Rinseless Wash: 2006 Mustang

[justin_murphy]

Many of you will remember this car. I was detailed about 4 weeks ago with my Optimum Poli-Seal and Polish combo. There was a break in the weather today, and the customer wanted it cleaned up before the holidays. It was pretty clean so I decided to go rinseless on this wash.

Here is some pics with the process....

Equipment layed out.....

My hired help. He gets un-Godly money for the hour!

Before shots....

Half of the hood done then dried....

The ShMitt doing really well with rinseless duty. Released all particled very well.

New tool for brake jobs!!!

Never say that 4-in-1 will not clean brake dust!!!

Time for tires....

This bottle was full......about 13 cars ago! DP's High Gloss Tire gel is awesome. A little goes along way. Most of the tires were SUVs too.

All finished up. I detected no marring or scratching. I simply love this. I was done in an hour. Cut that in half it I was not taking pictures.

wow as usual, justin!!!
i must say though, waterless stuff scares me...you think it is safe for use by one of us?

 

[justin_murphy]

Especially one of us. We keep our vehicles extremely clean anyways. It really really works. You don't even have to pull it out in the sun!!!

Thanks. He takes after his mother!!!
Actually, he looks just like I did at that age.

I've only used DPs 4-in-1. I also use it as a clay lube and quick detailer. You can use it to also pretreat tougher areas.

A really nice product.

Justin, how has the poli-seal been holding up? I'm assumining it's from the DP's 4:1 lubrication, but why was they're no beading at all on the hood?

You should get the owner's approval to take off that dealer sticker on the rear trunk deck !

Any rinseless wash will sheet. That's what you are seeing on the hood. I see this car every morning and it's holding up well. Even being cut with the polish. I'm guessing 2 months easily.

I use the DP 4-in-1 Rinseless Wash as well on both my vehicles. I was worried about using it with the ShMitt at first. But it works great with the ShMitt. I use the 4-in-1 as a QD as well. I use the QD to spray the lower panels to kinda pre-treat, because it's usually dirtier there, before going over with the wash. 4-in-1 wash is all I use to clean my vehicles. As some of you know, I can't use a hose where I live. When it gets filthy this winter, I'll just go to the DIY carwash and spray down the panels. Since I wash both vehicles every weekend, they don't get very dirty. I use the 2 bucket method. It's so easy to knock off debris from the ShMitt, compared to the MF mitts that I used before. Now I just use the mitts to wash the wheels and bumpers.
Here's a pic after 4-in-1 wash and CK QS wipedown. Thanks for the great review on the DP 4-in-1, Justin!!

I just used it today, and have to say it's works well. The car was not that dirty, I always forget to take b4 and afters. I received the DP 4-1 as a free gift last order (thanks Meghan) and just got around to trying it out. I used a Cobra Super-Plush MF since I wanted to follow the direction closely the first time. I will try the ShMitt soon. Thanks for the recent review, it peaked my interest in the product.

How well does 4in 1 as a QD work? Does it cleaned pretty well since it should be pretty lubricated?

 

[justin_murphy]

Make sure you try it as a QD too. It really does well! I used it on my truck as one and was amazed by the cleaning ability.

One other time saving technique that I'm using when going rinseless is to do the door jams WHILE you are doing the doors. Then you dry and you're done!

Where did you find new foam wheel, brake tool ? Do you like it ? Maybe Max can get some.

 

[justin_murphy]

I found it a my local Dollar Store........for a dollar!

It's intended to clean bottles and cups at the house but man, it cleans the heck out of wheels!!!

 

[sparkie]

Great job Justin. DP 4n1, do you use DI water for the 4 parts?
Your wheel tool looks almost like my Power Puff!
