Everyone can find a way that works best for them I just prefer waterless wash to rinseless wash because for me it's less messy.
Rinse less or water less should give you zero water spots, its only using free flowing water where you run the risk of water spots.
I did see a video on Youtube where he used distilled water with Optimum No Rinse and Wax. He used 1/2 gallon of water and I think he was somewhere in California with severe water restrictions.

I'm not talking about water spots on the paint, I'm talking about water that drips out of your towel or wash media onto the floor (of our show car garage), when washing vertical sides.
I don't want water on the floor when I'm getting ready to detail a car.
I know lots of people that love rinseless washes and God bless them I'm just not one of them when I can use a waterless wash or a traditional wash.

Step 3: Dry car
To dry this huge car I'm going to use two Guzzlers from start to finish.
The thread is about how to dry your car fast and easy after a normal wash, (as shown in the pictures) and thus avoid water spots.
It went off topic - to the topic of a rinseless wash here,

It didn't go off topic. Maybe it wasn't clear this was only for free flowing water washes.

I thought the pictures I took and then shared would make this point.
From the FIRST post in this thread...

That's me, yep I do all my own work and write all my articles based upon my work. There's a lot of detailing gurus in the blogosphere but I never see some of these guys detail any cars? Let alone take pictures and then write a step-by-step how to article they will stamp their name to.
Final rinse
Sorry, not pictures of me rinsing the car but it's not hard to imagine, looks like the pictures of me rinsing the Camaro I washed the day before for yet another how-to article.
But for those of you that somehow missed it...
I was sharing a simple, easy to use product to dry the water off your car's finish after a traditional method of washing your car using a hose and bucket.
For those of you that prefer to use a rinseless wash you still need to dry off the excess water and for this the Guzzler Waffle Weave microfiber drying towels also work great!
And... you can get them here!
