On a cold day in February, a 20 min maintenance wash is all you need. A rinseless wash method is a Godsend to anyone who wants to keep their vehicle immaculate.

[@diydetailofficial]

Thank you.

[@Carlos.Rivera]

You got cold, I got bloody hell heat. Rinseless and cold 6 pack

[@Poconogreyhound]

I'm glad you made this video. So many people are still worried about rinseless. I wash my truck and car looking as nasty or worse than this weekly in the winter (outside). Yes I did go to the coin wash to knock off the salt "chunks". But I do exactly what you do, just pre spray, use a foam sponge or mitt, both work totally fine.

[@diydetailofficial]

Thank you.

[@Poconogreyhound]

edit: may be odd for some but... if its misting/drizzle using the sponge is much better than a mitt. The sponge tends to suck up everything as opposed to the mitt which just pushes everything around with the extra "liquid". I only know this because last weekend it was supposed to rain free and ended up raining 3/4 through the wash. Switched to the sponge and everything was good.

I’m planning on doing the gold standard system to my car. I have slight orange peel so I was wondering if the gold standard polish could potentially correct some of that? Or would I need to use something more abrasive first?

[@diydetailofficial]

Polishing doesn’t remove orange peel, only sanding will. We highly recommend you not remove factory orange peel.

[@GeorgePap99]

Very cool video showing all you need is actually a little time and few products for professional level detailing. I know your take guys on unecessary chemicals (dedicated wheel cleaner as mentioned), but could you make a podcast on talking only about why these aren't necessary on your product line-up? I guess there's more for us to learn and understand and it would only help sell more DIYDetail products 😂

Yes, but the hose or pressure washer are preferred

[@ParthPatel-gl1ct]

when I was waiting for my ik sprayer to arrive I went the distance to take my bucket of rinseless and just squeezing out the sponge on the car so I am able to wash the car. So this is genuinly a good and safer alternative to foam washing ( especially in the winter) great video guys!!

[@diydetailofficial]

Good idea

[@chrisdenman1985]

Another great rinseless teaching video guys! So on another video Yvan showed us a car drying trick. Using a smaller towel to get the majority of the water and then following up with the big waffle towel. If you use this method do you spray the drying aid on the car with the first smaller towel and finish with the waffle or do you spray the drying aid when you use the waffle to finish. Also can you use rinseless as a drying aid if the vehicle already has Ceramic Gloss on it from the last wash. Ceramic Gloss last a good while so why would you put it on every wash. Thanks!

[@diydetailofficial]

Spray before the small towel. Yes you can use DIY Detail Rinseless Wash as a drying aid.

[@johnfontaine1257]

Can you use rinseless wash outside in the sun? If so, What precautions do I need to take. Wash and dry small sections at a time? I really like DIY rinseless!!

I ordered some stuff from DIY when the sale was going on and it was totally worth it. All Clean was one of the products first I wanna say they used a plug to seal the gallon instead of the cheap plastic thing that’s a headache to rip sometimes. Second All Clean 15:1 worked better than P&S brake buster 5:1. I got a few more products and can’t wait to use them

Question about rinseless wash: I have a white vehicle, which is regularly maintained, and has a coating on it...I presoaked with foam, and rinsed, and then applied rinseless from my IK sprayer...After a couple passes with the sponge, I notice some dirty water beads on the panel. Do I need to keep going over the panel until there are no dirty water beads present?

Hi guys, have you seen the encapsulation demo on onr you tube page? Any thoughts? Ty.

