Sure if you want, but I don't want to waste the time myself, certainly looks good enough. Detailing reaches diminishing returns really quickly for me. That's why I can't do 5 coats of zaino, or something…I'll do it again in another three or four months

No Photoshop, no filters, if there's any secret , it's a good polish and orbital. However , on a white car you'll never get this kind of gloss, because you just don't have the reflectivity, stays cleaner though.....

That is the only thing that had me reconsidering my white order, but the white with black accents was just too badass for me to order something else

Was able to do my 1st rinseless last night. Was very impressed. Took me about 35 mins, taking my time. Was nice to do in my garage. Very strange the 1st time not using a hose, and a lot of water. Car came out great. BTW, used onr rinsless, I wanted to drink it, it smelled so good. Lol.

It does smell good enough to drink.
Have yet to use it though.

I'm about to do rinseless for the first time and have some questions.

I have a wax spray I used to spray down the entire car with after each hand washing then use a microfiber to buff it in after I dry the car; would you suggest continuing to do this after each rinseless wash or is there really no need to do this after each wash and may add streaks or not keep it as shiny?

Do you save any of the rinseless wash for the next wash in a week? Because it is uncontaminated besides whatever's in the air.

Also, is there any easy/cheap way to clean the exhaust tips? I used a tire brush which worked great but there was still buildup which wasn't coming off. I've read that using PAM and some tissues works.

Tried to search the forums, but found nothing regarding these questions. Thank you!

Just an FYI - at least once a week I get a PM or call, and the person says the Rinseless is "streaky" or leaves a film. Done right, rinseless leaves NOTHING (visible) on the surface. If this is happening, you used too much. You can't just "open the bottle and pour a slug in" as one person told me....Rinseless is very concentrated, and for example on the Duragloss, you only need 1- 1.5 oz in a bucket of water. If it leaves a film on the windows, use less. Dawn wash it all off and start over.

Remember the two biggest mistakes you can make in detailing, is not following the directions, and using too much...

BTW, as I like true optical clarity, I don't use Rinseless on the windows, just a good glass cleaner like Diamondite or Stoners...

I never liked stoners.
I use Mr. Clean. Moist microfibre with a little Mr. on it, leaves windows squeaky clean and dries with one/two wipes.
Never had any issues with it and if you use Mr. Clean with Febreeze in it you car smells fresh.
