Rinseless or waterless wash question?

Is my car to dirty to do a rinseless or waterless wash?
It rained overnight and after the water beads dry I always get the dirty spots.

I wouldn’t do a waterless, but I would do a rinseless with 5-6 towels...(Google Gary dean method) Maybe spray the car down with rinseless first if you’re a little hesitant. I use a $15 Lowe’s garden sprayer for that.

Yes, too dirty for anything less than a full wash or at least spray it off first to remove the big grit, then wipe. I would rather drive it dirty until a proper wash than running a rag on that paint dirty, guaranteed scratches.

Rinseless is fine...avoid waterless unless there are just a few spots and you have high quality MF towels and a good product like Ech20...I think it is easier to just do a full rinseless instead with the same kind of product.

Used chemical guys waterless this weekend since I don't live in an apartment with a car wash port anymore. Worked flawlessly. Did it at night though to avoid the sun. Big believer now.

I use Griots waterless wash for spots here and there but never the whole car as a wash substitute.

Get a good rinseless wash like Ech20 and do a full rinseless wash once a week...you will never look back!
