Does anyone pressure wash a car before using a rinseless wash method?

I never use a pressure washer on any of my vehicles. I've had the discussion before with others telling me if you are worried about the high pressure, stand further back. If that is the case, I might as well just use garden hose pressure and a regular nozzle which is what I do.

As for waterless/rinseless products, I have never used them and do not care to. I just can't see doing anything till all loose dirt is removed. My choice!
 
Its hard enough convincing detailers that rinseless washing is safe, let alone a potential customer who doesn't know any better. Whatever method you use, its got to be safe and economically beneficial to both parties.
 
I have trouble explaining how a rinseless wash works to customers or friends. I mentioned to one friend that you can wash a car without a hose. He said , "That sounds too good to be true"

If you are gonna use a waterless method, why not use a waterless product? Seems to me it's will be safer than using a rinseless this way.

#1 reason is I have alot of ONR and no WW product
2. I talked to someone about using it who has been using it for quite a while in a WW kind of way and saw results while there. He is very respected here so I figured I would at least try it
3. It works for me.

Do I need anymore reasons? lol
 
For me it really depends on condition. If it's noticably dirty it gets a rinse, if it's clean enough to not worry about grit then I go straight to ONR. To each their own. As for selling it to customers, it's about selling yourself as the expert. Do you dictate your paint correction process or how you clean the carpets?

As long as you are comfortable with the risks then it's all good. You can also increase the amount of product used when the car is really dirty.
