Hi Glen,
I thought the Duragloss rinseless had aquawax in it. Do we also need the aquawax separately?


Thanks!

Use the rinseless a while before you start adding other stuff. The rinseless contains some aquawax polymer but you can buy it separately and spray it on before you dry the car. That's called a drying agent. You dry and seal at the same time. huge timesaver. And it's supercharges the base sealant on the car. There's pictures around here of the 2 gallons I buy, 1 gallon of rinseless and 1 gallon of AW....probably last me 2-3 years

Any detailer will wipe on any sealant you want. But since they just wipe on , it's so easy to do , it requires really no skill. Doing this is no different than waxing your car when you were growing up, but much easier.

Exactly, anyone can do the BF CS! So easy to do...like Glen has said a million times, use sparingly and you will be fine. Worse thing that you can do is use too much.

I just put a coat of BF Crystal seal on my new camaro. Best stuff you can buy! The shine is incredible! I love the fact you can put this stuff anywhere on the car except the tires.
Next, for me is buying the Duragloss rinseless.

Rinseless is for cars that have dust or very, very light dirt on them.

Very dirty cars ought to have "real" wash. But rinseless...if done regularly...eliminates the need for many washes!

Thats what I kind of thought. Ok, so can I use my nice new micro fiber towels doing a "regular wash??? I figure i will hose car down completely, throw my 10 MF towels in some clean soapy water, and clean each section with a towel, then rinse??? Or should I save my nice MF towels strictly for a rinseless?? Thanks

Doesn't really matter. Just wash your nice MF towels.

I don't think there's a need to use a separate towel for each section of the car. probably overkill. A more effective method is to get two buckets. One for clean soapy water, and one to rinse the "just used" dirty towels/sponges before reapplying. That way you grab the soapy water from one bucket, wipe down a part of the car, and rinse off the dirt in the second bucket to prevent junk from mixing in with the soap.

And I usually use two 16x16 MF towels when doing a waterless wash...but others may use more. I'm not entering my car in shows...I just want it to look great.
