Weekend Wash With DIY Detail Rinseless Wash

[@diydetailofficial]

Thank you for the great review. A few things to add, 32oz isn’t in the plans, but gallons are on the way by the end of the month. We called it wash and shine, not because it leaves anything on the surface ( it doesn’t) but because it allows your clean surface to shine through. As for the foaming, it’s not a requirement, but the addition of surfactants allowed for foaming. Yvan’s experience with rinseless washing is extensive, and he has been asked about foaming a Rinseless for decades. New advances in chemistry have allowed us to combine surfactants and polymers.

[@MikeGDetailing]

Thanks for posting and chiming in to clarify some things. We can all agree that foaming is fun and adds a fun factor to the wash process.

How would I dilute rinseless wash in bottle sprayer for a waterless wash

[@diydetailofficial]

@@Fast-N-Clean dilute 1/4 oz( 1/2 cap) in your 32oz sprayer.

I used DIY Detail for the first time today on a very dirty car and found while it didn't have much of a visual effect in the bucket compared to P&S Absolute, it definitely was easier to clean the car and took away dirt in one pass. To add to that, I found the dirt released from the sponge (I'm using their Legacy Sponge as well) into the bucket instantly, vs the P&S which with heavier passes required some additional wringing. My sponge was clean after with zero stains even after working the tires and rims, which wasn't my experience with P&S. To add to that, while P&S was already a great value with using 1 oz to every gallon of water, DIY Detail's product is 1/2 oz to every gallon water. While the smaller bottle sizes aren't comparable, if purchasing the gallons for either, they are the exact same price ($65 CAD here in Canada). That means I get double the washes from DIY Detail's vs P&S. I also don't foam at all, and only use the product as designed, so I use significantly less than you used in the video here.

I'm sure it's a good product but I'm not spending 16 bucks for shipping on a 19 dollar product. Doesn't make sense to even try it.

[@jeffc6832]

I think they are in the process of getting it on Amazon.

Just used Feynlab for the first time and was totally blown away. Cleaning and lubrication was above the many others I've tried. Haven't seen anything from Diy that's interesting especially with price. Revive is another one that I've been playing with and like so far.

[@MikeGDetailing]

Feynlab is great if the paint has some sort of coating. Will out clean any of these others.

[@weaverdetails4747]

I struggled with glass using feynlab. What dilution did you use?

[@MikeGDetailing]

@@weaverdetails4747 Feynlab is not good on glass. You will have to come back and clean that residue up.

[@robcook6120]

I live in a dusty area and the products that leave polymer behind collect a lot more dust than those that don't. N914 is good in this regard. 10min sealant is also very low dust and makes a good drying aid. Most water based drying aids collect dust at least here.

[@bekiro28]

dust collection is not from polymers it's from friction when you are applying the product and buffing with a towel

[@LSD04]

@@bekiro28that’s rubbish, you wouldn’t notice a difference between products if that was the case

[@victoryensured7137]

I'm using rinsless washes for about 2 months, the first wash was jaw dropping for me, as I never thought this is possible, my first rinsless wash was DIY and to this day I am amazed how well it cleans, I don't care if it leaves behind something, I've got ceramic and it performs well for now, washing every week or two, I'm trying absolute now but I am a little bit disappointed, it doesn't clean so well, sometimes leaves streaks, and I don't like the scent, it was a big letdown as I heard very good things, but P&S has some great products. I think I'm going back to DIY, but waiting for gallons sizes to appear in stock.

[@stephen1503]

For those wondering, they mentioned in a live Q&A they’re working on producing gallons of the rinseless due to high demand which will inevitably reduce the cost-but it’s not their main priority being more of a boutique / weekend warriors brand

[@MikeGDetailing]

Thanks for posting this.

[@diydetailofficial]

Gallons should be available by the end of the month.

