Video Tutorial - How To Do a Maintenance Wash

[LEDetailing]

I really like the idea of using the PW with no wand. Especially for wheels and wheel wells. I have been using the PW at work and getting door jambs too. No wand would make door jambs easier too. It is amazing how little to no “overspray/mist” gets into the passenger compartment. Granted the cars I’m cleaning have vinyl/rubber floors, so I’m a little less worried.

Good job Will, thanks for making and posting the video! I'm a hobbyist and I don't generally do traditional washes (no running water at my shop - so 100% rinseless for my maintenance washes) but it is always great to see the procedures that others use. One question comes to mind though...

In the video you foamed your car, then went right to gently rubbing your paint with your wash mitts to do the actual wash. I was always under the impression that when using a foam cannon or gun, you should foam the car, let it dwell, then rinse it off to remove all of the loose contaminants before proceeding to the 2BM wash steps. My assumption is that because you do production detailing your method is just more time saving, but I am curious as to your thoughts on this. For a weekend warrior just maintaining their own car (and not necessarily concerned with the time involved) would you advise to rinse after letting the pre-soak foam dwell time before moving on?
