An Initial Look At Carbon Collective Evolve Rinseless Wash

[@StevePierson123]

I’m cool with fun 👍 great video as always G

[@MikeGDetailing]

@StevePierson123 appreciate it.

[@DetailsNMe]

Oooh the review I have been waiting for...I just might have another Rinseless to add to my ever growing collection ...thank you for always bringing integrity and honesty to your videos!! Can't wait to chat with you on Monday night!!

[@MikeGDetailing]

@@DetailsNMe thank you. We are going to have a fun time on your podcast. Looking forward to it.

[@FineDetailingAZ]

Excellent review like always Mike. That was a cool shot of the dirt encapsulation.

[@MikeGDetailing]

@FineDetailingAZ thank you sir.

[@79blustone]

Agreed 👍 you could easily see dirt being brought into the centre of each bead. Pretty cool 😎

[@DETAILSofficial]

Carbon Collective are top tier products in my opinion, all their products are above average

[@MikeGDetailing]

@@DETAILSofficial thanks for posting your feedback. I plan to try more of the brand out.

[@FredShramovich]

Great job reviewing this Mike, it is overwhelming how many rinseless wash options exist now. I need to try a few more so I can pick my go to.

[@MikeGDetailing]

@@FredShramovich thanks. It is to the point where there are too many options like car soap. Can’t go wrong with any of them.

[@weaverdetails4747]

Great review! I need to try this. Love detail division.

[@MikeGDetailing]

@@weaverdetails4747 I think you will be pleasantly surprised at how good this is.

[@jeffc6832]

Thanks for giving us a look at this and sharing your initial thoughts, your consistent and straightforward approach is always appreciated. The color change does seem a little gimmicky, but based on your feedback about the performance I think this one will be on my list to buy someday. Regarding ONR Hyper Foam, I think it is worth taking a look at. I've not had much time to play with it yet, but I'm glad to see Dr. G provide his take on a polymer/surfactant hybrid formulation. The foaming aspect doesn't interest me all that much, but even when used as a straight rinseless the cleaning power is improved over regular ONR and it passes the dunk test. Interesting side note: of all the wash sponges I have (2018 BRS, 2020 UBS, 2024 USS, Detail Co., and DIY Legacy v2) only the Legacy v2 creates a foam when squeezing it out in the bucket. So if you want to use it as a straight non-foaming rinseless, don't use the Legacy sponge.

RINSELESS GANG !!!!!!!!!! what up mike g!!!

[@MikeGDetailing]

@@rickg5932 thanks. It’s a marolex.

[@rickg5932]

@@MikeGDetailingI was hoping that would be the case! Thanks

[@derekpham2849]

Completely agree. Evolve came out swinging with the cleaning power and scent for me. Dilutions are incredible too as it uses less than the competition at the Rinseless mix. The Pre-Soak mix is excellent too for maintenance washes, even on semi-dirty wheels and tires.

[@derekpham2849]

Scott at Detail division is the only distributor in the USA that sells Carbon Collective. Other notable products from their line would be Sateen Tire dressing, Rapide detailer, and Nouvo plastic and trim dressing. Those are the products I tried first that made me like the brand.

[@KCKwayland]

Great review Mike of the carbon collective rinseless wash , it looks like it has really good cleaning power and a excellent dilution ratio , it now looks like a English company has a rinseless to give the Americans a run for their money!🇬🇧

[@MikeGDetailing]

@@derekpham2849 appreciate the feedback.

[@MikeGDetailing]

@@derekpham2849 I will have to add these to the list of products to try.

[@MikeGDetailing]

@@KCKwayland thanks. Yeah this is a good one that is a competitor.

[@AlexDetails]

Great review! Def my new favorite and I have pretty much all of them. The diff dilutions for spray bottles make it almost as effective as an APC. Smoking hot rinseless. Forensic detailing also did a solid comparison of many rinseless' in a shootout, which is what made me seek out this one.

[@MikeGDetailing]

@@AlexDetails thanks. Carbon Collective hit a home run with this one.

[@jasonrowland1594]

Great review! Looks like another great Rinseless option. This has definitely been the year of the rinseless wash products. We have so many to choose from now. I've bought and used this year ONR v5, RRW, Hero, DIY v2, and Clean. Some are a bit better than others at different things, but all of them get the job done. Guess I'll have to pick up this one now :)

[@MikeGDetailing]

@@jasonrowland1594 lol add another to the list. You are right all of them do a good job and we are not picking to see who is the best.

[@joevanseeters2873]

I have heard quite a few good things about this particular rinseless wash but I haven't personally tried it yet. I have about 25 bottles of various rinseless wash products at the moment. Of course, about half are more than three years old so I should probably purge out some of the older bottles I have. I am loving DIY Rinseless, Koch RRW, Detail Popo Foaming Rinseless, and I still love using my good ole' stand-by of Optimum No Rinse, the one I probably use the most. I really want to try this one, I'll probably get a bottle soon to try out. My cabinet is too full at the moment. I do love my rinseless washes though. I just need to narrow down which one I love using the most and just stick with that one or maybe have just a couple for various things such as one polymer based and maybe one good surfactant based rinseless wash. It's mind boggling how many rinseless washes are on the market now days. It's without a doubt the new "buzz word" in the detailing industry over the past few years, similar to how the word "Graphene" stormed into the detailing world a few years back when everybody under the sun had to have a graphene product, only to find out later that graphene wasn't the end all to be all so to speak of detailing products. In fact, after extensive use and real world testing, the graphene craze died off quite a bit, although many companies still tout it as being some great addition to their products or something. Thanks for taking your valuable time to post these informative reviews and real world tests which highlight your personal experience with all these detailing products. It helps us enthusiasts out here in the world to make informed decision and navigate through all the HYPE of many of these products.

