Rinseless Washes - 2022

[Klasse Act]

Darkside I've found needs to go on thin, I'm sure you've already noticed this

Sounds like you've got a solid plan as how and why you buy what you buy. It's awesome you've got Mystic Bubble, I miss TAC system products. I did coat my KN rims with an old bottle of TAC system power plus ceramic coating that's over 5 yrs old, looking forward to seeing how it does

Yeah I like Tacs product too. They have some new interesting coatings.

That's a spot on review Craig! While I don't have as many products as you have I couldn't pic 1 product right now for my sole TW/WW right now

What do you think of Griot's Garage Brillant Shine rinseless wash

Sent from my SM-G991U using Tapatalk

Hate the smell, hate the giant bottle and the weird lid.

It's an odd one. No "gloss" or "wax", but still uses polymers. Close to being a pure clean option like N914 or Gloss Shop Sublime, but not quite.
It's a decent cleaner, but just not enjoyable to use, which to me is pretty important when there is so many good options out there.
I really wanted to like it, but its going in my box to sell or give away.

That's spoiler bait!
I'm trying to finish my writeup, and I'll follow back up here.
I actually tested 17 of them, and only "hate" about 5 of them. The rest are at least decent, but there's 3 that I really prefer. But in general, they are all generally really solid and I just enjoy trying new products.

Very interested to hear your top 3! Looking forward to that.

Bummer that GG BFRW isn’t that great. I usually kinda default to a lot of Griot’s products, but sounds like I won’t be defaulting to their BFRW.

The first and only RW I’ve used so far is standard ONR… would be nice if you could use ONR as a benchmark when you do your write up since I bet nearly everyone here has experience with it!

Not taking away from Craig's opinion, especially since he's doing a huge test over X amount of time but I'd encourage you to try Griot's Garage Brillant Shine rinseless wash for a couple reasons:

1. User experience varies from person to person:

-water type
-weather
-LSP on the paint
-technique

2. New to you product

3. Instincts to try a brand you like or "default to". For you, like myself, Griot's Garage has built that type of respect, give them their due

Maybe Craig can send you his bottle and he's right about the bottle, unless your an NBA player it's hard to get your hands around it, not sure what the thinking was there

That's exactly right. I'm not saying it's not good, or others don't love it or it's not a great option for someone else.

I'm just saying, it was one of my least favorite options, and I really wanted to like it.

It sure is a pretty color though!

Top 3! Top 3! Top 3!

Top 3! Top 3! Top 3!

I'll give you mine, looks like Craig's will be a little longer wait, in no particular order because it's hard...seriously️

1. CarPro Ech2o...been using it and have always had it in my collection since it debuted. Now I only use it as a RW because as a WW it's quite tricky, so it's a one-way product for me. I can't say my rinse bucket was particularly dirty like other products I've used but my God the gloss was undeniable

2. DIY Detail RW...a pure cleaner, period! Not only does it work great as a RW but works equally great as a WW. Right out of the gate I was impressed with it, on my 2nd bottle already and could see myself getting a gallon next time around

3. Feynlab RW...best cleaning RW I've ever used️️I prefer using it as RW due to it pure strength but can be used as a WW but watch that ratio, also when using it as a RW. If your a hard-core, no Gloss enhancers on my costed car...LOOK NO FURTHER

HONORABLE mention:

P&S Absolute...I've never had my rinse bucket so dirty than when I used THIS! Full disclosure...I've used it like 4 times but still, the rinse bucket doesn't lie and even on my car, when I thought it wasn't "that bad" the rinse bucket was dirty! This stuff pulls up the dirt from somewhere and it could easily be in my top 3 but without alot of experience with it I couldn't bring myself to put it there out of fairness to others which I've got more experience with.

Looking forward to Craig's take and if he can widdle it down to only 3, it's very hard to do if your taking this seriously