[@10CPS]

Working on gallons? Lol, it's a marketed brand with no benefits over the others. If they wanted to provide discounted bulk options they don't need to do anything other than have them manufactorer fill gallon sized jugs, this would take at most a few days

[@bekiro28]

@@10CPS they are working on getting the gallon containers itself from the manufacturer get some labels made for it etc wtf you are talking about bro :)

[@katser5023]

You should try the Detail Guardz grit guards. Much better then those open ones that you currently have.

[@jeffc6832]

How was the cleaning power when you did the wheels and tires? They are talking about it having extra cleaning power as compared to other rinseless washes because of a higher surfactant content. If true, that plus the foaming capabilities makes it an appealing option for me in the winter as a presoak prior to pressure washing (either in my driveway or at the local pay and spray). If it is more effective for wheels and tires (as a maintenance product, not deep cleaning of a neglected vehicle), that would be interesting to me too. I'll probably pick up a bottle once they have 32 ounce bottles available. That said, I'm in 100% agreement with you that I think P&S Absolute is the current rinseless to beat. The more I use it, the more I love it.

[@MikeGDetailing]

I did use it to clean wheels. I felt it cleaned just as good as ONR and Absolute. I did not even pay attention if it was stronger or not as it just cleaned them up well. It does foam nicely though. I cleaned the tires separately with a Adams Tire & Rubber as I applied a layer of American Detailer Garage Unity Tire Conditioner to test out. I posted up a reel on my ig showing how it foamed on the wheel. instagram.com/reel/CjthZ9nDQZr/?igshid=MDJmNzVkMjY=

Love the mckees gold sponge .. my favorite sponge. DIY has a new one .. looks like the BRS And UBS combined.

[@MikeGDetailing]

Gold sponge is nice. Good way to see dirt on it as well as a visual indicator.

[@epap1375]

I finally got around to trying the Feynlab rinseless and I’m absolutely shocked how well it cleans the paint. I might say it’s one of if not the best paint cleaner I’ve ever used including alkaline soaps. I didn’t think it was a great rinseless since it left a ton of residue on the glass and the drip marks from the mirror were nasty. Im keeping it in my arsenal for after winter washes I can’t believe how squeaky clean it got the nasty lower parts of the car that were covered in oily road film.

[@davidboyce6427]

Fuzion is my favorite Surfactant base Rinseless 👌. That I use in my Detail Keg I bought from Dave Barker in Utah👌

[@jefferrrson1x]

Gotta do a top 5 rinseless that you’ve tried.

[@79blustone]

I'm currently using Carpro ECH20, I'm new to rinseless washes, I find ECH20 does everything right. The most important function of anything that is on the surface of the paint is lubricity. In the UK we value lubricity over foam in the sense of how well the product performs. Foam is just for aesthetics. If a product dries out we simply add more product. Anyway back to point, ECH20 encapsulates dirt particles well and leaves a decent gloss and slickness behind, no complaints. However I'm instinctively drawn to Absolute and Like what David has done with it, I really like P&S, it's readily available in the UK (thank god) and I simply think there is no better wheel and tyre cleaner as Brake Buster (it less aggressive and leaves a slight film then Adam's). So I think Absolute is the one to try when ECH20 runs out. I can't get DIY Detailing here yet!. Yvan has worked well on this, as I've seen his work on other channels and want to try this [rinseless wash] when/if I can.

[@MikeGDetailing]

Either EcH2O or Absolute would be a good option. EcH2O will give the better gloss due to the silica while Absolute will offer the most economical use due to the dilution.

[@diydetailofficial]

We are working on getting distributors in the UK!

I use ONR almost every time I come back home. The car sits in my garage. I only wash my car once a month. Don't understand why Pan The Organizer washes his car 2X a week.

[@jayhoughton558]

Seems like a good product. But WAY too expensive when there are other great options that work just as well at the end of the day. Maybe if they come out with gallons if it is a better price per ounce might be an option. Considering this is being made by and promoted for a major chemical manufacturer I’m surprised gallons aren’t already available. Foaming seems like a waste of the already expensive product. Takes way longer to spray the foam from the pump sprayer vs regular sprayer, and you have to pump it up way more. Thanks for the demo!

