GYEON ECO RINSELESS WASH | City Under Water Restrictions

[@stevengregory3310]

Thanks Rick, you made my day 👍🏻. Can’t wait for the next video. Love the music scores by the way.

[@RADGarage]

I always enjoy hearing when people appreciate my videos. Thanks.

[@scootytamra]

We are having a horrible heat wave here in N.H.! I also don't care for rinseless washing, but i do it in winter when i can't use my hose, it's better than no washing at all.

[@RADGarage]

I would have to learn to love the rinseless under these circumstances, but I worked hard to create a garage that permits me to do it my way all year round. When we have water, of course. 💧

[@bstewartexecutivecarcare3797]

First good use of the reclaimed water. I was a bit surprised by your technique of washing, not using the scoop and folding method. However each to their own.

[@RADGarage]

My lack of technique is a direct function of my dislike for the process!

[@bstewartexecutivecarcare3797]

@@RADGarageLOL😂, I understand. I too was a disbeliever for many years. But in the winter I have no access to running water so I started trying out different types of rinse less washes. And there is a slight learning curve, but now with these new sponges it is soooo easy and really scratch free. Yes admittedly it will not give you that deep clean but if it is a well maintained car, for maintenance washing it really is the way to go, for me. And also it is NOT for vehicles that are quite dirty. Cheers and look forward to seeing the next video 👍✌️☮️

[@RADGarage]

You are speaking 100% truth! I respect the fact that this method works for others and I get that not everyone does things the same way.

[@1stfrompuertorico568]

Nice video I always do Rinseless, and it's the best thing to use inside and outside

Debatable 😉

Carzilla chris needs to sell you an ik sprayer ricky 😅.it probably would've made the experience a little better. Damn door dingers... Cool video, something new for you. Go, Oilers, go...

[@RADGarage]

Pumping the Pressol didn't detract from my enjoyment of the process. I actually like that sprayer. What did detract from my overall enjoyment of the experience was the monotony of it. Not having 100% access to the wheels, wheel arches and tight body gaps left me underwhelmed. I get the rinseless method, and I don't pretend to be skilled at it, but it is not my preferred method of washing a car and I can't fathom using it to work on a car belonging to someone else. It just doesn't feel 100% complete to me. Not shade being thrown on those that do, but that's how I feel about it.

[@just.florent]

Salut Rick j'espère que les restrictions d'eau cesseront force à vous et encore une fois même avec très peu d'eau le résultat est parfait 👌bonne continuation 👍

You need the DIY legacy sponge! 😉 I enjoy rinseless washing but my car is a garage queen that just gets dusty.

[@RADGarage]

I actually have two of them.

[@GoofylookinHippy]

Ah okay. Well I can definitely agree that Rinsless isn't as much fun as blasting away with a foam canon. I still do that too!

[@RADGarage]

Haha. I live for foam!

[@rayvalero8580]

Was skeptical about rinseless washing first. But now it’s my go to on PAINT. Wheels and tires I still do traditional but on paint, rinseless is quick, easy and in my experience, just as good as a traditional wash. I finish cleaning my paint in less than 15 minutes and save water. Plus plus. I got the gallon DIY Detail rinseless a week ago.

[@RADGarage]

I could be down with that hybrid approach.

[@rayvalero8580]

@@RADGarage give it a shot. I notice on Yvan Lacroix’ channel is that he does wheels and tires more traditionally and paint is rinseless.

[@RADGarage]

Yeah, there's no true effectively way to do an entire car with the rinseless method imho.

[@havingtoomuchfun4806]

Rick, does Chris at Carzilla have a bone to pick with you, did you do something to offend him? He should have sold you Diy or ADS Rinseless, and a real rinseless wash sponge like the legacy. That plus an IK, and you wouldn’t be missing your foam cannon so much. Maybe see if your fellow Canadian, Ivan from Diy can drive over and show you a much more effective and safe way to wash.

