    Stupid question, rinseless wash alternative?

    Instead of buying a regular rinseless wash, can we somewhere dilute regular car soap to work the same?

    I want to start cleaning my interior plastics, seats and carpet and don’t really want to use APC.

    I’ve heard the debate that APC shouldn’t be no where near interior , others say they do use it.

    Well I’m trying to explore other options, be creative.


    Thoughts?

    Re: Stupid question, rinseless wash alternative?

    Mike Philips uses Sonax Glass as a rinseless and waterless wash. And maybe as a clay lubricant but I can't remember on that last one. Just bought a gallon of Sonax Glass to have on hand for similar uses. Though I still have quite a bit of Uber SiO2 Rinseless to use up. Looking forward to reading other responses.

    I should add that people are complaining about Carpro Reset leaving a film. I think you might have a similar issue with regular carwashes and so would need to be careful using just any car wash. As a matter of fact, that is one of the reasons Mike gave for liking Sonax Glass as a rinseless/washless.

    Have you considered using your rinseless
    wash for interiors? Many people report that
    they use rinseless washes (RWs) on interiors.

    Optimum ONR, and McKee’s 37 N-914,
    are two that come to mind; and are
    mentioned here @AGO quite frequently.

    You might consider trying Optimum Power Clean at different dilution ratios. I have pretty good luck at 6:1. Floor mats and heavily soiled areas at 3:1

    Cool, I’ll check it out. Just out of curiosity is ONR same as Mckees 37?

    As far as quality goes?

    Of course, in my opinion.

    If you want to try an inexpensive rinseless wash it's hard to beat Duragloss.

    Re: Stupid question, rinseless wash alternative?

    You have to adjust what you use to what you're using it on. Not all interiors are the same (obviously). Lighter products like ONR will work fine on cleaner interiors. Stronger products will be needed on dirty and worse. There is no best product for all types of interiors (Though some will chose to go that route with a stronger cleaner.)

    I would get some ONR for cleaner interiors. It's cheap to use and works well. I would use it out of a 2 gallon bucket with 1/2 gallon of distilled water ( or equivalent. It's 50 cents of insurance that your city water isn't compromising the products full potential) and maybe an ounce of ONR (You can adjust this to fit your need as you gain experience with it.).

    If you don't have ONR and don't want to spend the money right now, kick your APC down to 1:30-1:50 on cleaner interiors. Once again, at those lower levels, I would work it out of a bucket with clean water (It does work better at cleaning with weaker cleaners in my experience - Both clean water and working with a saturated MF out of a bucket.).

    @ducksfan true, I just don’t want to use APC at all.

    Your post makes a lot of sense tho.

    Thanks everyone who replied.
