What's the difference between RINSELESS and WATERLESS WASH? |

[@robpeluso2852]

Just got to try the DIY Waterless Wash for the first time today! Like all DIY Detail products it was amazing! The streak free wipe off with the ceramic protection was the best waterless I’ve ever tried!

[@diydetailofficial]

That is awesome!

[@jlb3675]

Will be using rinseless and waterless all through the winter. Will just depend on how dirty the vehicle is. Thanks for such great products.

[@diydetailofficial]

Thank you

[@TheBreakfastLover]

There's a video at Autoforge where you used the DIY Rinseless diluted 1 to 16 as a waterless wash in a foaming iK sprayer. Besides the ceramic part, how is the new Waterless Wash different?

[@diydetailofficial]

Waterless is designed to be used with dry wash media, the rinseless with wet.

Love the channel gents. Congrats on 50K. Keep it going. Avid DIY detailer here and watch ALL the channels out there, and of course subscribed to yours. Having said that I've noticed EVERYone on these detailing channels say "it's a solvent" or "it's a surfactant" or "it's water based". And by "it" I'm talking in general, not in reference to this video. Obviously we can "google" what these terms mean but I would love to hear it from you Yvan as you explain everything thoughtfully and in real life practical terms and examples, not like Webster's dictionary. Just a suggestion. Thank you.

Great suggestion!

[@diydetailofficial]

Thanks for taking the time to comment

[@neilwalker5041]

I really enjoyed this video and to be honest I am really ignorant on the chemical composition of most detailing chemicals. For years I have been using waterless wash for door jams and trunks. The product cleans way better than you think it would and the wipe off is easy. I will also clean the back of the interior trim pieces with waterless wash because it works well. When I travel a bottle of waterless wash and a microfiber towel are in the door just in case something happens.

[@diydetailofficial]

Good plan.

[@waltersiryk6959]

Waterless and rinseless wash great for my boat on a slip at a marina. Does not get traditionally washed until end of the season. Ceramic coated and rinseless and waterless keep my boat looking brand new all season!

[@diydetailofficial]

Good to know!

[@desi579]

Wiw that a freat idea Nick.use the Waterless wash to clean the drips that have fallen out of the mirrows or in my case side molding that gave dryed up. Love that use for it.

[@diydetailofficial]

Thanks for the tip!

[@iconz116]

Great video guys. Really appreciated and loving the products so far! For frequent dark purple grainy bird bombs where I park at work, would a properly diluted rinseless wash be sufficient to soak and dab away? Or would waterless wash be safer?

[@diydetailofficial]

DIY Detail Waterless Wash is safer in that case.

[@CyberMikey]

Love having a waterless wash because of two words: "Black Car" Keeps my OCD at bay keeping the black paint looking top notch 🤌

[@diydetailofficial]

True

[@ChampionDetailingOKC]

Absolutely love the videos keep it up. Are you guys ever going to come out with 32oz bottles? I love your products but just wish there was a bigger bottle size.

[@diydetailofficial]

Not in the plans, we will have gallons of all products soon. The reason for 16oz is the weight, 32oz isn’t ergonomic for the user.

[@Haydarov_Igor]

We definitely need in gallon size. In my vision I would ask and compare: what’s the difference between waterless wash and ceramic gloss quick detailer as a last touch up or drying aid?

[@diydetailofficial]

Gallons on the way, if it’s just streak removal, DIY Detail Ceramic Gloss is fine, if any cleaning is involved, use DIY Detail Waterless Wash

[@ChrisTech1985]

Hello guys, Good explanation of how the chemist designed them to each have their own lane and type of usage - design purposes. Chemically and mechanically the differences. Cruz on

[@diydetailofficial]

Thank you.

[@ScottKelley]

I didn't order any waterless with my DIY order this week... now I'm debating if I need to place another order to try it out.

[@diydetailofficial]

Now’s the time with our 30% off celebration sale.

