Anybody ever heard of a product called the Rinse Kit? I was at my local bike shop because I'm planning on changing up my mountain bikes drivetrain this summer, and they had a product that could hold 2 gallons of water and came with a standard garden sprayer (shower, jet, mist, etc) and requires no battery or pumping.

I feel like it'd be perfect for how I prefer to wash my cars. I do rinseless now that I live in an apartment, but I hate washing my wheels unless I have flowing water. I feel like 2 gallons is plenty for my wheels. It would also be cool to just fill it with distilled water and rinse my car instead of drying it. I have an Amazon gift card from my birthday because with no garage, I have no car products I wanted so I was thinking of buying this.

Any thoughts? I'm not going to post a link per AG's rules, but if you search for Rinse Kit you should find one. They're around $80.
 
Looks like you have to use a hose outlet to fill it and pressurize it so you'd need some kind of pressurized tank with distilled water if you want to use distilled water. Or you can buy a garden pump sprayer that costs a fraction of that. Looks interesting though.

Garden pump sprayer with distilled water could work, but it's easier to just dry normally with a rinseless wash. The garden pump sprayer isn't high enough output for washing wheels traditionally.

This works great. Off to use it again today :)
 
Pdqgp, any chance you could shoot a quick video of that bad boy in action? I'd really like to get an idea of how much pressure its putting out with the new hose and wand you have on there.

I've been meaning to do so. Sorry I've not done so yet. It puts out enough that the fan spray will easily reach the full roof of our minivan or the cover the hood of the car from one side. Not quite the pressure of a garden hose on stream or full but about the same as a nozzle on fan spray. Works well for removing loostening dirt.

My technique is to lightly soak the whole vehicle and then go back and try and sweep as much dust and loose dirt off. I push it off in a fan pattern back and forth for the hood-roof-trunk. For the sides, I start up top and sweep back and forth and move down once the water starts to bead and roll down taking dirt and dust with it.

Not sure if the above makes sense description wise. Hope so. I'll try and get a video later this week or this coming weekend. I'll be cleaning her up on Thursday in prep for an event on Friday. Will try then.

It's definitely enough to wash wheels. When mine are REALLY dirty I'll actually whip out Sonax or like which I'd normally use with a traditional garden hose method and use it as this unit will easily blast/rinse off the product. In fact I did that on her this weekend.

Sounds silly but it's actually really nice not having to bust out a garden hose to wash a car. When it's really warm out however it is nice to be a kid again and play in the water though.
 
If you have the time, I'd like to know the hose and gun you're using too. Thanks.

I purchased a 10 gallon tank w/ pump and need to hook up something better than the garden sprayer that came with it.

Yeah I'd love to get away with only doing rinseless washes on my truck just cause of how big it is. But it has stupid soft jet black paint that still gets swirls with a pressure washer, double foam cannon soak, two bucket wash.

But I'm thinking this would be great to have for next winter.