[@MikeGDetailing]

Good points

[@diydetailofficial]

Jay, we are not promoting a big companies products, these are our own formulas and products. Yes gallons are on the way.

[@jayhoughton558]

@@diydetailofficial In the interview on Pan’s channel you said you were hired by a company to help develop some products 2 years ago. Then you said it went on to change into DIY detail. You said Nick got involved because the company wanted a spokesperson. You said the ‘company in question’ that you won’t name is (and I quote) “they’re a big chemical manufacturer, but they don’t sell anything under their own name… They make a lot of the chemicals you know and love already” I know the formulas are unique, did I misunderstand your point?

[@diydetailofficial]

Exactly, DIY Detail started as an arm of the company but Yvan and Nick are the majority owners not just spokespeople at this point. The company that started the project wasn’t able to produce all the products in the line, so with his industry knowledge, Yvan sourced different options to get a line we could stand behind. Thank you for paying close attention to our growth.

Finally … an opinion!

[@DetailingBreakdown]

Nice video, the gold McKee’s sponge is my favorite and softest of them all in my opinion.

Thank you. I know you have tried many of the sponges so this is good to hear that the McKee's gold is the softest.

[@DetailingBreakdown]

@@MikeGDetailing people all have opinions and that’s mine. Actually, the Speedmaster is softer but only able to use half as the other side has egg shaped pattern and I don’t like that. Maybe try it out and tell me what u think

[@Jeeper1378]

Funny .. iirc Yvan saying in the past RW’s shouldn’t foam, implying its a soap.

[@MikeGDetailing]

😂

[@diydetailofficial]

Technology has changed over the last 2-3 years. Now it’s possible to have surfactants in a polymer based Rinseless. Yvan isn’t sponsored BTW, he was integral in development of the DIY Detail line, and is a partner in the company. As for foaming, it’s definitely not required, it’s just a characteristic that many people look for.

Mike the only thing I’d wish is ADG would come down on their pricing o n: Fuzion and Wipeout. $64.00 per Gallon each.

[@seabrew1]

Just too expensive in my opinion. Its literally over double the price of ONR and Absolute in Canada. I think i will like those sponges. Not sure what one i will get. Have you tried the kamikaze black sponge?

[@MikeGDetailing]

Yeah unfortunately that is true of most products in Canada. ONR is still hard to beat in terms of cost especially in gallon format. I have not used that Kamikaze black sponge.

@@MikeGDetailing ONR here is just 16USD for 32 oz. Absolute is nearly the same with N914 like 3 or 4 bucks more expensive. Most products in canada are actually very similar to the US IMO.

Just an update looks like the gallon sizes will be much more competitive - just a little more expensive than absolute. I might get the gallon. I really like the packaging and I have learned a few things from Yvan over the last few years.

All the ones I have used work. They all get the paint clean. McKee’s N914 is still in my top 5. I the enjoy Absolute as it has some nice slickness under the wash media like N914. But DIY has grown on me very much lately that it seems to clean better than Absolute.

Hey Mike I really appreciate you taking the time to do the request of the product in a foam sprayer, means a lot. Also, nice video and point of view like always. I love Fuzion as a presoak because the foam gives me the peace of mind that is safer and have better encapsulation, looks like DIY is another good alternative. Which one you consider is more slick: ECH2O, Wolfgang SiO2 or McKees Ceramic Rinseless???

[@MikeGDetailing]

Foaming makes for a nice pre-soak especially if the surface is a bit more dirty. It also looks pretty cool and adds a little fun factor. I have not used the Wolfgang SiO2 but I suspect it is the same as the McKee's SiO2 version. I would give the edge to McKee's over EcH20 in terms of slickness. Not by much though.