[@ItsMeYourRealDad]

As quick detailers are designed to be used with dry wash media, what is the difference between waterless and an exterior quick detailer? Is it because most QD's generally contain a type of sealant/protection

[@diydetailofficial]

DIY Detail Waterless Wash is better equipped to deal with dirt, a quick detailer is only to dust a surface.

[@gspam154]

Been using waterless wash for years. Never once did a whole car with it, but use waterless constantly on all the vehicle areas you mentioned and when cleaning almost anything plastic in the garage.

[@diydetailofficial]

Thanks for sharing

[@gregsullivan7408]

Chauffeur with a black car - been using waterless for about 15 years, extensively, often when it's very dirty (but not caked in mud), and often with plain water. Works very well indeed, but it's slow.

[@diydetailofficial]

Good

[@bluegrasskid4835]

If someone has just finished using Panel Prep and is about to start applying a coating but notice water dripping, I assume they should only use a dry towel or possibly some more Panel Prep on a Microfiber and NOT Waterless on the Microfiber due to Waterless having protection in it which could inhibit the coating from bonding to the area the Waterless was used correct?

[@diydetailofficial]

Correct

[@rockysuds_detailing]

I had a client ask me about the differences on interior and exterior ceramic. They asked to use the exterior ceramic on the hard surfaces on the interior. I tried explaining the potential damage but they insisted so i ended up declining the detail. I was wondering if you guys could do a similar video to the Rinseless and Waterless

[@diydetailofficial]

Good idea.

[@jeffc6832]

Would most ceramic coatings reject the ceramic content of your waterless wash? Some people prefer to not stack protection on top of their coating.

[@diydetailofficial]

It will have a limited effect.

[@farukm7627]

Hey Guys, can you summarise when to use Rinseless Vs Waterless. And what to use for protection after each one? Thanks

[@diydetailofficial]

Waterless is to clean a clean car. DIY Detail Waterless Wash has a bit of protection ( short term). After DIY Detail Rinse Less Wash you can use DIY Detail Ceramic Gloss or DIY Detail Quick Beads

[@klasseact6663]

I've been using RW's since 2012, WW here and there w/ great results as well. That said, I just used DIY Detail WW for the 1st time yesterday and was truely blown away! My car was driven in the rain the day before and still wet here and there and I grabbed 6 TRC Eagle edgeless mf towels and got after it📢 First thing you'll notice is the color and then the smell...what an experience! It cleaned well and I used my Gauntlet towel for the final buff after each section. This stuff made my paint clean, glossy and SMOOOOTH❗️ I used over 3/4 of the bottle washing the car, door jams, engine bay and tires and wheels...FLAWLESS finish😎 Might have to get a gallon, if it's available, better save the bottle it came in💡

[@diydetailofficial]

Gallons are coming soon, thanks for taking the time to write that.

[@klasseact6663]

@@diydetailofficial thanks for the heads up, hopefully the value is there in the gallon size because like you said it'd not a cheap product when you look at the price per ounce but then again quality doesn't cost...it pays📢

For a fully ceramic coated vehicle including windows I been using RW for bug guts etc after highway driving on front grille and windshield . No issues switching to waterless for this with coating?

[@diydetailofficial]

No issue at all

[@GeorgePap99]

My question may be a little "unsafe" of a technique. Could you spray all clean or rinsless wash on a doorjumb for example, spray clean water with a pump sprayer (to avoid the mess using a pressure washer in some cases as mentioned) and then use the waterless to clean/dry the area? Would this be a safe washing method in cases where there's just a little worry the waterless wouldn't be enough? I know it would work, but I wanna hear your opinion on whether you'd recommend it of course! I guess spraying all clean/rinsless and not neutralizing with water in between is probably dangerous.

[@diydetailofficial]

Correct

[@GeorgePap99]

@@diydetailofficial Thank you very much for the response! I'm glad it can have its place in the process and actually improve efficiency!

