I'm glad you too remembered his anti-soap stance, it was someone trying to be the smartest person in the room and it showed. It's pretty simple to me, sometimes RW is all you need while other times the 2BM is THEE only way to go, wouldn't that just be more logical to sayI have a love/hate relationship with his content. I appreciate how he's tried to make detailing more palatable to the average joe but it's the double speak that bothers me.
For years he ranted and raved about why soap is old technology and professionals need to use a RW to be more efficient but if that's the case why do they use Incredible Suds so much and their rinse less so little. For instance, about a week ago they had a hammered off road Range Rover. There was no way in the world they could have made a dent in that filth with a rinse less and if you're a professional, people aren't bringing you well maintained vehicles. These are vehicles that haven't seen soap in years. You're gonna need soap and you're gonna need something with some bite to it.
DIY has a 3pH system, they just don't call it that but they use it quite often. Let's take the Range Rover from last week. Instead of starting with something like Touch-Less they started with All Clean (high ph) and then went in for a contact wash with Suds (neutral). After the contact wash they liberally applied water spot remover (acidic). What they did is no different than what I do when I have a severely neglected vehicle; Touch-Less, Descale and Reset. A rose by any other name is still a rose.

I also remember asking them a pre-wash to compete with Bilt-Hamber Touchless or Auto-foam, maybe benchmarking it and they told me they were benchmarking a better product...wonder what it was and why they abandoned it
