    Time it takes to do a rinseless wash?

    I'm curious...how long does it take you to do a rinseless wash on a normal size sedan? (Not counting glass and tires.)

    It takes me about 25 min for my Corolla, but I go slow especially drying!
    Back to the full-time grind.

    Re: Time it takes to do a rinseless wash?

    I'm new to rinseless washing, my first rinseless took approximately 30 mins on Lexus RX330. Are you using Meguiar's D114? I saw your post on D156.
    If you are not using D114 you should give it a try.

    About 35 minutes including detail mist afterwards. 1hr if I do my tires, wheels and wheel well areas. I'm OCD so I do the 1hr gig most every time. Time is about the same for me on either our van or my sedan.

    Re: Time it takes to do a rinseless wash?

    Depends on the size and condition of the vehicle.
    Also depends on the contaminants on the surface panels and how much attention you spend on removing the contaminants.

    If you have a hose, it makes sense to blast off loose dirt with water, then use the rinseless wash approach.
    This alone can save you lots of time in the endgame.

    If no access for an initial rinse, then the process is all about towel management.
    Constantly flipping the towel, and switching to new towels, to avoid scratching the surface panels with the dust and dirt present on the car.

    I've got D114, Uber Rinseless and M37 Rinseless Wash & Wax. Haven't used any of them yet! Gonna try one of the above on Monday.

    About 35 min on average. 20 if I'm in a hurry.

    Having said that, I don't like to rush. Detailing time is my 'quiet time.' Therefore - 4 hrs inside and out.

    Thank goodness someone else suggested it. I'm like a broken record regarding D114 at this point...

    Awesome! You will enjoy both. The fun starts when you experiment with the mixtures. People like us aren't 'for profit', so we get to play around a bit without feeling too guilty on being wasteful. haha

    Re: Time it takes to do a rinseless wash?

    I take my time, use the GD method and use multiple towels for drying, wheels and door jambs, and spray LSP usually around 2 hours. I know in slow but like above, it's kind of my personal quiet time.

    Re: Time it takes to do a rinseless wash?

    Paint and door jambs only - about 30 min, if doing wheels add about 20-25 min more. Than I usually hit it with a spray wax or sealant.