[@RADGarage]

I never concern myself with effectiveness and safety when performing my beloved mitt wash. I may give the DIY and ADS systems a try, but I’ll never adopt the rinseless method. It’s just not at all satisfying for me.

[@diydetailofficial]

Rick, rinseless is a skill, not a product, we will need to put this on our agenda.

[@RADGarage]

If you can find a way to make it satisfying, I will hear you out!

[@marisrozleja8762]

I personally think you were using the Rinseless Wash like your suds wash, too many passes on the same spot. If you had any debris in the towel, you were more likely to inflict damage. Microfibres should have been folded into squares and each side WIPED once across the paint. Flip the cloth to a new side and repeat. The Ex Optimum Guru once said that Microfibre Cloths are designed to trap dirt, while the ONR Sponges are designed to release debris. The Audi still came out looking great 👍

[@RADGarage]

Yeah, I just did not have the patience to do it 100% the way I should. I had the towels sopping wet so hopefully that provided the lubricity necessary to prevent any damage. I am planning on re-coating this car in the next month or so, so it will be getting a full correction polish very soon.

[@ericstehle753]

The pure enjoyment of a tradition detail in my garage is always so satisfying to me. I have a hard time wrapping my head around a rinseless wash and have only performed that 3-4 times. I always scratch my head as what to do for the wheels. I do appreciate you being committed to your community during this unusual situation. As always, the music you include is soothing and relaxes me as you are meticulously cleaning your Audi. Thanks for all your videos, Rick. Your time spent editing is very much appreciated.

[@RADGarage]

Thanks Eric, it sounds like you and I are on the same page here. I look forward to the restoration of my water supply!

[@vernonheine5476]

Wouldve been easier to take the wheels off ..

[@RADGarage]

Agreed!

[@IvanLazov]

Great video as always. What I've been doing for the couple of months is pre-foaming first, which removes the majority of dirt and then continue with the rinseless wash.

[@RADGarage]

That’s cheating!

[@FredShramovich]

Great video and way t o make a tough situation work! Good idea using the dehumidifier water!

[@RADGarage]

When life gives you lemons…

[@MasterC8436]

Great video! I feel for you in Calgary with the water situation. I'm not too far from you in Regina. It has been raining here every day for 2 weeks. I have to admit, I absolutely love rinseless washing in the garage. Used to only do it in the winter, but now do it in the summer. I always do a prefoam cleaning though with a pressure washer. Rinseless is much more enjoyable with a good sponge and a nice IK sprayer for the application. Cheers.

[@RADGarage]

I can see the appeal for some people, but this process leaves me unsatisfied. I would have loved to used a pre-foam, but these water restrictions forbid it. They say things should be back to normal the first week of July. Just in time for me to take on my big summer projects. I have some good ones lined up!

[@duanepassey5931]

Under stringent water restrictions, you’re certainly going to feel compromised using a rinseless wash. RW’s seem to be much misunderstood and maligned in the comments here. Think of RW solution as a similar product to a car shampoo-that you can wipe off instead of rinsing off, you just won’t experience the suds we have become so accustomed to. RW is a remarkable innovation where used properly can save significant time, water and cost, if that’s important to you.

[@RADGarage]

Perhaps one day I will be able to wrap my head around it.

[@waynefromnewfoundland8740]

I agree with your opinion on rinseless/ waterless washes. I have a litre of Absolute and it is more than enough to have kicking around, especially for the enthusiast. I use it in between washes, mostly on door frames and sills to keep everything from becoming an over the top mess. I do find it good for cleaning up bird droppings and touch up from a cool overnight. I have been following the water issues on the news. Good luck and who gets to grab the shower first when the water comes back? 😂😂 Till the next one.

[@RADGarage]

Luckily, we are “allowed” to shower! I will rely on rinseless only when absolutely necessary. A full RAD wash will happen the second the pipe is patched. I can guarantee it!

