Quick question (sorry if its already been asked) - what do you recommend for cleaning the MF towels? Ive bought a 12 pack of towels from autogeek and some MF towel cleaner. Was the towel cleaner necessary or do you just use regular laundry detergent?

Regular tide, wash on hot, dry in dryer, no dryer sheet......

Again, there's a doc on this in my sig ....doc #6

Your towels will be softer if you dry them on the No Heat setting(air dry).

After much deliberation I think I may want to try this whole rinseless thing.

Now I just have to decide which to get. I'm a Duragloss fan but I'm leaning towards the Ultima Waterless due to it being concentrated and multipurpose waterless and rinseless. The Autogeekers seem high on Wolfgang Uber so I may consider that one too.

The Camaro will be parked come December for a few months but I may experiment with my DD and girlfriend's car for the winter. We'll see how much i like it.

Trust me they are all the same, just remember rinseless is not waterless…

I've read your articles on rinseless, bought the duragloss & mf towels and have done two rinseless washes since I got all the right stuff. I'm sold! I save a lot of time and effort and the car is just as clean if not cleaner than the old fashion way.

Thanks, Glen.

What do you think about the combination of using a steam cleaner and Optimum No Rinse wash?

[Glen e]

no idea...my cars never need a steam cleaner......

I would imagine any waterless can be diluted to a rinseless? The waterless appeals to me because I can use it to clean off excess brake dust. Many times this past summer the car was clean but the wheels were not. I was using ONR at quick detail ratio to clean them and it was effective but I don't know how safe it was. I lucked out because they are still in perfect shape.

I have pretty much decided that I'm not getting the Powerstops until the stock brakes wear out so I'm just going to have to keep cleaning them between washes.

No I have said it a few times up here .....waterless is not rinseless!, rinseless has additional slippery materials in it to be used In the rinseless procedure.... again they are not the same I have tried to water down waterless and it doesn't work....ONR is in the rinseless product class.

Get something on your wheels that seals the wheel. I've done this for two years now and it works perfect, and rinseless then works perfect using the procedure on wheels

I had Hydro2 on there and there was still dust. I'm convinced the key is to attack the source: the brake pads themselves by changing them. It was wearing off so now I put DG501 on it just to try. Don't notice much of a difference but boy are the wheels glossy now.

I'll probably get some DG rinseless to try. Anything with Aquawax has my vote. I buy that stuff by the gallon now.

Hydro 2 will not prevent brake dust, just makes it easier to get off with a hose. I have still fiund that a daily wipe/clean of the wheels works best, try to dry wipe the inside of the wheels, if I use too much or really any product with a wax in it, notice that it makes the brake dust worse next time I drive it, so dry MF towel usually works best daily, unless I go for a long drive and really work the brakes, then more needs to be done.

Correct...why would anyone think anything you topically apply would stop the generation of dust? That takes a pad change.....hydro, any sealant, Guyeon , AW or other stuff just puts a barrier on the surface so dust can't impregnate the surface finish...

Btw, this is a rinseless thread, I don't really use it to clean wheels ....only as a quick wipe shot....sonax, then hydro or Guyeon for wheels....

I agree and I thought that's what you were implying. I was trying to be nice. Other than the first week or so I got the car the wheels have been protected. It did help most of it hose off but I still had to clean it with my wheel brushes. I just put the DG501 on the other day but I'm expecting it will work at least as good, just not as simple to apply but I'd drink that stuff if I could.

I guess you answered the follow up question I was going to ask about cleaning wheels and tires with rinseless. I've already been kind of doing the wheels "waterless" I suppose but the tires seemed tricky without rinsing somehow.

Glen,
Wanted to ask you this (sorry not related to rinseless!), any advise on what is the best and easiest way to keep exhaust tips clean and shiny? Thank you.
