You gotta try a rinseless!

Guys, every time I do a rinseless wash and the car is pristine in 15 min, I think of the guys who don't know about this. If you keep your car clean, this works. When it was shown to me, I thought " why have I been wasting time for so many years wth two buckets, hose, etc???" Use whatever rinseless you want, Adams, Blackfire,etc. it'll cost you 5 MF towels, some rinseless and one waffle weave drying towel.
Please give a read to the link below.

Enjoy, feel free to PM me if I can help.

Agreed!

I've been doing rinseless for years on all my cars.
Simple - Easy!

For me traditional 2 bucket wash is better but for people with no garage etc.. then i guess is ok.

trust me you will throw your old "2 bucket-grit guard" stuff out the window...why? because even with a 2 bucket your wash solution is still getting dirty, not with rinseless.... when you read the docs...

bring that car up to lauderdale and I'll wash it in 15 min, better than your hose....

For me washing my car is like therapy, is a couple of hours with the hose, water, buckets, soap, Armor All for the tires etc...

Thanks to glen's guides, I just got my nanoskin sponge, menzerna 3800, blackfire crystal seal, and duragloss rinseless in. Can't wait till it stops raining almost every day so I can use it!

Yeah, coatings are the mack daddy, but if you LIKE to detail your car, CS is great as you skip the buffing step which is a PIA.
