Yes I have them both downloaded and will be printing to make sure I do it right!

Would these do the trick? https://www.amazon.com/RAG-COMPANY-P.../dp/B00GXRG64I

Thanks!

Easy there… Don't overthink it… Both products are more than up to do the job… And you should have a few extra for doing other parts of the detail , other than just Rinseless...... that's why you need 10

Not sure why, but the orange version of these are softer. I've ordered multiple packs just to make sure it wasn't all in my head. Swear, orange are softer.

Another thumbs up for the Optimum rinseless. That's what I used on my car originally and liked it. I think I used 2 1/2 cap fulls in 2 gallons of water.

I recently polished with CarPro Essence and sealed with Reload, so now I'm using the ECH2O rinseless, which is also great.

Dang got 2 packs of blues, will get orange next! On the bright side, was blown away by the softness! Everything went well. Thanks for the info Glen & company. Excited w the (amateur) results and ease/quickness. I did spray the car down with a hose first but next time I might go straight to the rinseless technique. I've seen someone advocate mixing some rinseless in a spray bottle and presoaking the panels, does anyone do that?

Glen, how do you like the Carpro Reload spray for after you do a rinseless? I would just buy Carpro's one that leaves some silica behind but I have more than half my 5 liter of ONR left.

Hey, for those of you who use Griot's products, they have a new rinseless.

I don't see a need o presoak a panel with a spray, I just hover my dripping rinseless wet towel over the surface. I do spray the rinseless on my drying towel and on surface while drying for lubrication. I recently used DG Aquawax to spray wet panels when drying, per Glens recommendation and it worked well.

Would you use the DG Aquawax even with a "wash and wax" rinseless product? Also, are you spraying your drying towel with rinseless in the same concentration or more dilute?

A "drying agent" is used with the rinseless this way: Do the Rinseless and leave the car wet.....then take the drying agent and give each panel a few spritzes........now dry car with a waffle weave towel… Done....

Yes you can use the aqua wax with any Rinseless.

Using a drying eight is not every time, it's about once a month. Otherwise you get too much crap on the car .
