Why wouldn't you wanna pre-treat and break down and bring the dirt & grit to the surface

Ric, how do you "stack" wet towels?

Lol. J/K man.

Nice real world info here. Good honest review.

The dirt glides off with ease regardless. As long as the lsp is good there’s really no need to pre soak. The BRS is nearly soaking wet when it’s going across the paint. Pre soak feels like overkill. I’m also doing this about every 4 days, so the vehicle isn’t crazy dirty. Also keep in mind the color of the vehicles I’ve been rinseless washing are bronzemist & white. But either ways, unless the vehicle is full on dirty it really does feel unnecessary.

I lay them on top of spray bottles until I run out of space and then improvise until the table in the backyard is a complete mess.

Let me try it like this...wet sponge on dry paint or wet sponge on wet paint....

Well normally I do dry towel on wet paint... So it’s not so far fetched. A Kirkland at that.

My paint stays protected. It’s so smooth that it’s close to wet at all times.

I know dude, it makes me cringe. I just haven’t been able to figure out a hamper setup for dirty towels. I tried using buckets with grit guards but then they get musty if you cover the buckets, and if you don’t cover them they get dirty. It’s a good thing microfibers are resilient and come back to life after a wash & dry.

FWIW, try your RW with The Aqua Sponge...very pores! I know the BRS is a forum favorite but I've had GREAT luck when using the Aqua Sponge, well before I used the GD method more often.

Nice to see you review a product and post your experience with it's especially since you were initially not too sure about it IIRC

Is there a particular Aqua Sponge in the line you recommend or prefer?

I looked it up on Ebay and paid like $10-15.00 for it, maybe post it here or PM with it, its been years since I bought one.
