2003 Chevy Silverado - DP 4n1 Rinseless Walkthrough - EHUTH1

[ehuth1]

Well fellow geeks I decide to put together a quick walkthrough of a normal wash-n-vac on any given day for me. Try to follow along I'll do the best I can. I didn't develop this method, I actually took alittle of Justin's style and Bradley's style and through them together. It works and it's quick !

First things first get rid of the bugs and tar. I acccomplished this with the pressure washer and some citrus degreaser. I don't have any pics on this, but everyone knows how to get this done. I also degreased the wells, wheels, and tires and got them ready to dress. Now comes the rinseless methodology.

Before Pictures

Before starting the detail lay down all aerosol products on their given path. Spray tires, wells, trim, and allow time to cure/dry.

Now while all that is drying go ahead and get the mass majority of the inside down. Vac, Wipe Down Dust, Clean Inside Windows.

Next lets move on out to the exterior and get to rinseless washing! Start where ever you like, but I like to get the roof, hood, front, and rear done first.

Before Pass with Bone Sponge

Door and Fender Done

Complete Side done. It may take you a few trys, but this should take about 5 minutes.

So once your moving along pretty good you will be shocked at the time you shave off your details. Rinseless washing saves me a lot of water for pressure washer, so most that are mobile can truly benefit from that! Dont' get scared when your bucket turns in a black hole the dirt from the vehicle is doing this and the formula for the rinseless is still there.

Here are some more shots of the finished Silverado.

Here is a 50/50 shot of the hood during the process. No marring what so ever using the gritguard (a must)!!

Oh and here are the mats after cleaning and freshly coated with DG265

Hope everyone enjoyed the walkthrough.

Nice work Eric, and write-up.

I had to do a rinseless wash today on a the '65 mustang today.

Thanks Ed. With the small heat wave coming back through, rinseless is the way to go!

Great job. Those flakes sure don't hide. That's excellent!

nice work, i love rinseless. Its the type of product that is kinda scary at first but once you use it a few times its really easy and does a good job.

Thanks for the info

I still don't know how you guys do it. Even after a few attempts it still takes me longer to do a rinseless wash than it does to just hose the car down and do it the old fashioned way.

I found as I got more comfortable rinseless washing my times improved. I was pretty quick conventional washing. I took me almost a year before my rinseless times were faster than my conventional washing times.

Excellent write up!
I bet a lot more will be going to a rinseless wash after this. I simply love it!

Oh yeah, the details nice too!

OMG he didn't use the "two bucket" method!!! Somebody quick, shoot him!!! Oh wait, i didn't see any scratching or swirling.... i guess maybe the 2BM isn't the best. Ha ha!
Love the detail, can't wait to get my ONR!!!

I enjoyed the write up, I've used ONR a few times and the first time I used it I was a bit scared but after you use it a few times you get the hang of it.

I enjoyed your write up, very nice. The vehicle looks great, well done.

Thank you for taking the time to share this information.
