Air Injection, i.e Garry Dean - is it ok for Rinseless Wash
GD talks about air injection and has a simple setup and a more complicated setup (see his Youtube stuff). I would like to explore using the simple setup which involves just an air compressor and an inexpensive spray gun. Looks cool on the video - just spray and wipe. Wondering if any of you have tried it and, if so, your impression.

Wouldn't just spraying and wiping be waterless washes?
I use a pressure sprayer for waterless washes.

OK...A video depicting yet another
"hybrid" process/method...for the
purpose of washing/cleaning vehicles.
Thanks, OP, for sharing
it with us here at AGO.

During one of his demonstrations he says it may cause swirls, but that's okay because he doesn't have time for people who whine about swirls because they're so easy to get out.
To me, that's not okay. I understand there are people who don't care about swirls, but for maintenance washes for your own car (or for a customer), I think taking every step to avoid swirls is the best bet.
When doing a waterless wash, I use a pressurized sprayer, and liberally soak a panel. Then, I use the sprayer to "push" the dirty water off the area after it has dwelled, then use a wet long lap microfiber to pick up what's left.

Yes, you're right. I misspoke when I called it rinseless.

Do you think it is the air pressure that's causing the swirls, or the wiping technique. I not very experienced in the detailing world so I'm trying to understand all possible options while, hopefully, keeping it simple.

It's his wiping technique. I think part of the reason he is using air pressure is similar to using a pressure washer to remove dirt similar to how we already do. It's just with his system you are already presoaking the panel with rinseless or waterless solution at the same time.
Basically you could do the same thing by using a pressure washer to rinse off the grime and then presoaking the car with a pump sprayer.

I believe it is also because it is a "drier" approach. There is not much lubrication when wiping.
