Cleaning Tires Without Water

[Pockets@PoorboysWorld]

How bout this rwright?

These were also done without harsh acids or degrease just Spray and Wipe and Bold and Bright with a quick scrub, last one was B n B Gel

Dirty

Clean

Dirty

Great to do if you are hitting the car up with Spray and Wipe and the tires look like crap you can do this very simply. rops:

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?

I'm with Richard here. Those tires don't look all that dirty to begin with. If you get a tire thats just nasty there is no way this spray and wipe method will get them totally clean. It may work fine for production jobs where you just are doing a quick wash, but not for anything more than that.

I still stand by the fact that you can't get a vehicle totally clean without a hose, it's just not possible. That said props to you for obviously running a successful business.

I haven't gone off roading or anything with these tires but I assure you they were filthy.... hadn't been clean in months and I drive it daily a minimum of 30 to 40 miles a day.

So do you detail the interiors with a hose and bucket too lol?!?!?!!? Think about that one for a minute buddy:dblthumb2:

Wonder if they have a drywash solution for showering and doing laundry? That could really cut down your water bill! :laughing:



So then it's not a drywash, it's a rinseless wash. If that's the case then this is nothing new to boast about, Optimum Opti-Clean, Ultima Waterless Wash, DP Rinseless Wash, etc....

In the military people do use baby wipes when in the field..... not that that has anything to do with this discussion.

DRYWASH is what I was told it was called 13 years ago and have called it that ever since. Others call it drywash as well - if you want to call it a waterless wash that is fine..... nothing to pick apart lol. My name is Anthony - some people call me Tony even though I never go by Tony, but do I stop them and tell them not to call me Tony .... no lol, NOT A BIG DEAL!

Plus I am not boasting anything about this system...... once again, I am trying to help those that want to learn another method - if you only want to try and be negative about the whole thing why don't you either try for yourself. If you have tried it and hate it... then post :dblthumb2:

It is a very different approach, I will give him that. From my understanding and hopefully B&B will chime in and correct me, this "drywash" approach is mostly used in the aviation field where the paint is known to be harder than automotive paint and also where waste water is a lot more controlled.

In aviation I use aviation approved chemicals that are the same method but completely different ingredients wise. Yes aviation has harder paint and the products I use on aircraft never touch cars...... The product I use is made for specifically automotive.

Pretty sure I can pee on the center caps and achieve the same thing. I would like to see this method used on a soiled tire. I'm not saying his method doesn't work for him, but this post really sums it up:

That's classy buddy :dblthumb2:

When I was in the Marine Corps we did in fact use baby wipes when in the field. They were good for removing light grime. It's funny though that when you use water and soap how much cleaner you became.

I'm not being negative, maybe you should go back and actually read my posts chief. I'm trying to find more information about this whole process. In fact, ask SeaJay for a copy of our conversation about this CG Eco Smart system. What I have noticed is that you are very sensitive about this subject. Most people have not accepted this practice because it is outside the "norm". You have introduced a method and most are skeptical because of the approach it was introduced, calling it drywash. Now that I know it's a rinseless wash system like other products on the market, I'm interested in seeing it work first hand.

In aviation I use aviation approved chemicals that are the same method but completely different ingredients wise. Yes aviation has harder paint and the products I use on aircraft never touch cars...... The product I use is made for specifically automotive.

Is that why you asked Mike about a product called Nuvite C (correct me if I'm wrong)? Because you used it on aircraft and as a last resort used it on a customer's car.

That's classy buddy :dblthumb2:

I'm not trying to be classy buddy. In your pictures the wheels and plastic caps didn't appear that dirty, so naturally I for one wasn't impressed. The pictures that Pockets provided showed dirtier wheels/tires, which is what people look for. Pictures are worth 1,000 words.

 

[john b]

what is the name of the products used?

