Rinseless wash question

I agree the multiple MF's logically make the most sense. I don't even use grit guards and multiple buckets when I do a contact wash. I just rinse the mitt in between panels. I know a lot of people use the BRS with other RW's so if they don't have the same 'water ionic' feature (I googled it lol) how can it still work ?

Using a Grit Guard in both the wash AND rinse bucket is proven to be the most safe method for washing your vehicle. The Grit Guard acts as a wash board for your wash Mitt and keeps the dirt away from the mitt when continually going back in during the wash process. No matter how careful you are, dirt is still circulating around, the Grit Guard AND 2nd rinse bucket ensures a much safer wash.

Give it a try

I don't do RWs but I do use a fresh mitt per panel. I never had the need to have buckets or grit guards.
 
2nd bucket is not required but....where are you throwing the used MF towels?

Ok, I crawl back under my rock now!

I use mitts with a traditonal wash and I usually put my used mitts in my utility sink (I wash inside my garage)

I'm not disagreeing with their directions but hear me out. Yes the dirt goes to the bottom, ofcoarse, but even so a grit guard is needed as well as a second rinse bucket with a grit guard for that bucket for the safest wash. This applies to using the grout sponge but when using multiple mf towels in the wash solution bucket, no grit guard or 2nd bucket is needed because your pulling a fresh and clean mf towel out everytime and putting aside when its dirty.

If you're using a single wash mitt or sponge I think it's absurd not to use two buckets unless your car is already pretty clean. I know all the old ONR marketing talks about flocculation and pulling dirt to the bottom but who is really rinsing their wash mitt/sponge so gently you're not kicking up dirt? My hot take is those who use a single bucket + BRS are usually staying on top of washing their car so there's never a ton of dirt floating around to begin with, and it has less to do with the magical properties of ONR (not that ONR isn't great!). Change my mind :)

Also I think if we're getting nitty-gritty you can't look at this stuff in isolation and just as important is what you're doing before you touch the car (rinse/pre-soak/touch-free tunnel/worx hydroshot/praying to the car wash gods)
 
The only way i do rinseless washes is with 12 microfiber towels. if truck is to dirty go to car wash use pressure washer setting and rinse off first. tried the rag co. black sponge thought i could save on laundry. I didn't like it had 1 bucket with solution 1 bucket with water and grit guard &washboard. I also used rinseless solution pre spray. I saw fine scratches that i didn't see after i did it with the towels. so i will stick with having more laundry to do.
 
Yeah I'd NEVER use a single bucket when using my Aqua aponge....EVER! Single bucket ONLY when doing the GD method, period

I’m with you - after using ONR, I was never really convinced the dirt in the bucket was doing anything different compared to any other wash solution I’ve used.

ONR was fine, but I stopped using it after it seemed like dirt/grunge was sticking to the car more than before I was using it. I still use it for cleaning underhood plastics at work as well as doing the hard floors at home. This is the “classic” formula that was all the rage when I joined, not the updated formula.

The very 1st time I did a rinseless wash I did it with 1 bucket w/grit guard and a wash mitt as per the directions.

Midway through the vehicle I wound up dumping my 5 gallon bucket because the whole thing looked like mud and I was like “hell nah that can’t be safe”.lol.

Not sure what's going on there because I've been doing RW/WW's for almost 9 yrs now and my paint NEVER EVER looked dirty after using either type of product. The only thing I can think of is you don't have a good base of protection laid down but still, clean is clean!

Sorry, I might not have been clear what I meant - I meant the car would get dirtier sooner after an ONR wash than a different wash, not that washing with ONR would make it dirty!

Kinda like how after using Wolfgang Uber Rinseless the car accumulates dust faster than any of the other RW’s I’ve used.

I guess I never noticed this. I'll have to try skipping it as a drying aid and see if I see a difference.