[@diydetailofficial]

This is the reply we posted in the comments All 3 are good products and clean well, but the technologies are very different. What’s shown here is more attachment than encapsulation. A pure polymer rinseless attaches itself to the dirt, making it heavier than the water and sinking it down. With a surfactant based product, the dirt is emulsified, with any larger particles sinking to the bottom. With the DIY Detail Rinseless Wash we use both polymers and surfactants to accomplish our goal of cleaning the surface of the vehicle in the safest way possible. When polymers and surfactants are mixed, the surfactants win. To make this an accurate test( as opposed to a cool looking demonstration) first they should be diluted per instructions ( 256/1). Next is evaluating not how the water looks, but how clean the wash media is when leaving the wash bucket. In our R&D ( it was a 3 year process) how we evaluated our Rinseless was on how it cleaned the surface, not on how it separated in the bucket ( add oil to your glasses and it will also cause a similar effect). If you can find a sufficiently dirty white work truck, pre-spray the products on the surface, and evaluate how they lift the dirt off the surface. Next go over the same sized area with identical wash media. Return the wash media to the wash bucket. Remove the wash media from the bucket and observe how clean it is. Our goal was to have the cleanest surface, and also have the wash media returning to that surface be as clean as possible. With that said, they all work, but differently

[@user-il9js2xp3d]

Yes, I was just going to ask the same question as to why there appears to be a significant difference with dirt emulsion between ONR, McKees and DIY. Yvan and Nick, any thoughts as to what we are seeing in that video?

So does the sponge release the dirt when you squeeze it? You don’t have to squeeze it while it’s submerged to released dirt?

[@diydetailofficial]

Simply by being touched to the solution in the bucket.

I use RINSELESS WASH in the winter or when I am lazy for a full wash with my pressure washer. I do just what you did here, spray it, wash it with a garden house, and do the contact wash. I do like foam canon and pressure washer more, maybe just it's because it's just more satisfactory but RINSELESS WASH is a real handy and you still get a great results.

Can I use regular hose or warm tap water in a rinseless wash or does it need to be distilled? I was thinking if waterless wash has water softeners, then maybe it is ok to just use tap water without worrying about water spotting too much.

[@diydetailofficial]

No need for distilled water. Use a temperature that’s comfortable for your hands.

[@BMETFerg]

Say you buy a keg and don’t use all the solution during your RW. How long is the solution good for in the keg??

If diluted using tap water it’s variable ( a few weeks for sure, could be longer). With distilled water, indefinitely.

Thanks guys, very interesting. Just s question. I always thought the rinseless wash doesn’t need a hose as you teach in the past, and that was practically my religion as I doesn’t own a hose in my small garage in my condo. Do you say that DIY Rinseless Wash need to be rinsed always with a hose, or just in this case? This video let me think that I cannot continue my washing approach as I don’t own a water supply to attach a hose (and the rules of condo prohibit the use of hose to washing cars).

@dennyburgard8725 DIY Detail Rinseless Wash or DIY Detail Incredible Suds

[@1NC4stroker]

Here's a key point y'all should mention in a video. The mental aspect of contact washing is this : With soap or foam, you hide the fact that you're moving a sponge or microfiber over a dirty panel, so you feel safer. With a rinseless, you actually see yourself moving a sponge or microfiber over a dirty panel, and this can be a hurdle making people shy away from rinseless. You have to remember that either way, a contact wash means you will drag your wash media over a dirty panel.

Some of these tests aren't really real world examples of the products, or they don't show what you will experience as results. I always used ONR as my rinseless added a bottle of DIY to my cart just to get the free shipping. So glad I did. I prefer it to the ONR and its now my go to rinseless. ONR cleans well but I find it leaves a residue behind which is a pain when it comes to drying. You tube videos are fun to watch but you need to experiment on your own as well.

Interesting point. I think most people are not that exact and tend to over fill the cap. I personally tend to be exact and use a measuring scoop that is exactly 1oz.

[@nightowlgaragetx]

Technically, I didn't think that was truly a rinseless wash because you rinsed off the pre-rinse/soak with a hose & water. I think a true rinseless wash consists of a bucket (or two) with water, a sprayer and product. The concept being that you can wash your car safely without the need for a hose and additional water. I get that it was a Porsche and it looked fairly dirty, but it still would've been nice to see a rinseless wash without rinsing with a garden hose. You even mentioned the fact that you didn't have a pressure washer which indicates that you feel the need to even pressure wash with your rinseless wash.

[@diydetailofficial]

Rinseless has never been hoseless. Rinseless is about not rinsing after the contact wash.
