Rinseless Wash Thoughts -- Feedback Wanted

Rinseless wash is pretty cheap. I just dump it down the driveway. I really couldn't see saving it. Just me.

I mix up a gallon when I do rinseless and I do save the leftover to use on my wheels on my next wash.

I've been doing this as well, I take a clean mf towel and place it over the opening of a large cat liter jub (cleaned out ofcoarse) and pour the leftover solution in there. I use it as pre-soak, might as well because like others have said its clean and even if it is, the various methods of filtering will get any dirt out.

This is a good thread because it helps get the word out, this is way of being green without being bashed over the head being told to do so!

I think you're missing my intent here a little bit. I agree that it's cheap but I'm not doing this to save money. At the same time I never enjoy dumping out perfectly good product either!

I am asking if anyone thinks this is good practice in terms of providing more wash solution to the surface to give it more lubricity. I have jet black paint, and it's very soft paint, so I do as much as I can to not harm it. Or I wanted to see if people would say that this step is indeed useless and doesn't provide any additional help.

So the real question would be,

"Does spraying solution (old or new) on the panel to be cleaned prior to doing a rinseless help provide lubrication thus help minimizing potential marring?"

Thanks for reading!

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

Its not about it being cheap its about it still being good, a little filtering, if needed and your good to go, that's it. You can use it over again or as clay lube, whatever, think about it guys.

How about you do this instead of using the whole filter thing..when I need to refill my spray bottles that I keep in my trunk or pre soak bottle when I create the 2 gallon mix I fill up a bottle/save ONR solution before washing the car, so its fresh no dirt, no need to filter. Since I never use the full 2 gallons for a wash, and then use the little of the rest of the left over for wheels.

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.
