    Who here DOES NOT like rinseless washes?

    Who here does not like rinseless car washes? I do rinseless washes about 25% of the time. For me it seems that a rinseless wash takes much longer than a traditional two bucket wash especially if:
    1)i'm doing the "Garry Dean" method cause now i have a dozen+ MF towels that need to be machine washed.
    2)there are any heavily soiled areas of the vehicles such as the wheels.

    I do exclusively rinseless due to that I do not have access to running water.
    If given the choice, I would rather rinse, foam, rinse and do GD's traditional wash.

    In not a huge fan but I am forced to do it at times. I've tried both DP and Blackfire and just haven't been impressed. The traditional method seems to do a better job, IMO.

    Re: Who here DOES NOT like rinseless washes?

    I never could understand why people liked rinseless washes, they are a waste of time as far as I`m concerned. I do understand there are people living in places where water is a problem, so that`s the only thing that works. As you say bad break dust and around wheel wells is just to much for that style of wash. I`ll stick with what I do.

    Tried ONR several years ago and haven't done a traditional wash since, and don't plan on it unless absolutely necessary.

    Rinseless can be done with great results. Proper technique is key. Pre soak the vehicle with a waterless or onr dilute and then do rinseless gd technique and to me this is what winter washing is about. Jmo

    Depends on the weather for me. I like it in those situations but it's traditional all the way for me.

    I've not tried waterless washes yet.

    Re: Who here DOES NOT like rinseless washes?

    Personally I don't know why someone would want to whip out a hose, bucket, foam cannons pressure washer, buckets, blowers, etc when they can get 1 bucket, 2 gallons of water, 20 towels, and an ounce of their product.

    I can understand if your car is completely soiled, but we're all cleans freaks obviously, so our cars are never really dirty, ideal for a quick Rinseless!


    To each is own, that's why it's fun, everyone has "their" thing!
    Back to the full-time grind.

    Re: Who here DOES NOT like rinseless washes?

    How is "I have to wash my 10 towels" a time consumer?

    I dump them in the washer and walk away....all of 15 seconds...

    Until I get back to a house with a hose, I'll always do rinseless...it's is so easy....4 of my neighbors at our complex do them now...wish I got a Duragloss rinseless $$$ commission...of course rinseless is not the answer for dirty wheels, that requires it's own towels and wash. However opti coat your wheels and you'll be surprised how well rinseless will work on them, if done weekly.

    I've noticed a forum behavior at all forums I read; - if something gets popular enuf, it will pi$$ someone off and he will diss it...it happens all the time....dunno why.....
