Was there T actually true? No idea but did a good job of getting ne to buy 15 new mitts and going back to microfiber for rinseless.

Just for the record, I’ve always hated those chenille mitts. Even the name sounds silly. Lol. I still have an old lamb mitt that’s still in the package. I think it might be from the 1980’s.

Re: Rinseless wash sponges
For anyone scared but wanna try RW I suggest this:
-about 5-8 edgeless towels in a bucket of about 4 gallons of solution
-a sprayer like a 1000ML Kwazzer or a 32 oz+ hand pump sprayer to pre-treat each panel with, don't be shy, you've got plenty of solution to use at your disposal.
-couple of your favorite drying towels
Do a section at a time, folding the towel into 4's, giving you 8 cleaning squares and roll the cleaning section after each pass. Once the square is used up, usually 2-3 passes, go to the next square and keep going
The leftover solution can be used to clean the tires & wheels, with a designated mf towel that your not worried about staining.
Use lots of pre-wash and you'll be just fine, trust me/us

It sounds like a lot of steps/work, but it really isn't.
I was trepidatious about them at first, but my worries were gone after my first try.
Easy, and quick way to wash providing you know how/when to use them.

The towel folding is one thing i normally dont go crazy over but did this last time since the jeep was driven home after the coin op to do rinseless. Had picked up some grit while in route.
I did however bust out the hose and do a bucket wash with reset on the buick....totally regretted it afterwards. So much more involved now compared to an onr rinseless lol

I have traveled to and through Chicago many times and have been stuck quite a few times. I have found that there were more problems in the summer than there were in the winter. The thunderstorms seemed to be a bigger problem than the snow.
I believe in treating everybody with respect, and clean cars. That’s what I believe in.

Me too. The summer thunderstorms were much more problematic than the winter storms. I miss when Northwest had a hub in Detroit as if I got stranded there, I could grab a hotel room at the Westin, which has a security gate directly to the airport terminal. Fortunately, I don’t have to travel much as a consultant anymore so no real travel issues to contend with.
