DO you save your rinseless wash solution?

So, curious. I use the Gary Dean method to rineseless wash my car. So no contaminated stuff ever hits the solution. I usually will use the same bucket of water for a good 2-3 washes. Sometimes i'll even just throw it in pump sprayer and use it as a presoak for the next wash. Does anyone else do this? Am I nuts? I've never seen any issues and always use DI or distilled water(whatever gets delivered during the week). Thoughts? Anyone else do this?
 
I have a spray bottle of ONR that sits for a long long time between refillings, and the only thing "bad" that happens to it is the color fades.
 
Since I'm a pennypinching tightwad...
You bet I do!

I save the leftover solution as well. I've also deleted using a bucket. I use a 1 gallon pump sprayer. I first presoak the car, then I spray/saturate the mf towels as I need them.
 
This is why I love AGO! why the H have I not started doing this
 
What is the shelf life of most rinseless solutions? Curious if it loses any of its particle encapsulating strength.

The loss in color plays tricks with the mind. You think you're wiping water when its clear. :)

I've had a premixed gallon of UWW+ for a year and 9 months on my shelf and its just like new. I used distilled water and would always suggest one do when letting something sit that long though.
 
When I use ONR, I save it.

When I use Blackfire (forgot the product name), it has this odor (which I don't like it) if I leave it for a couple of weeks.
 
I do the same. Distilled water and Wolfgang Uber and save what's left. I use pretty much 2.5 gals to wash the Audi and 3 gals to wash the van.
 
I do the same as well usually the left overs go In the pump sprayer
