How exactly does rinse less dry?
Just wondering, I might get into rinse less.. But I'm a bit confuse as to how you get the cleaning substances OFF the car after your pass???
Glens article is helpful but I'm still confused.. I just pass the towel over the car and thats it? Dries by itself? |

Wash a panel, then dry the panel. You can blot dry, or gently wipe dry, both with good microfibers.
Here is a link with a video included that explains the process http://www.autogeek.net/how-to-use-rinseless-wash.html http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xl7Tej4AA5c |

You're essentially washing your car one panel at a time with a damp microfiber towel. Dry like you would normally dry your car, but do it one panel at a time.

You just don't leave that much rinseless solution on the car, a single waffle Weave microfiber dries the whole car easily. Rinseless is possible due to two new technologies: the lubricity of the rinseless soap and the pickup action of the microfiber towel.

I don't use rinseless (we have plenty of water here in NC) but I don't do another "Rub" event to dry my car. A high lubricity Foam gun application and a Blow dry removes that one step that can induce scratches no matter what towel you use. I know my friend Glen may disagree, but I've found the fewer times you touch the car, the longer whatever you use on it (sealant, wax etc.) will last...
I spend very little time Polishing, detailing, waxing my cars but they always look good because of the techniques I use...OCD types can ignore this information..

BTW, I've actually washed this truck 5 times in the 16 months/ 4K miles I've owned it. It lives outside. One coat of Klasse sealant early on, and Foam gun/blow dry everytime since...

Just make sure you use a good waffle weave towel, it is so easy with amazing results.

Advanced lubricating polymers and emulsifiers allow Adam's Rinseless Car Wash to safely and effectively remove dirt, grime, and dust from your vehicle with nothing more than a bucket of clean water. The formula lifts contamination away from your delicate paint and encapsulates it allowing it to be wiped away without risk of scratches or swirls. Thanks to the highly concentrated formula just 2 ounces of Adam's Rinseless Wash, a couple quality microfiber towels, and 5 gallons of water is all you'll need to
clean your entire car from top to bottom! http://adamspolishes.com/shop/exteri...-car-wash.html |

Those are yesterdays news...waffle weave towels work much better, and will not scratch the cars.

If you want the very best drying towel you can get, get a Microfiber Madness Dry Me Crazy. Expensive, yes. Quality beats everything else out there. You get what you pay for with this towel.

Check out the master blaster. It's much better than a leaf blow and it heats the air which is great for winter cleaning. Adams sells it and they have a 15% off sale with free shipping going on right now.
