Rinseless Wash Thoughts -- Feedback Wanted

[Rmd]

I do almost the exact same thing. I wash our vehicles with ONR and about 10MF towels each. Since I never put a dirty towel in my ONR it never gets dirty. Once the wash is done I just fill my spray bottle with the old solution and use it as my presoak for the next wash.

If the car is real dirty I may add an extra shot of ONR to the presoak.

The extra shot of ONR is a good idea. I have always pre-soaked with ONR at QD dilution which is 1:16 I believe.

good idea and keeping it should be just fine as long as you are RW regularly. I was putting the leftover in a gallon jug after each RW this summer and then re-using for the next RW, but in the summer I don't do RW as much and the solution would get a little funky if it sat in the jug too long. Maybe if I would have kept it inside, it wouldn't have been as bad, but it sat out in the heat/humidity.

I've been using a mixture this winter of DGRW diluted 1:64 (0.5:32) in a spray bottle. A few ounces in there have sat in my closet for about a month and seems just fine, so climate control might be the key.

^^ Yeah, I do that. But I use waterless in a spray bottle and rinseless in a bucket.

again. I spray the back panels or any heavier soiled area with waterless then use the rinseless.

I mix rinseless a gallon at a time and add to the bucket when and if needed. So I'm only throwing away something less than a gallon.

I spray a couple of panels at a time with waterless, wash with rinseless, spray with Aquawax, then dry.

There is no one way to wash. I evaluate each car's need and hybrid wash many different ways. Some need a rinse or extra presoak, some don't. Sometimes I pressure wash the wheels and only need to waterless wash the body.

I really like Garry's common sense approach to rinse less. Keeping the dirt out of the solution frees you up to use the solution anyway you need to. No Rinse Wash & Shine is awesome on interior surfaces including nav screens and ever headliner grime so there is never a reason to dump it if clean.

ONR is also great to clean your glasses, your computer screen, your IPad, tile floors, and around your house at 1:16. It sure beats Windex or any traditional cleaners your will pick up at the grocery store.

Me too. IME nothing approaches Ultima WW+ for the pre-soak. ONR or UWW+ at rinseless strength are my favorite rinseless washes. . I only use products with NO nubaa.

I kept leftover ONRWW in my gamma seal lid bucket for 1 week. When i used it again, it seems to have lost some of its "power".

Maybe because I used tap water instead of distilled? Distilled water here is around $1 per gallon. Not economical in my opinion

I just started with the rinseless wash and I have been trying different techniques. I like the idea of a presoak with a waterless product. This would probably be very helpful in the winter with a heavy road salt buildup.

You guys talk about a "presoak", what do you mean?
