CarPro Ech2O QD, QD w/Reload, Rinseless Wash, with video

I still can't wrap my RWW/WW towels.....and cleanliness

For example, I do USE the cheap Costco yellows for door jambs, door sill threshold, etc.
I just hand wash these not to mix them, and the tiny specs of XYAXDF def. not coming out...

Granted these are short nap towels, but the *ideology* is all the same...

I don't have a issue using these new mf with speks....on my door jambs and such.
I just can't wrap my head on how you guys do the same on ~paint~

Why not give it a try. How do you know your wash mitt is clean every time it touches paint?

I was pretty hesitant to make the switch also. To give you an idea of how soft the paint is on this vehicle I corrected it with Menz SF3500 and a white pad. I swear just looking at the car in a way it doesn't like will scratch it haha.

Top notch MF towels (nothing from a big box store will cut it), high lubricity product combined with vigilant technique and I've maintained swirl free washes on this vehicle for over a year, and customer vehicles.

I've played with this after a high pw rinse/strong foam with just a film left on the car. Using Eagle Edgeless or MFM, there is better comfort factor, but that's just because I am wiping film and not dirt....

And deferring back to the OR, where I mainly use this with short nap on BS areas, I do think some level of micro macro miniscule minute particulate has got to be in the longer nap MF ....

OT, Matt, have you coated any of your rides/panels.
I will say this. I have similar soft paint of one of mine, and coatings for me, have minimized/mitigated the marring you get just by thinking about the paint . You know, even after the finest of post polishing, removing polish will just enstill mico-marring.

Tonight was a perfect example. Dropped friend off and he leaned on the rear passenger door with one hand when he got out...Needless to say, got home, got the lights out, panel looks good Without the coating, it would have been a different story.

It's not the final answer as coatings will mar, etc, but for me, it has made a HUGE difference when it comes to soft paints..

What kind of car is that?

Yup this car has WG Uber Ceramic, applied about 14 months ago. The coating does help. Same washing techniques have been used for non-coated vehicles also.

"bad" washing techniques will still scratch a coated vehicle, as I learned when I was experimenting with how far I could push a rinseless wash.
