Uww+ ratio for qd

So no buffing it off right? Sorry I am asking so many times, I just cant rap my head around that it will dry on the car without any residue? Because its got to evaporate and leave something behind it seems =)

I'm in So Cal also and don't have to really buff UWW+ off. Most of the streaks (if any) seem to just fade away into the paint with no issues.

To use as a waterless wash, spray the surface and wipe with a microfiber towel using the roll method. Use a second towel for a final buff. What's left behind is some glossing agents that leaves that just waxed look.

UWW and ONR both soften the water. Idk why people feel like it is so important to use distilled water.

If you live in an area that has hard water, I'm sure using distilled water would help.

That's true. That's why I add a little to my conventional shampoo bucket. That being said, the first gallon of QD/WW I mixed up with tap, since then I've used distilled and unless it's my imagination, I can actually feel the difference.

cool, but i have stupid hard water where i live, nothing will "soften" it. Many people face this too, thus distilled water is the option

Since your water is so hard, have you considered getting a water softener? When I lived in Texas, I wouldn't think of not having a water softener. You put a ton of soap in the washing machine and it wouldn't suds.

No, not only you.

My last two washings (one UWW+ waterless, second with ONR Garry Dean method) were done via tap. Both times I've experienced minor traces of calcium. Initially I thought they were drywall dust since it's an open garage. Closer inspection revealed otherwise.

I admit I did so out of laziness, plus I hate going to the supermarket.

Also, the same can be said after each trip from coin-op.

Northern Ca's water is anything but soft.

How much do you guys charge for a waterless wash and how long does it take you?

I mix all chemicals with distilled and use distilled for rinseless. Use 3 gallons. Bought more today at Walmart for 88 cents a gallon. Don't understand the debate on this. It's 88 cents. Why not?

I am washing my own car though. Pro's probably use DI or other option in bulk.

Wow! This thread reminded me to never assume anything!!!

I pay $4.50 for 6 gallons of distilled water! I think the paint on anything is worth that!