[@gregorypollet6106]

Hi Rick ! I guess this rinseless wash must have been a torture to you 😁 But yeah impossible to use regular process when you have that kind of major incident. I should consider giving it a try but I cannot imagine tackling dust and dirt with just a damp MF however plush it can be. I might be wrong but always reluctent. Great job though ,thanks to Gyeon products if I may say. Hope situation will soon come back to normal. Stay RAD Gregg

[@RADGarage]

It’s definitely not my ideal process for cleaning my car, but it’s all I have at the moment. I’ll give it another shot with a different agent and I’ll try the Legacy sponge. I’m not excited about it, though.

[@RADGarage]

Yup. In a pinch, it works. I like my arches clean too. Feels cheap and dirty when they are still dirty.

😅Hi Rick, as I'm at home I just watched your video, as always your work is super, videography, music and your attention to detail, but it was also a strange video without the usual wash.

[@AntLive29]

Hopefully they get the pipe sorted as quick as possible. I’m started to play more about with rinseless and waterless. I’ve been pretty impressed with it soo far 😊

[@RADGarage]

We should be back in track my early next month. What exactly has impressed you about the rinseless method?

[@ShaksWD]

@@RADGarage I’ve always had the fear of it inducing defects, but I’m starting to do it more often inbetween maintenance washes to keep the car looking fresh and as long it’s done in a safely manner like in your video, everything is good. Although wouldn’t want to do it when the car needs a proper wash 😂 and it’s great to keep a bottle diluted in the car along with a good bundle of microfibres when out and about for a waterless wash incase of any bird droppings that may happen or going to a car event

[@clintrockabar8100]

I think the Audi looks great even though you didn't get a chance to do your normal wash process. 🙂 I'm looking at trying a rinseless wash for when the car just has a light coating of dust on it, and was wondering if a pump sprayer might be a more efficient method of pre-treating the surface? Using a spray bottle a lot makes my carpal tunnel flare up (hazards of being an IT geek). Hoping the city is able to get the break repaired sooner rather than later. Thanks for sharing, and have a great day!

[@23dothedew]

An electric sprayer works better for pre treating the car with rinseless.

[@RADGarage]

Oh yeah, if you are performing this routine regularly, investing in a more efficient and convenient sprayer would be a smart idea. For me, this will be a one-time, possible two-time thing, so just using my Pressol was enough.

[@clintrockabar8100]

100%. I think the pressure washer is the key to any true deep exterior wash. I know there was residual dirt in the cracks and crevices left over.

[@danielfletcher1384]

Another fantastic video Rick! The cinematography is the best on KZbin!! The Audi looks amazing! Always love seeing a post from you! I use the rinseless method about 50% of the time on my truck, but I always use a bucket and pressure washer for the wheels no matter what.

[@RADGarage]

The wheels killed me! 😿

[@ScottKelley]

Rinseless washing wheels is one of my headaches. I try to just do wheel faces when just doing rinseless and then tackle it with a full soap wash when I want to get the barrel. Anywho... awesome shirt! Never been there, but the design looks awesome on that shirt. 👍

[@RADGarage]

Yeah, the wheels were torturous. I am used to having everything clean after a wash, and that is just not possible with a rinseless. I don't care what people say, you will never get the entire exterior clean with this method. Banff is a magical place for sure! We are fortunate it is only an hour away, and we manage to get there once each season.

Hey Rick, it Richard the77detailer. I've been on the fence about rinseles for ages and just can't bring myself to even try it out. Something just doesn't sit right in my head, and I don't think I will bother trying it out. You can't beat a nice foam and bucket wash👍 but I'm glad you did the video and made my mind up😂

[@RADGarage]

It’s interesting how some swear by it while others have zero interest. I don’t find rinseless at all satisfying. And, apparently I don’t know how to do it right. Can’t wait for water restrictions to be lifted so I can get back to doing things my preferred way.

