Turned out pretty good. This is more than 2 weeks of driving and the roads have been salted pretty much every day. The temps today are 20F but have been in the single digits most of those two weeks.
There was a couple spots that were streaked but nothing a MF with some more D114 on it didnt take care of.

I used Meguiar's RFEW D114 at 1oz per gallon
Pre-soaked with D114 mixed to WW specs (cant remember off hand, I mixed it a WHILE ago)
2.5 gallons of water with a Grit Guard
Microfiber wash mitt
Waffle Weave towel

I like it, even for the wheels (I poured the water into my wheel bucket and used my regular arsenal of brushes but NO wheel cleaner just D114 as I did on the paint)

The windows are streaked cause I hadnt dried them fully yet. Here is a nice 50/50








The back wheel has some caked on burnt in problem with it...needs some IronX or better wheel cleaner maybe come spring. They are my winter wheels and tires anyway






Over all I would give the RFEW and rinseless washing in general a 7.5 out of 10. It doesnt get things deep cleaned (specially in the condition my car was) but it sure does clean pretty well considering that. I didnt feel any grit while washing despite all the salt on the car. I decided I would try to do this with out PW first 1. Cause my hose was frozen, and 2. To see how well the D114 could do without it. :props::props::props: :dblthumb2:
 
I use ONR with red sponge or Ultima as waterless and get cars squeaky clean. It's nice not to have a soaking wet garage floor.
 
Nice and less slippery! I was going to try the ONR today, maybe next time I will. I love ONR also. I would like to get myself one of those red sponges too.
 
Looks like the same exact product as the Lake Country Blue Sponge.....
 
But it is a far superior foam. The red sponge was developed by someone from Optimum named Yvan. Very knowledgeable guy.

Curious why you only give it 7.5/10 and saying it doesn't deep clean. Did your drying towels still come out soiled somehow?
 
No, the parts that got cleaned were clean. Im saying the cracks and crevices were still dirty...only a rinse with a hose can get in there. (moldings, panel seams, etc.) Wheels too, they were clean but using water and a wheel cleaner does a much better job, Ill have to see when the tires dry but I would bet they are only 90% clean or so. It did a fabulous job of cleaning the car (specially with all that salt). Im sure with a little more practice I will start really liking RW more.
