Yeah. Overkill but I had them. So main bucket where new towels soak and the sponge was first soaking and second bucket to rinse it. Then I could dunk into first bucket again.
Used towels never went back into either bucket.
I'm guessing way overboard?!

There’s no law that says not to use grit guards. I mean if they’re already in there and ready to rock n roll, then do it to it. I wouldn’t go out of the way to put a grit guard in a bucket on a RW. I skimmed over your previous post about using soaking towels and a sponge. Why use both? Why not use one bucket of RW with your towels soaking for the contact wash and then use the other bucket for your wheels? That would be more feasible imo.

Only to get a feel for them both. Sponge was completely new to me yesterday. Towels I've used only 3 or 4x now.
So just to experiment really... and I finally had the time and motivation to try and get a good feel for rinseless and how it all works across the various methods.
Appreciate the idea on the wheels. To be honest, that's one where I might still just drag a hose out. I love the time saving ability with rinseless but I'm not sold on effectively cleaning wheels that way. I have no doubt you all can get it done well but I need baby steps!

If you do weekly washes or bi-weekly (if not driving much) it doesn’t take much to keep wheels clean. I hadn’t washed my mustang in a month and I used Sonax Wheel cleaner on it. It only turned purple (iron removing color) on the lug nuts.
You can also just used mild APC to clean wheels if you wanna do it that way and have a bucket for your wheel brushes. I had only mentioned using RW on rims because I had seen a DIY Detail video of them doing it the same time they were doing their car and it came out good. But they also put their RW in a foam cannon to spray the car and rims down.

I haven't tried the gel, but I like how the Instant Dressing applies. I just spray it onto the All Sorts and wipe it around and around till the tyre is completely coated, with a little bit of "sweat" still visible, and that gets absorbed in over the next 10 mins. Leaves a nice even sheen.
