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

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!

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

That's good to know.

Personally, i'm liking absolute the most so far but i will try others this year. I probably will never settle on just one...lol

 

[Klasse Act]

These new company's getting into this have the work done by others, so they can then "tweak it" and IMO it's easier for them

I'm getting low on ONR (older formula) and need to order more rinseless wash soon.
Should I try the new version of ONR or N914? I'm thinking N914 this time, but would love to hear some opinions...
Thanks

Well, I wussed out and just got a jug of the new formula ONR, lol...

I was anti ONR for the longest…. Didn’t want to follow along with the sheep.

I decided to try imONRv2 just in rinse bucket as if zwitterionic is a thing then would be good for RElW sponges.

It an absolute are now my favorite. The are both top notch.

Chicago Auto Pros carry DIY. My next order of anything may come from them and I may try there rinseless.

Crack, you'll love DIY Detail RW, check out their ceramic interior too, pricey but WELL worth it, on my 2nd bottle which is going to be primarily to treat my carpets this spring. This product is on my entire interior, even over the top of ColourLock that's on my Alcantara, can't have enough protection on Alcantara

Found this thread that talked about DIY detail rinseless. Was trying to find more people talk ab out it. I just used it yesterday and really love it. Felt more slick than ONR but then again I don't believe I have the most recent ~ 2021 formula. The price is pretty steep for the 16oz bottle but thankfully their gallon brings the price per oz lower than ONR. I think this will be my new rinseless. It smells good to, green apple type smell, hints of Windex type smell though to. I was going to try P&S Absolute until I saw Yvan with this new company and a rinseless. I'm sure P&S is great to though based on reading around.

I use it with my UBS which I just recently switched to. Before was doing multiple towel method but man do I love the UBS or any similar sponge, it's just so more faster/efficient and as or more safe from what I read. Admittedly I still like to use a towel or 2 for my side skirts since those are really close to the ground although I'm sure sponge would be safe. I'll be able to test this year doing a correction then a ceramic coating. Actually going to use the DIY detail spray polish with their foam and microfiber pads to. Always found it complicated to know what pads and polish/compound to get, DIY detail really makes their stuff simple as they say and more DIY oriented. I like that.

Interesting. As a CarPro fanboy (Most of my products are CarPro and I plan to get their Ceramic UK 3.0) I really didn't like their rinse less but maybe I should try again now with the UBS, still got my bottle laying around. Back then I used the multiple towel method. I personally also didn't like that they don't have official instructions or like, it's not a product made for rinseless so to say you know, it's mainly a waterless wash.

But yeah agree for DIY detail, I loved it. It will be my new rinseless I guess, bye bye good ol ONR.

Glad you liked it but don't sleep on Absolute, check em out so your not left wondering when making a gallon purchase

You won’t notice any difference between versions. Used the new one and it feels the same as the old one. Not saying it’s bad. Just don’t expect much of a difference.

I wonder what the return policy is like for the ONR