LOL - you're killing me man....... I was referring to the drywash chemicals that are used on the aircraft.... they are much harsher than anything I would want to put on a car. Excuse me for forgetting about the aircraft compound that yes I use on headlights and one time on a window. You are on top of things man - good job:dblthumb2:

Well just went outside - why - I don't know..... got better things to do then to sit here and try to prove anything to any one, BUT here are some pics from just a minute ago..............and no I did not get detail oriented here just showing some quick before and afters. SO BEFORE PICKING THIS APART TOO - UNDERSTAND THAT I DID NOT GET DETAIL ORIENTED HERE , JUST A QUICK SHOWING ON A FILTHIER TIRE FOR YOU.


Before - filthy enough?

This is a foaming glass cleaner.......

Caked on brake dust gone!!!

Degreased tire. Not Dressed.

 

[rwright]

See, that wasn't too difficult now was it? :laughing: I'm only kidding. Just give it some time, maybe more people will adjust to your method. Now go enjoy your new baby! :xyxthumbs:

Yeah this is my practice on car - I let it get filthy as can be until I have a new product to try out....... When my steamer comes in I am going to town on the interior.... it is just as trashed. Purposely don't clean this one.

Cause Ive never used a steamer and want to practice on this before anyone elses ride

Sure it is... lol... If your like me that is your wifes car because she is too busy to let me get my hands on her car... lol... and she refuses to drive my Land Rover because "it is too big and noisy and I don't like the fact that with those huge tires on it I think something is broken because it vibrates so much when I drive" personally I think it is because she is afraid she can't drive it as fast as she can her Saturn Ion...

Nice - this is my betterhalfs car lol...... but she has been begging me for months to detail it and I keep telling her no, cause I use it for new products. She is actually very happy that I will be buying the steamer cause she knows that at least the interior will look great for once lol!

I do use compressed air on the interior and sometimes even a tornador which is almost a hose. How about you think about what you are saying for a minute BUDDY. You are trying to tell me that spraying and wiping a tire with a mf towel gets them clean. BS. It might knock the dirt off, but I can assure you they aren't clean. If I actually cleaned those tires after you" cleaned" them, all sorts of dirt and grime would come off of them.

Again this is fine for your particular style of "detailing" but don't pee on my back and tell me its raining. Im not a moron and don't expect people to try and convince me of things that only a moron would believe.

My goodness guys! This isn't a pissing contest to prove who is the better detailer! This is a forum to share techniques that work for you so others may learn. If one person is a production detailer and the other is a non-production detailer or just an avid enthusiast etc that is fine we all have our techniques that we use and some may be a bit different than others but the point is not to be a jerk or harsh or critical of someone else's technique if you don't agree with it! This is why I don't really like forums I will keep coming here because it seems that the majority of people here tend to just not reply if they have a huge issue with someone else's techniques or they say their point and that is the end.

Please guys be civil as we are all adults and business men. Lets not be rude or downright mean because that is what leads to forums being a turn off and not a fun place to be enlightened and have conversations.
:thankyousign:

Completely agree with you rove! Anthony's techniques are different yes, and he's working outside the "norm" which brings up a lot of questions. But obviously this system works well for him and his clients. As Mike has said 1,000 times "Match your services to your customer". Seems to me that Anthony has done a pretty good job of this. Yes, a hose and water, scrubing etc, may make a tire cleaner than a degreaser and some wiping. But if this process makes his customers happy then that's what he is going to do. It allows him to make his money. Again he's doing production work, not high end detailing. I'm sure that if he was being paid to do a show car he'd do thing differently. But he works on daily drivers and sells himself and his process to his customers and seems to do a pretty good job doing it.

Everyone needs to take a deep breath and do as your momma told you when you were a kid "If you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all". Just my 2 cents here.

This forum is meant to help people and discuss new techniques. Just because something works for 1 person and may not for another doesn't mean that 1 person is wrong because they do something different. Let's put our differences aside and just get a long people!

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 understand that it's a public forum and people are going to express there opinions. Just think that sometimes people get out of hand when it comes to criticism. This is just my opinion. I'm in no way attempting to start an argument.

No worries, despite popular opinion I'm not trying to start one either. rops:
