What's P&S Absolute Rinseless Wash actually like to USE?

[@charleswelsch998]

After a 20 year hiatus from detaling, now trying to get my business going again, I've been drawn to P&S because of your videos. I love ONR and I'm excited to try Absolute.

[@huckzilla5438]

I bought this when it came out and have used it several times for a rinseless carwash. Product lives up to the hype and it's now my go-to product for weekly wash maintenance. The 64 ounce bottle will go a long way. Definitely more bang for the buck!

[@tvuser8653]

The cap holds MAYBE 8g of soap, and the density of the soap is about 1.14g/mL, so if you're using 1 cap per gallon, you're using about 7.01 mL ~= 0.24 fl oz per gallon. That puts your ratio is closer to 1:512 than 1:256. If you're overfilling the cap every time you're getting closer, but the lack of precision seems unnecessary

[@EireFirst2024]

I bought this & looking at videos only now 🤦🏻‍♂️ have to say it's brilliant..& VERY good on glass 👌🏻

[@boldstreetlad]

Hands down my fave rinseless but I should offer my user experience when using Absolute in the steamer for interiors...be very exact with your dilution here, it can leave a very hard to remove white residue on black interior vinyl almost like glue spatter, I use a Chief 125 machine which siphon feeds continuously as you go, so mix very well beforehand and you'll be fine but don't exceed 256:1 measure it out properly. But this is best rinseless on the market bar none and smells great

Could you put a Small amount of this in a regular bucket wash or foam cannon? And if so would it help?

[@jeffc6832]

You can probably apply it with a foam cannon for a presoak, but it isn't going to make any difference when combined with soap. I would say just skip the soap entirely and embrace rinseless washing. You can still pressure wash beforehand when needed, but the rest of the rinseless process replaces the need for soap entirely.

Most of the rinseless washes can soften your water; so, if you have hard water, it can be helpful that way.

What’s the dilution if you just want to fill out a 32oz bottle and not a whole bucket

[@mikeeonfiya]

246:1 ratio: - 32 oz bottle = 0.13 oz Absolute : 31.8 oz water For any size bottle, take the capacity number then divide by the two ratio numbers added. E.g., - 32 oz / (256+1) = 0.13 oz (rinseless) - 32 oz / (64:1) = 0.50 oz (quick detailer) Add the chemical and fill up the bottle until 32 oz. Another example is 24 or 64 oz bottle for interior cleaning & window @ 128:1 ratio: -24 oz / (128+1) = 0.18 oz -64 oz / (128+1) = 0.50 oz Fill the rest with water. You can use this formula on any size capacity, for example to top off any bottles if they’re 1/4 full.

[@alanburns2898]

Ordered two bottles of Absolute about a month apart and noticed that the second bottle, received yesterday, is significantly thinner and less milky than what's left of my first (probably a 3rd left and I don't think it started out thinner). Not sure if they intentionally changed something or if it was hot weather/shipping related. I haven't used the second bottle yet but it does make me a little nervous.

[@eurospec905]

If we were to address a “bird bomb” in an “emergency” situation - we’d typically use a waterless wash for one of the safer methods for example. I don’t see Absolute having a waterless wash dilution per se (not all rinseless formulations have that) - do you feel at 128:1 it would be safe in that regard. Have you tested any dilution ratios where you feel Absolute would be safe to use ad a waterless wash? Thanks TRC!

[@jeffc6832]

I would use the 64:1 QD dilution in that case. Hydrate the bird bomb as much as you can, spray down your towel and try to scoop it off. Then respray and wipe until clean. I really like the fluffy side of a creature towel for the dirty parts of this. Thick enough to be safe, cheap enough to throw away. Use a nice fluffy Eagle 350 or 500 for the final wipe once the poop is gone.

[@gregsullivan7408]

I'm a chauffeur with a black car - I just use plain demineralised water for bird bombs when mobile, sprayed liberally. Let it soak, then using a FEATHER touch, wipe back & forth. (I use a MF towel) If it doesn't all come off the first time, repeat as required. This works well for me. The key is to only apply extremely light pressure. If any simply won't budge, leave it for when chemicals are available. (I don't know whether a rinseless is any more effective than plain water or not - it may well be - I simply don't know)

Rinseless washing has never taken off here in the UK, for various reasons. But one thing rinseless apparently does is "incapsulate the dirt", if that's the case why don't people spray on this product then pressure wash it off, surely if the product does this to the dirt then using a PW will be safer and quicker than wiping with say 6 microfiber cloths ? But yet never seen anyone use that method.

[@theanonymousfilmmaker]

The idea of rinseless wash is to use less water, so pressure washing would defeat the purpose of the rinseless wash. In some areas here in the states, they have water conservation laws in place, which restricts water usage, so bucket/rinseless washing is the only viable means to wash your vehicle.

I’m willing to give this a try. What I don’t like about ONR is lack of slickness when using it. Also want to know. Do you spray bead maker right after when you wipe the panels before drying right ? As well, is it not better to throw in 15 towels into bucket and keep it all fresh and out dirty ones into a separate bucket for wash ? Not sure how much I trust using the same contact pad each time I go low to the dirty areas.

[@Detailers-Business-Academy]

Multiple towels have too many risks VS the UBS. Towels are not as safe due to pressure points primarily.

[@jeffc6832]

ONR may not feel very slick to your hand, but it is as far as the paint is concerned (as long as you aren't using too much pressure). Absolute has the added benefit of feeling more slick to your overthinking Detailer's Brain. Multiple towels work, but you need to be even more cautious when it comes to how much pressure you are using. The UBS is great at lifting and holding dirt until it goes back into the bucket where it fully releases it. This is where I really like ONR and Absolute, they let that dirt drop to the bottom of the bucket, below the grit guard. N914 holds it in suspension.

[@gunsmokezz]

@@jeffc6832 the pressure thing applies to the sponge as well. Does not make a difference a towel or a sponge. I just don’t buy the sponge being completely clean and free of all debris by just dunking it. For the slickness, I’ve been dropping a ounce of wolf gang uber to onr and helps with the slickness

[@jeffc6832]

@@gunsmokezz of course it does, but the thickness adds a layer of safety. Have you ever tried the sponge, or are you just making an assumption about it?

[@britishrocklovingyank3491]

I am going to try it but I am still not being told the advantages. In the info interview all that was really said is that it's new. Which is great and all but ONR is a new formula. I have some tests I am going to try and they where hard to come up with because really how much room is there for improvement? I don't really understand the slickness thing beyond user experience. I have never had a customer bring up slickness. I have never used ONR and thought, "Wow, this drags." Who knows. I might be so wrong I am forced to commit Seppuku in front of my family or rethink how I do things. That would be cool actually. So what is my point? Marketing is weird and us detailers are silly creatures who care about things that don't matter which is why we are good at what we do. We get stupid about meaningless details. One thing is for sure. You can pry Opti-Seal out of my cold dead hands.

[@jayhoughton558]

I don’t think you are wrong. Even now TRC admits ONR works just fine and it’s not like they are even replacing ONR with this. They are a business to sell products, and I would say they do a good job of ensuring they really only sell ‘good’ products. But if they don’t add new things they will just become non-relevant. So they must keep up with things, innovate where they can, and bring new things to consumers. It’s just good business. As long as these products bring some value to the comsumer I don’t see an issue with that. All that said, if you take ONR as the basic standard, and you look at what most of the ‘compliaints’ are, which are mostly user experience things, they usually are ‘it’s not slick’. Although I don’t agree it causes any issues with using it, when compared to N914, ONR simply isn’t as slippery. If users interpret this as a problem then it makes sense someone creating a new one would make that kind of a change (and others) to make the user experience the best possible that they can.

I've spent a ton of money on a bunch of different rinseless wash products, but nothing has ever eclipsed ONR for my personal needs. Absolute has a very different consistency and feel than any other rinseless, and it is very hard to describe other than to say that it feels much more slick on the surface.

Different chemical make up is the point they are making. As opposed to just copying the chemical makeup of another product and changing the scent. ONR is great.

Should they compare and contrast the different soaps they sell too? If they talk about differences, then people are going to get upset because it might cast ONR in a negative light (after they have been promoting it for years). Bottom line is this, both are extremely effective rinseless products that go about it in different ways chemically. This is an entirely new formulation with new base chemistry. Some people will like Absolute, some will stick with ONR. Some will use both! There is room for more than one rinseless at TRC...get used to it.
