I always have more fun with my chenille mitt haha but I know it’s all personal preference-- besides detailing should be FUN! Pro tip: for those who like to use a chenille or microfiber mitt with rinseless over the sponge- be sure to choose a mitt with a 80/20 blend not 70/30. The 80/20 blend will release the dirt off the material much easier

Ceramic gloss question - how often should it be applied? If I wash my vehicle with rinseless wash every weekend, how often should this be applied? I don’t want to over apply and wast product.

[@diydetailofficial]

The correct answer is as often as you would like:) ceramic gloss smells great, adds a visible “pop,” and gives you extra lubrication while drying. However….you obviously don’t *need* it once a week. The protection will last you months. I use it as a drying aid on every weekly wash because I like to, not because the car needs it:) -Nick

The towel does absorb some, if you’re concerned about your towels getting hydrophobic because of the ceramic there’s a simple thing you can do to prevent it. When you’re finished soak in in your wash bucket for 15 minutes. The surfactants in DIY Detail Incredible Suds and or DIY Detail Rinseless Wash will break down the uncured ceramic, releasing it from the towel.

[@Reaper-Jim]

These are MY opinions ……. Can you honestly be objective and unbiased when you’re promoting your own products? Most skeptics are going to immediately call foul play. I’m a skeptic (for sure) but not on rinseless washing techniques. Rinseless washing is legitimately a player in the detailing business and certainly for use at home. Which rinseless product do I use, though? The answer to that question largely requires your own personal preference … there is no “best” but there is “best” for you. I’ve never used DIY products before but I’d be willing to bet they’re quality. The truth about rinseless: - It’s NOT the best method for dirty vehicles. - It’s NOT the safest method for washing vehicles. - It’s NOT the fastest way to wash vehicles. - It IS a safe and fast method of washing vehicles. - It IS an efficient method of washing mildly dirty vehicles. - It IS a cost effective way to wash vehicles. Anyone (and I do mean anyone) who argues these points is just plain ignorant. Rinseless washing works. There is no argument to be had. People arguing that method XYZ works better is just nonsense. The only difference I can tell is that rinseless washing is NOT good at cleaning really dirty vehicles. But then rinseless products aren’t designed for that purpose anyway. Look, if you’re spending more than 30 minutes washing a vehicle (regardless of technique) you’re simply doing it wrong. Sorry to burst your bubble here. Yes, there are extreme cases which require more time but then that’s not a normal thing so it really doesn’t play in to any of this. Even waterless washing shouldn’t take more than 30 minutes, though I think waterless is the worst possible technique you can use. Point being, how can you be profitable if you’re taking an hour (or more) just to wash a vehicle? Rinseless washing is an excellent method of washing vehicles, but it is NOT the be all end all way. I’m sorry, it’s just not. Just as traditional, touchless and waterless are not the best techniques either. Every vehicle will need its own thing when it comes to washing. Every detailer will have their own opinion on how to best get the job done. It is what it is. Use what serves you best. You won’t regret it. I promise. 😊😊😊
