    I like the idea of a pump spray and pre-treating. That would make
    Me feel better about dragging a wash mit/cloth on a dry surface.

    Are all pump sprayers the same? I see cheap ones, and expensive ones.

    why don't you like the idea of using 10 towels? it is so much simpler and safer.

    I have the towels to perform, but don't want to wash them after every wash. Feel at that point, it's simpler to wash the old fashioned way. I may just try it and see how I feel.

    Thanks,
    Michael

    Don't you wash some towels after every wash anyway? What's 10 more towels? I wash like 20 towels after every Rinseless wash and it's still a small load.

    Of course I do wash the towels after they are used, but after I have a full load, but it's not after every normal wash I have 12 dirty towels. Might take me 10-12 normal washes before I need to do a load. I only use one drying towel for a normal wash.

    There is no need to wash towels after every car. Buy a couple/several dozen towels. Wash a car and place the used towels aside. After a x number of car washes, wash machine a load of towels.

    A few dozen towels is way cheaper than swirled-up paint.

    True that on the cheaper than swirls.

    Personal opinion, towels for washing don't need to be plush, plush, plush. For example, many waffle weave waterless wash/rinseless wash towels are far from plush, but when soaked in wash they glide across the paint surface. Same for low to medium "single soft" towels. Honestly, the high count GSM "double soft" towels some folks rave about are not merely over kill, they are just to heavy and thick when soaked in wash. QUALITY towels intended for rinseless wash work wonders. They and are not big-box-store cheap, but not crazy expensive either.

    I have a few dozen "waterless wash towels" and "single soft" towels that I use for "Garry Dean" method and ABSOLUTELY will buy more when needed. No way will I put a dirty towel (rinse bucket or not) into clean wash. (Well, with the exception of a true 2-bucket wash with a hose and a really deep pile wash media.)
