Cleaning Tires Without Water

This is a public forum. If you post something on a public forum you can't expect everyone to agree with you and blow sunshine up you butt. There is no reason that someone can't question another persons' methods if they feel they don't work well.

all I'm saying is don't post a thread like this and think you are revolutionizing the industry. You're wiping some dirt off a tire with a rag then dressing it to hide the remaining dirt...

I fully understand that. I feel the problem was that there were a few people that came down a bit to critical on B&B and that put his defenses up (no single person did it either there were a few)... Then things kind of progressed from there... No one is asking for a sunshine enema and I do agree that if you have questions on a method because they may concern you by all means ask about them. My frustration was about the pissing on the hub cap comment at first then the chauvinist mumblings of I can do it better... I don't doubt that you may be able to do it better given a diff circumstance, location, environment, etc but he is proud of what he does with what he has available to his surroundings...

I don't think that B&B was trying to say that he had the next big craze of revolution either he was sharing his process step by step for other people that may want to go into his type of detailing...

With that being said I don't think you were being harsh intentionally I think in the way that you said some things that may have been how it came out but not intended that way...

Alright guys - took some time off here for a few days to get away..... way to much time on this subject lol. I am in no means trying to revolutionize anything, this is how I have done it for many years and I'm sure that others have as well. This was a very draining discussion for me and couldn't believe the responses I got for posting a simple discussion. I decided to post these types of discussions because it is not the norm and it is a huge chunk of how I do business. I do everything from basic cleanings to full details as everyone else on here does. I never said I don't use water - that was assumed. I wash a vehicle before a full correction, use soap/water/brush method on RVs probably 90% of the time, and a bus everytime before a polish. This drywash method is what I use on my basic to mid level exteriors for Automotive/Painted Class A or C RVs/and Aircraft. Please understand that when someone types into google B & B Detailing, B & B, B & B Tennessee, or any similar search when looking for my business these forum discussions often pop up..... so of course it bothers me to get such negative reactions with opinions of how I am marring paint or doing a half-assed job. This is the business that is putting food in my childrens mouths so I don't appreciate the harshness of some of the comments. Although I may focus on servicing fleets of vehicles, large companies, and large scaled vehicles, this doesn't mean that I don't produce a quality product....... this is my niche in the industry (experience in many fields other than that of only automotive) - I may not have the exact procedures of many on here...... but I can assure you that I produce a quality turnaround with a great following in Middle Tennessee.
 
I have recently gone to rinseless and waterless washing and this is exactly how I clean the tires and wheels. I see nothing wrong with this system at all.

I hav used it a a couple dozen times and on my the first client of Tedrow's Detailing Services! He was more than thrilled with the result and even complimented the tires and wheels.
 
I have enjoyed reading your posts about your process. When I use ONR on my own vehicles, I also do something similar for the wheels/tires. On a street-driven vehicle that never goes off road or for more than a couple of weeks without a wash, it seems to work fine. Don't let a few naysayers get you down!

I was very skeptical about ONR when I first started reading about it. I finally ordered a small bottle and used it on a car that I was not too worried about the paint. It took a few times to get my process down, but I now use it the majority of the time. I still pull the hose out occasionally (maybe 1 out of every 4 times).

I tried to help, ha. But then someone (forget who and don't wanna dig to find out) said that they could pee on the rim and get the same outcome, ha. Thought that was not worth following through with a reply at that point.

Fact of the matter is...lots of people on here respect what you do, and do not doubt your judgement towards products and services. I for one think you do great work, and understand the difference between your levels of service. If I wasn't a detailer, and lived in Tennessee...I'd be calling up B&B, ha. :props:
 
I've seen his work in person and can more than vouch for the quality of work he does. Keep up the great work!:props:
 
Thanx guys - and thanx Tweeder.... totally forgot that you saw this product in action..... preciate speaking up on it :dblthumb2:

Thanks for the pictures Chris. That was quite a difference. Just curious, what did you scrub with? Just a towel or did you actually use a wheel brush or something similar? Also, what did the tires look like after using the Spray & Wipe, before dressing?

Used a DMT with Spray and wipe for the rims and used a Scrub Brush for the tires w/ B-n-B (Most people don't realize that B-n-B is a cleaner as well as a dressing :dblthumb2:)

Here's a pic of the scrub brush used for the tires

I appreciate your sharing your tips and techniques on our forum and you're tenacity to stay with a thread even when it starts to go negative.

Anytime you see a problem, for example comments that are uncalled for, or break forum rules, the best thing you can do is to use the Report button to report the offending person. If enough people do this it gets the Moderator's attention real fast and keeps you from having to entangle yourself needlessly.

We want all our forum members to feel like they can post without be harassed by someone else, this is a private forum, not a public forum.

If you're unsure how to "Report" a problem, see below and let this be your first course of action.


What to do when you see a problem on the forum

ANYTIME you see someone causing a problem,

don't interact with them on the forum

Instead, click on the Report Post button

That way a record is created and sent to all Moderators and Administrators and you stay out of the fray.
