Rinseless wash question

[PaulMys]

Mitts are always the good choice for an extreme wash method.

Kinda like this, Bill?

Both times I ran to the DIY spray car wash and rinsed it with just the high pressure rinse to get the layer of sand/salt off the paint. I then drove home (~1/2 mile) and did the rinseless wash in the garage to get the film off the paint.
I used 4 microfiber towels since it's a small car (VW Golf) and is fairly clean after the pressure rinse.

I use the same procedure, except I do a pre-treat using my Uber at waterless ratio. And I need about a dozen towels to do the SUV.

Definitely a wash mitt. You want something that will lift the dirt. A sponge does not lift. Just make sure you use a scrubbing board in your rinse bucket and multiple wash mitts.

A rinseless wash is a good option only after a blast from the power rinse at the local coin op self serve. As long as the sun is out, I’ll use the Worx Hydroshot first.

I have come to believe that the best wash is one with more liquid and less pressure.

So, when I rinseless wash, I use it like a car wash not a waterless wash. The only difference between a rinseless and a regular car wash is the method of presoak and I don't rinse (rinseless) before drying.

Single bucket with a grit guard - either way. Scratches come from pressure and the abrasiveness of the wash instrument more than less perfect water.

But, to each his own.

Your right, a sponge doesn't lift but it absorbs and does it VERY well! When I do a 2BM wash using RW the rinse water turns dark pretty quickly, so I do quick dunks and squeezes of my Aqua sponge. The nice thing about the Aqua sponge or any similar sponge is this...FLAT surface, thus making each single pass that much more effective!

The single most important part of ANY RW is pre-treating the panel! I always make up about 3.5 gallons of product and I'm not shy about how much I use to pre-treat either

So ONR says that with their formula, the dirt releases in the solution and falls to the bottom of the bucket. I cant remember the technical speak for that but that is the general idea from my understanding. Is this common for the other RW's out there ?

I'm not disagreeing with their directions but hear me out. Yes the dirt goes to the bottom, ofcoarse, but even so a grit guard is needed as well as a second rinse bucket with a grit guard for that bucket for the safest wash. This applies to using the grout sponge but when using multiple mf towels in the wash solution bucket, no grit guard or 2nd bucket is needed because your pulling a fresh and clean mf towel out everytime and putting aside when its dirty.
