Rinseless Washes - 2022

Cool idea/method. Maybe i will buy 2 gallons now lol. Feynlab and maybe absolute for the apparent slickness. Feynlab comes in 4 or 5 liters i believe but i disgress.

I’ve had Feynlab Pure in rotation for 3 years. Great cleaner but will degrade non coating LSP’s

Absolute is nice and this new version of ONR is passing up N-914 as my 1B favorite with Absolute.

Hey was anti ONR for some reason for a long while. Just bought it to use in rinse bucket.

I’m still not sold on DIY based of him trying to over explain the dirt being suspended in the liquid. Will eventually give it a shot.

Thanks for the feedback coatings. I'm into rinseless wash products big time, they are my favorite products besides my polishers, pads, polishes and clay.

I recently gave away my last yellow rupes pad to a local detail shop, they are actually using system x coatings. The owner told me he will do a full detail for $500 with a coating. They are using menzerna and megs polishes. Great lighting. I saw and picked up lol a shinemate rotary and northwolf DA, which are both from china.
 
Question for you all using Absolute -- Does it "clump" up in the bucket, and have issues mixing? Also does it smell like shampoo (lol)?

I've been less than impressed with Absolute just because of its strange consistency. It's like it doesn't fully dissolve into the water for me. Wondering if that's normal, or if because I bought a bottle from the first batch that there was some quality issues. It still cleans fine and wipes up about as easily as ONR, but it doesn't seem to suspend itself very well (or the particles in the bucket for that matter).

Yes it will clump in the bucket. I find I really have to mix it in by hand to get the clumps to go away. Overall I find the product " is ok" for a rinseless wash. For having used just about every rinseless on the market I find it is certainly not a game changer. I have watched tons of YT videos and I really begin to wonder what is pure marketing and what is an honest review. It does leave the surface "sorta slick" but in comparison to something like Uber Rinseless there is a huge difference. Will I reorder when my bottle is done...Jury is still out.
 
Yeah, absolute doesn't just dissolve like other RWs. It more just kinda disperses.

It's a normal characteristic of the product, probably it's only drawback. All products have a quirk or two.

A couple of pointers -

-Shake the bottle thoroughly before measuring out.

-Try using warm water for your dilution.

-Stir the product vigorously in the bucket before adding your towels, wash mitt or sponge.

I have had it clump once, all I did was stir up the bucket again and was good to go again.

Mine seams to mix fine but I use warm water. Does need a good mix and I find it slick to the feel with a BRS. Not so much with towels. Mine smells like coconuts.

It’s my favorite so far with limited usage with BRS. But yeah nothing “game changing”.

I have a bottle of Absolute RW and look forward to trying it out, might be a while as our 4 weeks of above average temps are over for a bit

I'm guessing it makes for a good interior detailer too

It smells great.

I wish i could try it but it's just too cold here right now.

Based on the smell and shelf appeal it will be the one i will try before DIY, which i ordered the same time.

I did mix up about 800ml of DIY at 1:118 for a pretreat.. lol Just because i can. :)

Yeah it's a new term i kinda stole from the cannabis industry they call it "bag appeal" lol I like nice packaging personally. I will use both bottles of course.
 
I still haven't gotten the chance to use absolute or DIY on my car but i have been playing around with both products for light cleaning around my workplace for wiping down sinks and mirrors, bulkheads etc with light dust/dirt.

I've been using them at 1:128 and DIY is easily better for that application. It does smell better than i originally thought but still not like absolute.

I think the true test will be how well the rinseless cleans the sponge between passes on a dirty car. Which apparently will once again be DIY.

The DIY will drop dirt to the bottom. It's formulated similarly to ONR - polymer based, zwitterionic but has more surfactants.

If DIY adds a better coating to the mix their line will be top notch I think.

Yeah it looks like DIY is the one i'm going with. I like to try their waffle pad too but my main distributor doesn't have it in stock yet..

Come on mate! You got me on the rinse-less bandwagon, now I'm diving deep down that rabbit hole..................the least you could do is give Absolute a go! :rulez:





Joking of course! :joking:

Ivan specifically stated in this video it does not drop everything to the bottom and keep some “stuff” in suspension due to the surfactants. Kinda of how N-914 performs.

Product is not zwitterionic (if it was guarantee the would state)

Not nocking it as it seems to do well and has a lot of fans who are not advertisements.

only one that seems to have Polymers, surfactants and emulsifiers.

Have you tried and do you like it better than Absolute?

I will eventually try it but a bit peeved it’s the same price for 16oz of product where most give 32oz. Just waiting to find it somewhere with free shipping.