[@mattheviewer]

How compatable is waterless wash with window glass ceramic protection? I'm very concerned about wiper chattering which has shown up with past glass coatings (glassparancy was particularly bad that way - my detailer's applied a new glass ceramic but is early days with it).

Very compatible

[@jont5320]

Do you have any sealant that would reduce dust for the exterior?

[@diydetailofficial]

All of them do to some extent, but dust is inevitable

[@junjielim7775]

For a freshly coated car(within the first 7 days before first wash). I know DIY rinseless wash has always been recommend to spot treat issues like bugs/bird bombs/tree sap. Can I use DIY waterless wash instead (More convenient as its RTU). Does anything in DIY waterless wash interfere with the coating curing process?

[@diydetailofficial]

It’s fine as well

[@junjielim7775]

@diydetailofficial thank you!

[@khaidirsaadam7360]

Any chance all clean will breakdown or weaken ceramic coating (eg spray type or even ceramic gloss)?

[@diydetailofficial]

It will break down sealants, but not coating

[@gregdedrick2150]

would it be appropriate to view waterless wash like a quick detailer for ceramic coated vehicles?

[@diydetailofficial]

Yes

[@paulbanham9678]

Hi guys I’m a newbie to your channel and have been watching your KZbin videos,question I have a VW caddy van long wheel base fully insulated low profile tyres (my baby) looking at coating with the 8 year then following on with the 3 year will one bottle of each be enough 😊

[@diydetailofficial]

Yes, resist the urge to apply it thick.

[@TT-mv4ps]

I wonder who will be the first to post a video detailing a cybertruck. Will the rinseless work on stainless?

[@diydetailofficial]

It works great, plus our metal ceramic coating is perfect for it.

[@desi579]

Where would the a QUICK DERAILING Spray be used then? In What situation would i pick up a quick detailing orver the Waterless? Beacuse both are almost marketed as the same.

[@diydetailofficial]

A quick detailer is not for cleaning, only drying aid, to add protection, and possibly very light dust removal. Just because many people use it for washing purposes doesn’t necessarily make it the best tool to use.

[@pocman6]

Can i use rinseless wash as waterless wash ie. Quick detailer: What's the dilution rate thanks

[@diydetailofficial]

You can, but it’s best to follow this rule: Rinse Less Wash used with wet wash media/towel, Waterless used with a dry towel. Rinse Less Wash is always 256:2 dilution 👍

[@404notfound.....]

And excellent product that's great to use!!!

[@diydetailofficial]

Thank you!

[@willdamian1066]

Welp been using my rinseless for all those bird droppings and water dripping after driving away 🤷🏽‍♂️ So waterless is closer to a quick detail spray but with better cleaning power

[@diydetailofficial]

Correct

[@jezza6575]

It would be amazing if someone maybe DIY Detail would develop a cheap disposable towel that we could use with waterless wash for bird bombs and bugs. Paper towels scratch paint! Am I missing and existing product?

IMHO, the need to add anything AT ALL to the water, is hugely exaggerated. I've often been using pure water, using the "waterless" (spray & wipe) method, and it still works very well. I'm a chauffeur with a black car. I use a VERY light touch, and it's a very slow process - recently I've been too busy so I've been paying for budget hand washes, and unfortunately it's getting swirled up at a higher rate than when I use my "waterless" process. Now, sure - if Yvan did my hand washes, that would be better, but I can't afford that kind of detail every day (or every other day). When I do add something to the water, I use a rinseless product, at the rinseless dilution, so that it's easy to remove the residue. (haven't tried the DIY product yet - I'm sure it's fine though) Yvan - in the video, where you show the dirty cloth after a wipe, you'd get the same result if you used plain water - how about you show us? 😀

[@diydetailofficial]

You get a similar result, but not as safe.

[@Adam-cn7it]

Do you guys think it’s safe to keep a waterless wash and microfibre in a plastic bag in my trunk during the summer months to take care of any unexpected bird bombs while I’m out?
