Another thing to me was the fact that the car really was not that trashed from salt. All midwesterners know that car was driven one time on wet salt treated roads for a few miles and allowed to dry in the sun for the demo. We all know you will have multiple layers of salt and crud.

This was cleaned using RW and proper techniques

In the video when he was cleaning the barrels of his wheels....made me cringe.
Definitely leave them barrels alone until you can get some water blast to remove the initial road grime. He keeps up that practice, them nice black glossy wheels will soon show their disappointment in his technique.
There is a time and place for wheel barrel cleaning....and that's NOT one of them!

I didn't even make it towards that part of the video I need to go back and watch it

It is not pretty

First of all, I'm confused by the choice of towels. I would typically use the plush towel for the initial wipe and the twisted loop, which looked like a PFM towel, for the final wipe. This seems to be backwards to me.

Also, if you're going to spray that much solution on the towel, why not just do a rinseless wash with a well-saturated towel in the first place? That would probably be much safer on a car that's this dirty.

Nice Roger. That's a little more realistic

I don't feel comfortable touching the salty panel of a vehicle until it has been treated with a blast of water. If it is too cold for the garden hose then I first give it a blast with the Worx Hydroshot. Other times I will go to the local coin op self serve and give it a blast of their high pressure rinse.

I see absolutely nothing wrong with that Dave, being extra safe is ALWAYS good. With that said and I've hated this phrase for the past 2 yrs but I "trust the science" behind what goes into a good WW chemical. For a car that dirty you MUST not only over saturate the panel/section but it's VERY important to use proper techniques to ensure your not rubbing dirt back into the paint. I mentioned previously you use the "fold into 4's method" and then the "swipe and roll to clean section" (sorry I don't have a catchy name for these

) and it's what we all do whether it's a RW or the WW method.

I like Phil and struggled to post this but it was such a mistep that I had to post it if not for the sole reason of a noob seeing it ready through the thread to be better informed on this as maybe they're looking to try this for the 1st time..."the more you know"
