    It will work.

    When doing a rinseless wash there's a couple of goals,

    1: Get the car clean without using a normal car wash approach meaning using a water hose with running water.

    2: In most cases, avoid scratching the paint.


    When it comes to reaching the 2nd goal, my opinion and experience is that using multiple microfiber towels where you use a towel to wipe a panel and then set it aside in your dirty towel pile and move onto a fresh clean towel for the next panel and so on and so on.

    The idea being to avoid cross-contamination which could increase the risk of instilling swirls and scratches.


    Make sense?


    I've seen these new towels floating around the warehouse and various offices but haven't used one myself.

    From the looks of them, they look like a good choice for washing a car with paint in perfect condition as they look like they are soft and gentle and that's what you want for cars that you've already detailed or are already in perfect condition.


    I'll take a look at them today because I think the one I picked up and felt has a fleece like fiber and if this is true then you need to purchase a Pet Brush and after use, (after washing and drying), you'll want to brush it out just like a long haired dog to prevent the fibers from matting together.

    I'm pretty sure I cover this in my how-to book,

    I have the one that Adam's sells, looks exactly like the one here except it's red. I'm not a fan of it. It's kinda stiff and doesn't seem to hold a lot of suds. For rinseless washes go with the OPT big red sponge.