[@The77detailer]

@RADGarage Let's hope it won't be much longer and you can get back to normal🤣 The good thing is that it's made my mind up about rinsless, and im sure it's helped others do the same.

*Disclaimer: To be completely honest, this video should NOT be the video that convinces you not to try it. I am not doing a great job of featuring the best methodology in this video. There are people that do it right. I'm not that guy! LOL

[@The77detailer]

@RADGarage It's not the method that puts me off🤣 It's the lack of snow foam, sudsy bucket wash, tyre, and wheel cleaning. All make it pleasurable on a lazy Sunday morning. I just needed an excuse not to make even more purchases 🤣

[@RADGarage]

Thanks man. Not my usual standard, but it worked out.

[@lazyjacket]

I think you will find rinseless more enjoyable when you have a pump sprayer, and a sponge designed for rinseless washing. Wheels is a hassle with rinseless, so I just do the front faces when doing rinseless, and take a deep clean when I do the full dance😅 I don’t have drainging in my garage, so do a quick pre-wash outside and finish with a rinseless inside is golden if it cold, windy or some rain.

[@RADGarage]

That sounds like a viable strategy for you. I am fortunate that the “Full Dance” is something I am able to perform regularly once we have the water restrictions lifted, which should be within the week. 🫰

[@rayvalero8580]

Yup, pump sprayer and sponge is definitely a must. And also if you have an electric spray or electric pump sprayer then HUGE plus. So much faster and easier with a sponge too. Contact, dunk in bucket, squeeze and continue on. I hated it first but now I’m a believer.

[@RADGarage]

We shall see if I ever attempt a rinseless again. I derive so little pleasure from the experience!

[@lazyjacket]

@@RADGarage like the wise emperor Palpatine said. Do it! It’s a learing curve and does have it’s perks. But if the car is nasty, remember rinseless means that you rinse less, but a pre-wash may still be required. Pump sprayer is a must. Pre-soak the whole car and let it work before starting. Sponge designed for rinseless is a game changer. It glides better, and if it’s a good rinseless it will release the dirt quick in the bucket. Labocosmetica Idrosave is very good. I’ve tried N-914 and Absolute as well, but Idrosave is a beast. Gyeon is on the shopping list 😅

Great video, this goes to show how good rinseless is when restrictions are in place and how important keeping infrastructure up to date is. Fingers crossed the crews working 24/7 to get the pipe repaired get it done as quickly as they can

[@RADGarage]

We received a section of pipe from our friends in San Diego last night and crews are in the process of making the repairs. I think we are going to be fine in a week or so. For those who don't have access or the desire to conduct a bucket wash, I guess the rinseless is a viable and practical option, but for reasons stated in the video, it is not my preferred method of washing my car.

[@in4chandru]

Yes, I agree. Rinseless wash is just a marketing gimmick. While you save water, you end up spending more time washing the car. Additionally, it takes the fun out of washing the car. So, I had to dispose of the Optimum Rinseless Wash blue and green color products down the drain years ago.

[@RADGarage]

I think enough people actually find the process satisfying so I will stop short of agreeing it is all marketing. We all have our own preferences, and mine is a traditional bucket wash with lots of soapy suds!

[@elonsus9747]

Rinse less is great. It’s been around for 30 plus years now. It’s a skill to be learned just like polishing. So it may take people a while to get the hang out it. Foam is fun, but that’s it. So you may ask what about a muddy truck or gritty winter car? Pre rinse, pressure wash it off. Then follow up your contact wash with rinse less. People will still stick to foam and 2 bucket methods and that’s fine. But for a professional detailer that runs a Mobile business? Rinse less is the way.

[@elonsus9747]

@@RADGarageWheels can still be tackled with rinse less. If they’re super bad, agitate with brush and pressure wash them off. Same thing with paint, if it’s to bad, pressure wash, pre spray rinse less, contact wash with rinse less, dry and your done.
