Just saw a video he posted on youtube regarding a simialr method to car washing but not using a rinseless wash solution. I really like thus method. lower water use, no 2 buckets, no grit guards, no reintroducing dirty media into soapy water, seems like a time saver compared to 2 bucket method.

What does everybody else think???
 
Agreed. It's probably the safest conventional wash method.

The only issue is that by the time you are to the fourth fold of the MF towel there isn't much soap left on the towel.

:iagree:
 
I don't know why you guys keep attributing this method to Garry Dean. Just because it was invented before Youtube doesn't mean it wasn't invented. Bill D who is on Autopia Forums invented this method with wool mitts many years ago and posted about it on the other Autopia in June 2005: "I've eliminated my buckets altogether as I use the foam gun and just reach for new, clean mitts during the wash session."

That's not EXACTLY the GDWM, but pretty close. I think we call it that just because he coined the term and we have nothing else to distinguish it so easily from a regular 2 BM rinseless wash.

Howard Stern started calling himself "King of All Media" and Micheal Jackson started calling himself "King of Pop", both just stuck. Bill D should have coined the term "Bill D Wash Method" (BDWM).

Although according to Wikipedia:

BDWM may refer to:

-BDWM BBS, a bulletin board run by Peking University in China

-BDWM Transport AG, a Swiss railway and transportation company

Only thing I could find for GDWM was God's Daily Word Ministries.

His main idea was not to re-wipe with wash media that's already touched the car. Once it was dirty enough to rinse, he threw it in a bucket and grabbed a new one.

Bill doesn't have an ego that requires that.
 
Sure that method is good if you like washing a bunch of towels often, which I don't...
 
Regardless you "invented" it, I think it's more logical than grit guards which, ime, don't work 100% as hoped too.
 
I wonder if you. Could use onr for this method

I have been doing something similar with about 4-6 wash mitts before my Grit Guard come in.
Works really well.

It's a good method and I know he didn't invent the idea but I guess it's what stuck now lol. It's really hard for me to watch his videos though, they're so chocked full of hype and plugs it hurts.

I use a modified version of "his" method for my ONR washes.

Washing a bunch of towels often would work for me if it would
significantly reduce marring/swirling. Just saying.

THIS EXACTLY- it's about preserving the paint, not washing the towles. You gotta do laundry regardless so what's a few more towels? Especially when you can save time, water, money etc?
 
There is no one way to wash a car what ever works for you. I have used his method on cars that are not very dirty but there is no way if the cars is covered in dirt this method would ever work. It works great for maintenance washes. The 2 bucket method and foaming has worked great for me for a long time.

yes u can . it's simple . just don't use the same side more than once per section . u flip it. , fold it whatever and when all side are dirty or been used u toss it aside and grab another . it's how I do all my waterless/rinseless washes now , I'll prob do the same with traditional washes now too, but i like using mitts for these , need more . there are videos out there on utube to view .
 
anytime you foam the entire car, and rinse it off with a pressure washer, you have eliminated MOST of the grime that could have potentially scratched/marred your paint. so a WW, 2BM, RW, GDWM, will most likely equal the same amount

just my .02

The same argument would apply on an extremely dirty car with the 2 bucket method. Bottom line, if you need to break out the pressure washer/foam lance either method will work.

Gary Dean did not innovate anything. I dont even know why he created the video on Youtube. Perhaps some new kid that wants to learn how to detail a car might find his methods appealing but nonetheless it still takes a long time which in my opinion if you spent that long to wash a car then you already lost money.
