Favorite Rinseless Wash

[DanaDetailingPros]

Just ordered my first gallon of Absolute. So 1 more to add to the collection. But I feel pretty confident it will be as good or better than my go to 914.

Both have their strengths. In have a gallon of ONR I bought for rinse bucket to keep floaties at the bottom of bucket. Ended up really liking it.

If I ever invest in another gallon though, it will be Absolute.

I did a quick comparison after my order arrived Tuesday. I had a ONR already, so I diluted ECH2O into another spray bottle, both at QD dilutions. I cleaned 2 windows at the back of the house, same size, same height, same dirtiness.

I spayed the first window with ONR, cleaned it with a MF, then wiped it clear with a fresh MF, cleaned up well.

Then I sprayed the second window with ECH2O, wiped it clean with a MF, it wiped clear. Nice and clean without the need for a second MF wipe down.

The final test will be to see if one stays cleaner then the other, only time will tell.

Absolute.
What's best foam sprayer? or conventional? I was hoping foam worked?

No foam from Absolute, so just use a sprayer of your choice.

Appreciate the response and the info.

I plan on using it as a drying aid mostly on a non coated car until I end up coating it. With ech20, elixir and reload, it’s a tough decision.

Awesome E92 btw.

You will get a small edge in gloss and slickness with EliXir compared to ECH02, but we are talking degrees here.

Less is more with EliXir, it can become streaky otherwise. With a white or silver vehicle, this would be less noticeable though. I tend to prime the towel generously, then one or two spays per panel and work it in. It also works better if you have a secondary dry towel to level it off.



If you are using EliXir as a standalone, I would make sure you be very mindful of what soap you are using to clean with. EliXir and Reload have very low pH tolerances.

This is from the current Carpro catalog, which lists EliXir and Reload as having a pH tolerance between 6 and 7. Which in theory means that anything above or below those numbers will do harm.

Ahh that's an interesting graphic. Good to know, my car soap is CarPro Reset which should be good. Feels like it's missing the text though to explain what all the rows mean lol.

Same thing happened to me with 914, I didn't like it. I think it was because I didn't mix it quite right. The second time was a pretty good experience. I still have it and would use it, but I have a feeling I'm going to like Absolute.

So funny, I still haven't tried ECH02 lol. I meant to buy some and compare it to the stuff similar to OG's drying aid, Topper, the one from Xtreme Solutions. I'm about half way through my gallon. I'll order both when I go to order my DI resin refill here soon.

I have used ONR and Wolfgang Uber the most. I have tried Absolute on my YouTube channel and liked it also. I can’t say I noticed a huge difference between absolute and those 2. They all do a good job.
