Well, also from yesterday it was warm (for December) and sunny, so I decided to do a quick rinseless, with 1/4 oz ONRWW in a half gallon of water (small car).
I've been trying to like the multiple-media method since that guy that used to be a member here started promoting and named it after himself (I've tried looking him up in the phone book but there's no one named Multiple Media in there, so I think he was using a pseudonym...or it could just be that they don't make phone books anymore so mine was too old to have him in there). The other day I came across some TRC Eaglet 350's that I bought for this purpose but forgot all about. So I used 12 of them and also finally got to try my TRC Cyclone Ultra wash pad (for one pass each side)...and liked the multi-media method the most to date. The Eaglet 350's were a little light for this purpose, perhaps the 500's would be better, which happen to be on sale right now. Still not sure I like the way the fibers on these towels lay down when they are wet, and the marring potential of the dirt staying on the surface of the towel instead of going between the fibers. Already too long a discussion for this "topical" thread.

Yeah 500's are more "comfortable" than 350's for sure, no doubt!
I'm not bashing using 12 towels but rather trying to figure it out. I usually use 6 for the car, 1 to buff dry after each panel and 1 for the tires & wheels, a designated one for those.

I'm using the Eaglets, the 8 x 8 towels. Part of my problem with the multi-media method when you are using a 16 x 16 is it never gets folded perfectly and then you have a dirty edge sticking out, at least that's what happens to me. With the Eaglet, no folding.

Just looking for something to spray liberally into my wheel wells come springtime. Finally out of VRP. Been years.

I did use the Hyper Dressing straight on someone's tires a couple of years ago and it looked great, didn't get to see how it held up because it wasn't my vehicle.
I had someone reach out quite confused about Hyper Dressing after they used it on their engine bay via my recommendation.
My method with HD is to apply to a freshly cleaned and still wet engine bay, mist liberally and then close the hood call it done. As HD self-levels, you really don't need to do any wiping.
Said person noticed a slick, greasy finish that didn't really level off like it does for me, which left me confused too. Further questioning revealed the person used an RTU (1:1) bottle of Hyper Dressing, which was clearly too concentrated for the desired visual result and prevented it from leveling down.
For engine bays, I typically use the 3:1 "Satin" or 4:1 "Natural" dilutions. This makes for an OE look, is less likely to accumulate dust and allows for a superior self levelling effect.
