You gotta try a rinseless! - Page 22

Weege · 06-21-2017, 10:18 PM

Glen, I'm following your Master Plan with Essence/Reload. I bought Meguires Gold Class for the regular washes. Can rinseless be done with Meguires Gold Class? Thanks!

Glen e · 06-21-2017, 10:23 PM

No...Rinseless is a type of shampoo without suds....get Carpro ECH02

Weege · 06-21-2017, 10:33 PM

Ok, thanks. Hose isn't a hassle for me and I have a full bottle of Meguires Gold Class to use up, but will graduate to rinseless someday. Thanks for all the help.

If you're spending the money for essence/reload, you would be better off with the ECH02 as they are all the same silicon family......And save the Maguires gold class for an occasional wash.

Yeah ditch the Mequiars...EcH20 is awesome and works well with the Reload. Also every few washes mix up some EcH20 as a detailer mix and spray on while drying as a drying aid, couple of sprays per panel is all that is needed. Will help dry faster and give the gloss/paint an extra boost.

I've used it several times and never had an issue with streaking. I'm using 6 good quality micro fiber cloths for the wash, and drying each panel with a Cobra waffle weave towel right after washing that panel.

I do exactly this as well. Maybe my dilution ratio is to heavy on the cleaner side and is causing it to be more of a detail spray that would require diluting? Is this a thing? I definitely go a little heavier than the recommended dilution ratio.

If you use more than 2 ounces of rinseless in the bucket you're using too much. I use 1.5 ounces in 3 gallons or so, and never get any streaking at all.....
I also take the precaution and don't do Rinseless in the overhead hot sun....

DougCBJ · 06-22-2017, 07:20 PM

i probably use around 3 ounces, i'll give it a shot at the recommended ration and see if i get streaking.

Hyper16 · 06-22-2017, 11:21 PM

Optimum rinseless wash with/without wax. ONE ounce to TWO gallons of water. Plenty enough to rinseless wash a Camaro.

Never a streaking issue although I don't wash in direct sun.

Any recommendation for a good microfiber towel & rinseless available on AMAZON to use for this technique? Free next day delivery is great and I want to do it tomorrow!

If not, I'll get the Supreme 530 referenced earlier in thread and CarPro and wait patiently.

I am considering these products:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BQYCKE8...ing=UTF8&psc=1

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...KIKX0DER&psc=1

edit: stupid question, if there's a reasonable amount of grime on the car and I do want to blast it with a hose first, is it OK to do so? Or the "rinseless" wash works best when starting dry. Even just saving the 2nd and 3rd hosing off would be worth it to me, and I'm pretty sure I got a scratch with my 2-bucket last time from retained dirt after cleaning bucket

edit: last question, anyone have a recommended microfiber detergent for washing these after a rinseless wash? And is it OK to wash them and the drying waffle-weaves together? thanks

I have the Optimum rinseless it's great and smells good too.

Wash and Wax? That's what I was about to grab. Just need a blessing on a good Amazon microfiber now...

Glen e · 06-23-2017, 06:31 PM

You need -at least -5 good microfibers.....read the document in my signature.

Both links from amzn above are good products.
