Rinseless wash 2BM question

[KillaCam]

I just recently started using the rinseless wash method and I really like it. I use two buckets, one with the solution of rinseless wash and then I have a rinse bucket and a few plush mf towels.
I usually mix up two gallons of solution to wash my car but often have about another gallon leftover of solution. I don't want to waste any product.
Is anyone reusing their solution for the next wash or should I just discard it?

I save mine all the time.

I have a bucket strictly for rinseless solution. And since I use the Gary Dean method any unused solution is clean and good as new. So I just throw a cheap lid over my bucket, leave a few towels in there, and use at a later date.

I was just worried it might not be as effective if left in the bucket for a week or longer. You haven't noticed a difference in performance?

Well if your using the Gary Dean method than yeah, save that stuff for sure as its not dirty but if you use a designated wash media, i.e. Aqua sponge, the cleaning solution sometimes gets a little dirty and what I do is clean my tires/wheels with a pair of mf gloves, they always come out clean! Also, when I feel the engine bay is getting dirty to my standards I use the same pair of mf gloves to clean that with the left over too.

Nope I haven't noticed any difference and I'm sure I've used solution that has been well over a week old.

Only problem is I leave the bucket in the garage so the water turns cold and I feel rinseless washes work better with warm water.

With the Garry dean method, you only need one bucket as there are no towels to rinse. And I also save my solution, extra goes back in Jerry can or sprayer for future use. No degradation noticed over sev months time.

Thanks guys. If it looks a little dirty I will probably just throw it out. I'm not currently using the Garry dean method, maybe one day.
Good tip with the mf gloves I'll have to give that a try.

I got them from Autozone, $4.99 per glove and I use them on the tires, wheels, wheelwells and enine bay and because its a glove you never lose grip because your basically wearing the wash instrument, LOL!

If I am using 2 bucket with wash mitts, I throw them out. No matter how well you rinse the mitts in the 2nd bucket, I always find dirt that settles at the bottom in the solution bucket.

When I use the GD method, I save the solution.
With all the bugs these days, I need to do a wipe down on the front bumper and the side view mirrors after every highway drive.

Well, if you always have a gallon left over, and since you are using the GD method, you could just make a gallon less of solution each time. Keep the dilution ratio the same, just compensate for less volume over water.