[@MikeGDetailing]

I agree, there are so many options available these days and we are spoiled with all the choices we have.

[@elonsus9747]

I picked up some ONR hyper foam. I used it as a regular RW and it just felt sticky and left some polymer and surfactant soap stains. They wiped away easy enough but I kind of regret buying it. Not my cup of tea. I definitely prefer Hybrid or polymer rinse-less compared to surfactant heavy ones. I have so many I have yet to pick my go to.

[@MikeGDetailing]

@@elonsus9747 I will test it out at some point and see if I have the same issue.

[@lrodecw]

Surfactant based rinseless washes seem to the preferred to polymer based rinseless great review

[@MikeGDetailing]

@@lrodecw thank you. You are correct as a surfactant just cleans better.

[@fretho8410]

Very impressed by the dirt encapsulation, seems like an excellent product. Any opinion on protection from marring compared to other rinseless wash products (e.g. OPT Optimum No Rinse, Wolfgang Uber Rinseless Wash)?

[@MikeGDetailing]

@fretho8410 thanks for watching. I have used rinseless for years and I have yet to cause any type of marring using a sponge. Most of them these days have some very good lubrication to help with that.

[@jefferrrson1x]

That’s dope! Wish you could make a top 5 rinseless wash video for 2024. Plz Brodie.

[@davidnuxoll7074]

For me since I live near Koch Chemie USA I can pick it up in person so RRW for $19.99 for 33.8oz/1 liter and it’s actually .59 cents a bottle

[@MikeGDetailing]

@@davidnuxoll7074 that is great. An endless supply of RRW local to you is not a bad thing 😃. It is a good rinseless wash.

[@DrkDragon525]

That was fast, the 1L is already sold out. Only the 500ml is available.

[@MikeGDetailing]

@@DrkDragon525 yeah I checked and the 1L went fast. I suspect this is going to be a top seller.

[@79blustone]

This one did quite well on John's Forensic detailing channel, its only £19 on their website, making it better for cost, but it's still high. It's decent and worked well on your Equinox, good level of dirt to showcase too. With a change of US president very soon and the higher trade tariffs. It could make our passion with detailing that much more difficult to and from accross the pond unfortunately. I'm probably going stock up and waiting for Pans products to drop here imminently.

[@MikeGDetailing]

@@79blustone thanks for posting this. I don’t follow his channel so I had no idea he used it. I will have to check his video out and see what he says.

[@79blustone]

​​@@MikeGDetailingIf you check out his Best rinseless wash shoot out 2024 at about 42:42 is John's review on this British brand. I've just reviewed it again. Price plays a big part in John's reviews as the overall picture of each product- so not necessarily about how it performs but that obviously plays a big part too. He's very open and honest much like you Mike, to be honest between both of you, I tend to take on both your advice pretty evenly split as I completely trust both your opinions and have a feel to both your high standards. It good to self sense check from others you trust too. Keep at it Mike 💪

[@debtennis1301]

Yours and Eddie's dunk test on this was wild!!! This one looks like a cleaning monster for sure. Thanks for the review!!

[@tickle_deeznutz-qr1wn]

Everything is "wild" to you Eddie-lovers. Dunk test doesn't mean dick when you're using a rinseless sponge. It's nice when you're wiping down interiors to cut down on towels, but that's about it. I'm not taking a dirty microfiber back to my paint regardless of what it looks like.

[@MikeGDetailing]

@@debtennis1301 its cleaning power is top tier. Carbon Collective came to play.

[@1stfrompuertorico568]

[@FrankoDetails]

yo boyce, it took a little searching but mike had mentioned someone was asking about the stickshift handles … to make the whole thing and mark it up for profit is stupid expensive so i’m just making the handles to send out. some assembly required style, you just need to have the bucket dolly or get one. i highly recommend the gritguard brand for this setup. i’m thinking the handle price will be right at or exactly $100 that’s with shipping included but i’m still trying to plan it out mikes was almost $200 with no mark up for profit (strictly a gift). ups charges a lot for shipping large boxes and to ship the whole thing it needs a 36x15x15 inch box … very large 😜. mike does giveaways from time to time and sending him a stickshift was my way of giving back. something useful and more substantial than just a chemical or coating 🤘🏽🐿️💨 i won one of his giveaways awhile back i was afraid of being scammed and he was like “do you want this or not quit being a little b*tch” 😆😆😆😆😆

Funny how a product like clean by pan that has only been out for a short period is now among the top. I am more curious is about what popular (not all hyped on YT) you would avoid. I believe most work..get car clean and not harm to paint

[@jeffc6832]

It's just Mike's personal preference man. Watch his review of Clean Rinse-Less and try it for yourself. I didn't want to like it, but I love it. Strong cleaning power and top notch slickness put it right up at the top for a maintenance wash product.

@@Ecdetails thanks bro. I would be interested to hear your thoughts on this comparison when garage therapy is in the house.

[@79blustone]

That's interesting to hear. Two British brands I've failed to try out-(rinseless) being British 🤦. But Hero is such a good product 👌 I love using it. Anyway, speaking of Garage therapy, I've recently picked up a bottle of /one V3 neutral shampoo. Using Reset for years now and very very hard pushed to try another, its very similar- very similar. The smell from the bottle neat is a little ok, but when in the bucket the smell is sooo good- fresh green apple. Very pleasant. So, worth a review to see what you both think. So far I'm showing interest in G.T and Carbon collective!
