Waterless wash, techniques for SPEED?

That’s the only waterless wash product I would trust. If I were in an apartment I’d definitely have it.

Frothe seems like it’d be a mess to work with.

I just watched the video again. It looks like Larry was avoiding making a mess but that doesn’t mean everyone will.

Definitely doesn't make a mess at all. No more than doing a onr rinseless and having it drip over the floor.

All I know is it truly works and does exactly what he says. No muss no fuss and it hasn't screwed with my coatings like other waterless or rinseless washes have.

Exactly what "screwing has happened to your coatings, and what type of coating are you using?

I have had ONR and Uber rinseless mask hydrophobics on a couple of different coatings. On different occasions.

Especially with CSL and call/exo. And again when I became a IGL installer. Most of these rinseless/waterless washes that have gloss enhancers or something else in them I have had issues in the past with.

Now I stay away from most of that stuff. Hyper wash for regular washes, Ammo Frothe for waterless washes and IGL enhancer for detail spray. And IGL premier for the occasional top off.

Again this is just what I have experienced. If it doesn't work on my personal rides I don't recommend it to my clients. I know the above stuff works and works consistently without the chance of issues.

Occasionally I'll get clients asking what about so and so product. I tell them if they try it and it causes a issue then that's on them.

I find that using detail spray (I used BeadMaker) and wipe with just 1 MF towel every day is easiest Vs doing it once a week (or longer).
10 mins a day, I'm done on my daily driver. Small car, Miata, park in garage.
Wheels wipe down, I will do 2-3 times a week another 6-7 mins.
Tires dressing, once a week or as needed.

But we just got snowed, with snow and salt on the road, I reckon it may take me longer now (and more than just 1 towel).

Post snow storm, I wouldn't even attempt a waterless wash unless I'd treated the car to something before like a touchless car wash or some quality time in a coin-op wash bay with the pressure washer. Besides, you'll want to de-salt the underside of the car any way and both options will allow you to do that.

I think combining doing rinseless wash with a presoak is pretty safe. No real need to use two different products or dilutions, just mix up say 3 gallons of rinseless and pour some of into to a pump sprayer and drop a bunch of towels into your wash bucket. It’s often referred to as the “Gary Dean wash method”. Just grab a Gamma Seal lid for bucket to protect you self from spilling it.

For interior cleaning I also use rinseless/waterless washes. They don’t seem as harsh as APCs and don’t streak and wipe away nicely.

My absolute favorite was Megs D114, but it has been discontinued. I will be using McKees N-914 as my replacement.

N-914 is no “wax” product.

McKees 37 Rinse Free Wash and Wax is a nice one if you want something with a little added protection.
