I think there's a misconception with rinseless. It replaces contact wash shampoo, not the prerinse as well. Yes one can do a rinseless wash without prerinse but unless the vehicle has a light layer of contamination it's best to do a prewash even if it's just a hose down to remove larger contaminates. Bilt Hambler Touchless or foam is a perfect compliment. Get a cheap garden pump sprayer and you're all set👍.
@SuperchargedLlama8 күн бұрын
I agree with you whole heartedly there. The Rinseless bit only applies to the contact wash stage, but there's so much content out there showing that you do it the whole way from the pre-wash (not that the bulk of Americans really don't really do much pre-wash apart from rinsing). The car I demonstrated with here definitely needed more than Touch-Less as it was so dirty and engrained; Vb or Garage Therapy Decon Shampoo were perfect for the pre-wash (and actually would have been the ideal contact wash product too, but the Rinseless worked well enough). Touch-Less is brilliant though, isn't it?

Nice video buddy and some very good recommendations there. I am trying to be good and use up what I have these days as it seems to be rather addictive buying more detailing products for some reason. One in one out policy (as best I can!) is what I'm trying to stick to. However Ebay has just thrown a £10 voucher my way and I've got to use it with the next two days. What should I use it on!? Ahhh! Edit: So from memory got some Forst X, Autowheel, a spray on rise off sealant, Nilco Nilglass, Touchless. Maybe traceless? Or Incinerate V2 or Greenstar? Hmmm, ebay being sneaky here making me buy things I don't need but may as well use it.

@SuperchargedLlama9 күн бұрын
@AM4N18 I do actually prefer GS, yes. It's not quite as concentrated, but I find it doesn't leave any residue behind and rinses off more easily, which is why I've switched to it. I do have Surfex still because there are some jobs where it absolutely brilliant for, but you can still do the same with Greenstar! I have just thought that I might mix it up strong as use it as a light wheel cleaner at 10:1. Having a citrus based cleaner around is really helpful when it comes to bugs and stuff, but if you've got anything already then I think you're sorted. And as for Incinerate V2, I think it's about the same as V1 (haven't got both to compare) but it's a new formulation because various chemicals were harder to come by I believe.

It is indeed, if anything it'll reinvigorate them a bit, but being realistic, it'll just make the water you're putting on it a bit more Scottish in it's softness rather than anything particularly impactful on the paint.

I'm asking my daughter (she's 30 and earns more than I do !), for some slippers, as I buy all my own products 🙂 Bilt Hamber are my go to, for snow foam, wheel cleaner, and APC. edit : UF Wheel Woolies are fantastic. I use them myself, long handles to reach right to the back of wide wheel barrels, super durable, and the three sizes fit any part of a wheel. I had mine for about 2 years and they are still superb condition, and use them at least 3 times a month.

If you decide to buy your own Christmas presents from this list (to try something new) then you won't be disappointed. Greenstar is nicer to use than Surfex as it doesn't leave any residue - good for interiors, but it isn't quite as concentrated. If you use Auto Wash as the shampoo then the Garage Therapy ones are a big step up there.

I feel that! I've partly got a whole car because of it. What I would suggest in that situation is actually using Garage Therapy Rinseless, but just treat it as a regular car shampoo it you're not down for a Rinseless Wash routine (I still snow foam pre-wash btw). It doesn't waterspot, is very mildly acidic just to soften the water and doesn't pose any risk to your paint if it dries out.

That's a really interesting topic to cover actually, I thought you meant car roofs at first but now I realise that isn't what you meant at all!

I use a rinseless occasionally. Typically when dirt level low and I want a quick wash without getting too much kit out. First impressions were your use of rinseless after pre-washing with a pressure washer was a bit lost on me, it conflicts with when i would use it. But I think I will have to give this approach a go and see what I think in practice. Having dwelled on it (see what i did), it is still adding efficiency and is opening the potential to use more frequently due to inclusion of the pre-wash.
@SuperchargedLlama17 күн бұрын
You're absolutely right in your use case, that's how I typically use a Rinseless wash myself. This car was too dirty to do that with, but a good place to demonstrate it none the less. I used to have a water tank in the van (being a mobile detailer) and I found that even if I pre-washed with a foam, I used so much less water overall if I used a Rinseless for the wash process, which is a usecase that isn't talked about that often.
