A ridiculous question regarding rinseless washing

Sounds like the Rag Company won't see any more of your business

Not anymore, now that I have the PFM!

I live in a townhouse, so no need to do any property upkeep. It'd be a little overkill to have one just for the car, but that is probably EXACTLY what everyone here expects, which is why I love this place.

The problem with this leaf blower is that the opening is too wide, which is great for volume blowing but not ideal for car drying. I'll be working on making some kind of tapering attachment to beef it up.

Now, if only I had a 3D printer...

I bought a leaf blower for just drying and to be used for nothing else

As for it working depends on your protection. I can dry my car 90-100% with my Ego. Works best with coatings or ceramic products. Does wheels in mo time.

My sidekick is now just for back up duty.

Lastly i can go to a car wash and take it with me

I bought some black friday specials by justifying the price. 5 eagle 350’s normally $20 got 3 for $5.

I haven’t made a order in over a year before that and I wouldn’t order other brand products from them.

I paid more for DreamMaker at another store because the weren’t getting any other excess money.

Getting the "wringing out" process down to science is the hardest part of RW's in my opinion.

Too much media, and it's dripping all over and is a PITA on horizontal panels. Too little, and you feel as if there is not enough lubrication/cleaning power. (Self-perceived? Maybe.....).

And as for the leaf blower, that's a big "Hell Yes!".

In my case, my neighbor is a total D-Bag. So I take great joy in opening up my 79cc gas blower at about 190db any chance I get........

You make such a great point, I also find this to be challenging for some reason. I've gone back into the bucket to wring out the sponge so many times to get it "just right". Many times I thought I've squeezed out too much, only to shake it and get it back to that "just dripping" point.

We're splitting hairs here, but many of us enjoy the precision of the process.

That’s normal. It’s the magic in rinseless products, they encapsulate the dirt and you can safely remove. If you see excessive amounts, I’d do one more pass with the sponge.

I’ve used the big red sponge for years. Works great. I do use a second bucket to rinse it just to be sure I’m not contaminating the wash solution.

For drying I also use the PFM which is fantastic.

This is my experience too.

The idea is that the dirt has been "wrapped" in the polymers.

I try not to over think the process, so I just go with Yvan's recommendation to "apply" the solution to the surface and wipe what's left with an Eagle Edgeless.

That is why I use a wash mitt or multiple wash mitts. The cleaning process should get the surface completely clean. In theory, the drying towel should be completely clean when you are finished.
