Rinseless Washes - 2022

[MisterSnoop]

Well it's a very good product, fairly priced AND from Griot's Garage AND is a pure cleaner

I think you'll like it actually

One of my favorites still.

I'm starting to like DIY more - not a huge fan of the color or smell. Seems to clean better and mixes very well. Even using it inside the house it's pretty good. Absolute is not the greatest for off label uses so far.

I might buy a gallon of DIY next year. Unless something else comes out or owner's pride canada starts using some reasonable shipping companies. Shipping is ridiculous.

I agree with you on other uses for absolute. Favorite rinsless for that use.

ONR for all off label.

So does any rinseless product release dirt from the sponge and make it fall under the grit guard?

From my readings polymer based ones do that. Ones that are surfactant based seem to leave suspended in solution.

Yvan says it’s not an issue for DiY but I don’t get it.

If I’m using a spong I definitely prefer polymer based.

If using multiple towels then either.

How are you mixing Absolute and Bead Maker and what is the advantage? I already use Beadmaker as a drying aid.

I think he just means use Beadmaker as a drying aid.

Correct, using Bead Maker as a drying aid.

Of course, you don't need to use a drying aid, but those two work so well together.

I mist it on just before towel drying, which dilutes it down a bit but without compromising the gloss potential.

For DIY rinseless users, does it foam up when you agitate it with water? N914 does that when I top off the bucket or add water for any reasons after it's in the solution. A bit annoying because I mainly use a split 5 gallon bucket so I often have to wait for the foam to dissipate. Never experienced that with other rinseless solutions.

Gotcha. Totally read your other reply wrong. This is how I've also been using it for years.

DIY will foam. Don't agitate it...

Agreed, no need to agitate or top off, once measured out your good to go. I always make extra because I pre-treat, better to have a little extra than not enough. The extra can be used in the engine bay, wheelwells (even if they're clean, just spray it up in there and let it dry), dirtier jams and even the interior if you want to

For all you Absolute users. Per P&S don’t shake the bottle but swirl it. Also swirl it when poured I to the bucket. Reason being is the polymers will encapsulate each other.

Just thought of you today when I was pouring my Absolute into my spray bottle
I would of never know!
