Don’t buy a gallon…. Sounded like a good idea at the time….

^^ Yeah a gallon of Ecowash would last me 10 years!!

I like selection so maybe i should get off this gallon trip...oh the agony haha
 
FYI for the rinseless junkies. Mafra the makers of Labocosmetica will be releasing a new rinseless under their Maniac Line this year! Gives me an excuse to pickup fiero. :)

Edit: Looks like Artdeshine might have a new one has well...but I'm not sure, looks like it's in poland now.

So much for buying a gallon haha

I used Ech20 diluted 1:30/35 on the interior yesterday. Came out great. A matte finish, if that. Very subtle finish with zero greasy feel. I didn't have to follow up with a dry cloth either. No visible streaking. Being my truck has a mostly plastic interior, I heavily sprayed the Ech20 into a mf. Saturated it really well and wiped it all down. I do the same with ONR, but what I like about Ech20 is you can dilute it for a glossy, matte or no finish look. I use it on engine bay too.
 
With Ech2o, what dilution do you use for pre-splay/pre-soak, assuming this is not a "true" dedicated rinseless wash? Same dilution as rinseless (1:200) or something more strong?

Its really up to you. Personally, i usually double the dilution of the pre-treat (1:100 in this case). No idea if it helps me clean better than just using the rinseless solution.
 
Here is my take on ONR version 5. In short a minor update from my experience using it.

 
One more question: how much solution do you spend to pre-spray/pre-soak a mid-size sedan? I'm going to buy Marolex sprayer but don't know whether I need 1L or 1.5L version.

Get the bigger bottle. To help with keeping pressure its best to only fill the pump sprayer about halfway to 3/4's. You can still fill it up but you will lose pressure quickly at first.

edit: 1 to 2+ liters is more accurate of rinseless for the pre-treat.

Lots of people just dunk the sprayer in the bucket full or rinseless. If you do that you might want to make 2.5 to 3 gallons of rinseless.

Lots of good youtube video's on rinseless washing. The Guz has several.

I use a 2L T Tovia electric plant sprayer. I'm using most of it to pretreat.

I would get the 3 liter. I keep my pre spray in there and will last for several washes. Trust me you’ll appreciate having it.

One good pump up will do the whole car. I prolly use 1.1-1.3,liters a wash.

I use a 3.8L Scotts pump sprayer. Great fan setting and holds pressure for most of the car on one good pump up(or maybe pump "down" lol), 20-40 pumps maybe. 1/2 full.

Not the strongest wand. If it breaks i will step up in quality. I love that thing. i should of had one 4 years ago.

I did use a 20 year old pump sprayer the last 4+ years but the fan wasn't very good. It still works, i might use it for harsher chemicals or something.
 
Great thread. About to finish my gallon of N914 so I'm looking at trying something new. Looks like either DIY or Absolute. I always liked how ONR wiped (slick) but N914 cleans a bit better. I use the Gary Dean method with microfibers and pretreat with an electric pump sprayer. I like the simplicity/ease of something like a BRS/UBS but rather not want to worry about squeezing/rinsing out the sponge every time I go back to the panel. I wonder if anyone out there going a step further and is using the Gary Dean method with multiple sponges :laughing:

Which one are you leaning towards?

I'll toss in a recommendation for Feynlab Pure Rinseless. It is deeper cleaning than Absolute and maybe slightly more than N914. I have not used DIY for comparison there but The Guz has. It is worth noting that Pure Rinseless can degrade less chemically resistant toppers/sealants/QD's because it's intended to be used for ceramic coated cars. It's also terribly streaky on glass so you will have to go back over that with a proper glass cleaner.

Feynlab always gets slept on, even myself who's used it and LOVED it, forgets about it. They really need to advertise more, they're the "Bilt-Hamber" of RW's️

Feynlab is good if you’re looking for the sledgehammer. It will degrade a wax or sealant. I have used Feynlab to prep for a polish and coating and it strips off whatever is on the surface. Perfect for deep cleaning a coating.

Add Owner’s Pride to the mix of a good rinsless wash option. More concentrated than the most.

I want to try them both but will probably start with the 32oz Absolute. I've used Ultima and Wolfgang in the past as well. They all work well enough for my use but N914 has been my favorite to date. I do rinseless washes often for maintenance of coated cars but if the car is dirtier I'll do a contact wash (usually every handful of washes).
 
Can't go wrong with either, it's honestly a wash (pun intended) but Griot's Garage Brillant Shine rinseless wash is another option and cimpeteivly priced
