So I finally did my first rinseless wash yesterday. I can't believe how much I liked it. Usually i use the pressure washer or waterless wash.. I used Mckee's 37 rinseless wash and gloss. Mixed up 2 gallons of rinseless and 32oz of spray detailer. I used the detailer to pre-treat the panels, then i did the 1 bucket, don't put the used towel back into the mix method.


1, I like how it gets the panel much cleaner then just a waterless because you can move the wet towel back and forth to really loosen up the dirt

2, I like how you have the control to do 1 panel at a time and the fact that it works on trim as well.

3, Loved the way my car looked after, Here's a pic of the hood

Rinseless is the way to go I'll try Uber next time
 
- no water spotting
- no standing water
- no or little water runoff
- can work in little sections, even in the sun
- can wash and protect all in one step
- can use it as a qd, clay lube, interior plastic cleaner, leather cleaner, glass cleaner
- can save product till next time
- can clean in sections like you mentioned...can clean half the car now, half later if I need to
- dont need expensive PW and tons of water
- dont need electricity
- can clean the car anywhere, indoor, outdoor, holiday, parking garage, in the summer with high sun or winter at low temps
- faster clean...

yep rinseless products do have its advantages over traditional soap.
 
I'm definitely keen on the rinseless washing as well. This is my go to washing method in the winter around here, and I do it at least once per month or more in the summer time as well. I just purchased 16 oz of McKee's N914, and I'm looking forward to trying this. However, I have been a huge (bigley!) WH Uber fan since I tried the prototype. Everyone has praised N-914, so I'm excited to see it in action.
 
I, too, love the rinseless wash. Even did one in my garage this winter. Only water on the floor was from the wheels.
 
Count me as a convert too!

My favorites: 1. Time saved on setup/tear down
2. Not having to race to beat hard water from drying on the paint.

Only part that's slowing me down is how dirty the cars get during the winter since I don't have time to do them as often as needed (and there's no coin-op near by). Using the logic that a gentle rinseless wash has to be less abrasive than your standard beater brush automatic car wash, I have been impressed with how dirty it can be with no apparent added marring.
 
RWs/WWs:
So glad people come up with
this kind of stuff---I like things
that make life easier to cope with.

Ritalin sandwiches have a
similar affect.

I keep "joking" we should look into Prozac brownies for the lobby of our repair shop.

"Here, have a brownie. Now, about your X3..."
 
Only disadvantage is it wont do the wheels/wheel wells, tires and undercarriage like the old pressure washer.

Lately I've rinseless washed some pretty dirty wheels (nothing like caked on black brake dust though) and tires with McKee's Tire and Rubber Rejuvenator and McKee's N-914 (at 1:32). So far they've all come out great, but they were not fancy and expensive wheels - just stock wheels on daily drivers. On higher-dollar wheels I still do a rinseless wash if they're not filthy. So far all is working well, but using something like Meguiar's D143, soap and running water is still very effective. I concede that rinseless washing, from my experience so far, does not do a great job at cleaning the wheel barrels or the wheel well liner.
 
Fightnews, your first RW product is a VERY good one that I actually tried about a couple monthes ago as a sample, really impressive! I assume you too had a sample if your looking for your next one and I guess it depends upon your needs but here's a few that you just can't go wrong with, in no particular order:

-CarPro Ech2o

-McKee's N914

-Wolfgang Uber

All can be made up as a RW or WW that will most definitely impress you! If your looking to make a great clay lube, once again, can't go wrong with any of them but because N914 leaves nothing behind I would stick with the 1st or 3rd one for that.
