—mentally or physically.

{That is to say: If you prefer doing WWs
for the majority of your car washing tasks,
then I sure won’t be the one telling you
to completely change-up to another car
washing process.}


•Hope you’re still staying in good shape,
and still washing your vehicle(s) during
the next 10, 20, or more years…
