Re: Rinseless wash question
I agree the multiple MF's logically make the most sense. I don't even use grit guards and multiple buckets when I do a contact wash. I just rinse the mitt in between panels. I know a lot of people use the BRS with other RW's so if they don't have the same 'water ionic' feature (I googled it lol) how can it still work ?

Using a Grit Guard in both the wash AND rinse bucket is proven to be the most safe method for washing your vehicle. The Grit Guard acts as a wash board for your wash Mitt and keeps the dirt away from the mitt when continually going back in during the wash process. No matter how careful you are, dirt is still circulating around, the Grit Guard AND 2nd rinse bucket ensures a much safer wash.
Give it a try

Re: Rinseless wash question
I don't do RWs but I do use a fresh mitt per panel. I never had the need to have buckets or grit guards.
Treat it like it's the only one in the world.

Re: Rinseless wash question
2nd bucket is not required but....where are you throwing the used MF towels?
Ok, I crawl back under my rock now!

Re: Rinseless wash question
I use mitts with a traditonal wash and I usually put my used mitts in my utility sink (I wash inside my garage)

If you're using a single wash mitt or sponge I think it's absurd not to use two buckets unless your car is already pretty clean. I know all the old ONR marketing talks about flocculation and pulling dirt to the bottom but who is really rinsing their wash mitt/sponge so gently you're not kicking up dirt? My hot take is those who use a single bucket + BRS are usually staying on top of washing their car so there's never a ton of dirt floating around to begin with, and it has less to do with the magical properties of ONR (not that ONR isn't great!). Change my mind
Also I think if we're getting nitty-gritty you can't look at this stuff in isolation and just as important is what you're doing before you touch the car (rinse/pre-soak/touch-free tunnel/worx hydroshot/praying to the car wash gods)

Re: Rinseless wash question
The only way i do rinseless washes is with 12 microfiber towels. if truck is to dirty go to car wash use pressure washer setting and rinse off first. tried the rag co. black sponge thought i could save on laundry. I didn't like it had 1 bucket with solution 1 bucket with water and grit guard &washboard. I also used rinseless solution pre spray. I saw fine scratches that i didn't see after i did it with the towels. so i will stick with having more laundry to do.

I’m with you - after using ONR, I was never really convinced the dirt in the bucket was doing anything different compared to any other wash solution I’ve used.
ONR was fine, but I stopped using it after it seemed like dirt/grunge was sticking to the car more than before I was using it. I still use it for cleaning underhood plastics at work as well as doing the hard floors at home. This is the “classic” formula that was all the rage when I joined, not the updated formula.
