Rinseless Washes - 2022

I had to watch the video to actually remember that product

I remember one gimmick that was like a garden hose pistol attachment that screwed on the hose and had a threaded chamber that held different big lozenges of product for the various processes

A soap one and a wax one and a spotless rinse one

I never bought one but they were really selling them hard on TV

I can’t remember if it was Turtle Wax or some “Ronco” type infomercial deal

It was Mr. Clean. We all had them on Autopia and we all threw them away and got CR Spotless...and those are all sitting in a corner of the basement.

OMG! They still sell them: https://www.amazon.com/Mr-Clean-Aut...470279081-B0006M56CE-&hvexpln=73&gad_source=1
 
I'm sure some day the current in vogue methods of today will be looked at as silly. An example would be snow foaming.
Not sure rinseless washing will be so quick to go by the wayside as it is a much simpler way to accomplish the task. At least until an even easier method is conceived. However your average Joe is not aware that rinseless wash exists.
I'm quite sure that all the guys I grew up with wrenching on cars and maintaining cars have never used rinseless wash. They kind of look at me goofy when I start going on about special drying towels, drying aids and grit guards.One of my brothers just rolled his eyes when he happened to stop at my house when i was doing a wash and went into the little details.

Snow foaming, with the correct pre-wash product, makes your contact wash that much easier AND safer though

Done been conceived… It’s called waterless wash.

I understand that but the average person would just look at you funny if you suggested doing so. As a matter of fact I see very few people around me hand washing their vehicles. I assume they just take them through an automatic car wash a half dozen times a year.
I have always hand washed my vehicles. I currently own four. One I have had for 25 years. None of them have ever been to any kind of car wash.

It's about convience and necessity in my case, well, before the knock sensor went bad TWICE, then I had to stop using it. Even when I did I looked forward to every hand wash, traditional or RW

Does ADS Hero leave a gloss finish behind? Thought about trying and would use it on the interior. The product does claim to use Sio2. Ech20 leaves a gloss behind.

I believe it does, the couple times I've used it I noticed it was slick and glossy

Beach towels were best for drying*
And cotton terry cloth hand towels were ideal for washing, they provided the strongest scrubbing ability.

And can’t forget newspaper & windex for the glass.

Learned that newspaper trick from an old crane operator....it was a legit, good way to clean glass and get 0 streaks.

Neihbors on both sides of our property still use bath/beach towels to dry thier vehicles. Shitt makes me cring every time

From my review here -

https://www.autogeekonline.net/foru...s-rince-less-wash-shootout-2.html#post1795161

"............combines the lubrication properties offered by a polymer chemistry with a “residue-free surfactant” to better dissolve dirt. It also contains SiO2 to increase slickness. However, Hero does not leave behind “durable polymers” or “surface altering” protection behind, in other words it won’t alter your existing wax, sealant or coatings."

How does everyone clean the fabric wheel well liners during a rinseless wash.
 
With a hose and another cleaning agent. Can't use a hose then use a pump sprayer with water.

I was envious of cars that had those until I really thought it through and I am glad I don't have them

They are removable, at least on all of the ones I've seen (though it's usually a PITA) - including my '23 Bronco. I couldn't be bothered, myself, but the truly hard core remove them and clean them then put them back. There's even a camp that removes them, cleans them, then spray paints them. If I go offroad and get them mudded up then whatever doesn't come off at the local carwash with a power sprayer in the wheel wells has earned the right to stick around as far as I'm concerned.
