Rinseless Washes - 2022

[Klasse Act]

I've said it before, my RW sponge go in the shower and get rinsed down and cleaned, never any staining issues and yes, I do have Labocosmetica Idrosave in my collection, no problems

FYI Labocosmetica is working on a rinseless with no sealant - i might get a full gallon, without any reviews, i like Labocosmetica that much. My gold sponge never got stained from Idrosave personally. I don't let my sponge soak in the solution, if that's the reason...

If i was looking for a sponge today i would buy the new Blue Sponge from Lake Country. Nice color choice.

I am trying to get caught up on a few things

Some months back Griot's Rinseless Wash went away and you guys were theorizing that they were re-jiggering it and it would be reintroduced at SEMA and be better than ever

I see it is back on their website

Is it new and improved or.....?

Similar to old just slicker… cleans good not sure if it’s better or worse than old.

I wonder if that's a soft vs. hard water thing, I have soft(ened) water, I wonder if you use hard water, whether the purported softening action of ONR also attaches the dirt, and it falls out of solution. It does seem odd that myself and others observe pronounced staining, while others observe none at all.

Interesting thought. I have hard water and have not seen any staining on either my BRS or USS sponges when using ONR. I usually just shoot some APC or Dawn on them after use, agitate, rinse and let air dry.

I have had staining on mirocfiber mitts and ONR, they come out "clean" after laundering, but still a little off color. I'm back to washing with Micro-Restore and little borax and the off color or staining remain, but I've not had any micro-marring on paint. I still don't know what to make out of the staining or off-coloring.

I just tried the new Griot's Rinseless; I only got halfway done with the car before it started raining on me. Although members have stated this is a polymer wash, it seemed more like a hybrid to me, based on the foaming and rinse bucket behavior. Not that I have a lot of experience with hybrid rinseless washes.

For some reason I decided to use an Autofiber Double Flip towel as the media, which is kind of a nuisance IMO in this application. Probably would have worked out better if I had been using it in a multiple-media method rather than the single-media as I was using it.

I have used V6 many times with no issues staining any sponge unless you had some type of oily substance on the surface. Use some APC and rinse it out and it will clean up.

Idrosave and Gyeon are sponge stainers though.

I had the same issue a couple of days ago, using a BRS. Not sure what I picked up on the sponge. I used Power Clean at full strength, but only got some of it out, so I used some Dawn Platinum Plus Powewash spray and the sponge is clean, with the color looking almost new.

Just used 100ml of DIY Rinseless in an 80% full 5 gallon bucket, ~200ml of Labocosmetica Preludio Alkaline diluted 5:1 both prior to rinsing with a garden hose and a contact wash with DIY using a Gold Sponge. Car looks pretty good.

Even quickly polished the roof afterwards with 3D Speed on an orange pad. Never got out the scratch i was after but shined the paint up great. 3D Speed is very easy to use even in the sun but its not a cutter. Smells great, with a very smooth wipeoff.

Just 1500ml of DIY left...haha

I am surprised some of you guys don't speed polish more often. I've polished some of the panels on my car(s) now well over 50x. If you have no swirls a few quick passes on a polishing pad usually works really nicely to gloss up the paint.
