Just got a Bauer 1 gallon electric chemical sprayer from harbor freight for my rinseless wash pre spray, works great and I don’t have to refill as often as I would with my IK pump sprayer. Been using absolute and love it so far. Love your videos too and want to say thanks cause I have learned a lot from you. Cheers bro and keep up the fire content. 🤙
Our process has evolved from the traditional 2 bucket using a single mitt method to using 1 bucket with 12 presoaked Autofiber Double Flip Microfiber Towels to wash. They are 4 sided in 1,100gsm in size 8"x8" $13.95/3 pack. We rotate 4 sets of (12) for mobile exterior washes. 2 are always ready to use. 1 on standby in garage and 1 usually soaking in an APC rinse ready to be washed.
Good reply. I love rinseless washes for my truck and car. Unfortunately for some people (like myself) that have nerve damage with their hands/arms its easier for us to use a thick microfiber wash pad and/or rinseless sponge. Either way, I've been pure rinseless for nearly a year and haven't had marring or scratches with one bucket microfiber/sponge since then. fyi, living in PA I wash weekly regardless of the the weather.
Rinseless is my go-to method during the winter seasons however I haven't used any of the DIY detail stuff yet. It seems to be everywhere lately so I may give it a go at some point but with all the holidays around the corner and my wallet feeling the impact of inflation I'll probably wait to purchase it until the following year. Excellent video as always sir!!
Totally understand man they are fantastic products but they’re a little pricey. Good thing is they do go along way, so I guess in that sense it’s not too bad. Make sure to use my link and the discount code so you can save a little money.

I’ve actually had superior results with rinseless than traditional two bucket or soap method. I always pre treat the vehicle with the treated water and the dirt just melts off with the sponge. Be careful not to use too much ceramic drying aid as it will leave streaks. Less is more. I use one spray per panel and works to perfection.
Very cold, its 3 degrees here and we have salt and snow all over the roads. We have a challenge in the winter when we do rinse less. We have to deal with salt and other road grime. I just ordered some and will give it a real test. That vehicle is spotless compared to what mine looks like
How long would you estimate it takes to do a rinseless wash, including tires, and vacuum the interior of a mini-van? Excluding set up and pack up time. Thanks
I am not a fan of the sponge but rinse washing for cars not extremely dirty can be faster. I use multiple microfibers and once it comes out of the bucket it never goes back in. I personal love the new P&S absolute. Slick and smells so good.
My process for wheels is to still them them traditionally. I use a 2 gallon pump sprayer filled with water as my "hose" and brake buster and my brushes are in the wheel bucket with rinseless. Then spray it all down at the end. My BMW just makes so much dust it's hard to get them perfectly clean otherwise.
I usually use a spray on rinse off ceramic sealant for my maintenance clients once a month but I chose to use ceramic gloss in the video just to show the process. Usually I would use something like ceramic gloss for my wash and wax package. It lasts roughly 3-6 months. Durability is so subjective
Lets say I dont have access to water and the car has a good amount of build up and medium bird droppings. Would this process be affective? Can you pre spray with a degreaser/apc and rinse out with the rinseless, similar how you rinsed the wheels after agitation?? Thank you.
Nice vid! Quick question. I currently have technicians choice ceramic spray on the car but want to try the diy ceramic gloss. Do i have to take an extra step to get the technicians choice off?
I have used rinsless to clean windows some bird bombs but if you have alot road grime you need to use soap and water alot water to get that road film off and maybe a alkline or citrus pre treatment
Absolutely no rinseless wash has the cleaning power to remove stubborn road film especially on the lower panels. This is usually a oily/grease film and you really need something alkaline and/or strong surfactants to break it down. The rinseless can’t encapsulate this stuff like regular dirt it’s just sits on top and then you pick it up with the drying towel spreading it everywhere.
im in the process of starting up my detailing business, I live in Vancouver bc (well greater Vancouver area anyway) and the eco restrictions if actually followed (most of the wash guys out here aren't lol ) are pretty intensive.. I'm trying to set myself apart from the beginning, a being eco and allergy friendly , and b working on semis since transport is a huge industry here (in fact I'm a driver currently) I like the rinse less wash idea for cars, but how well do you think they would deal with heavily soiled vehicles and greasy and extremely dirty semis? my second question is what in your opinion sets the diy stuff apart from something like onr or the other rinse less wash products that are out there... couldn't you do the same thing by using onr and tech choice ceramic spray?
Yes you can do this with any rinseless and ceramic spray. I like onr the same as diy rinseless. I wouldn’t recommend rinseless for greasy vehicles. It won’t be strong enough.
I wouldn’t use a pure polymer based Rinseless on a vehicle with grease. But DIY Detail Rinseless Wash has quite a high surfactant count, it cuts grease as well as any soap.
@@StaySlickhow about best of both worlds. Foam with a good soap, rinse, then rinseless wash mixed with distilled water for the contact wash and drying?
Just bought a 2020 Black Range Rover and don’t know much of car wash and maintenance. The dealer does a great job every time I take it and keep it shining. I just don’t want to try and wash it myself and scratch it.
@Stay Slick hey man this whole time I've been subscribed to you I didn't know you also live in FRESNO!! Quick question do you sell detailing products as well or just services??
Hey G are you still doing youtube videos or are you just on Instagram??? I look for your videos and haven't seen none and I have my notifications on,,,, just wondering...
That was proposed for the original sponge made “Big Red Sponge” as a way to counter its stiffness,it would essentially soften it up and make it much more pliable.
The thing I don't understand about the black sponge is that it's counter intuitive. It's black, how do I know if it's dirty? The McKee's yellow sponge makes the most sense, you'll immediately see any possibly dirt that might be in the sponge. Do we wash our cars with black wash mitts? No, that doesn't make any sense, and that's actually why when I bought microfiber wash mitts from the rag company I didn't buy the grey ones. Dirt looks grey on the mitt, I don't want a mitt that already looks like dirt. I don't get it. At that level you're 100% relying on the soap/rinseless wash to protect you, because you can't rely on your eyes at all.
That makes sense. The problem I have is when I had the red sponge it became permanently dingy after the first couple washes so I was in the same boat anyways. 🤷🏻♂️
@@StaySlick Lol I haven't done enough rinseless washes to see what will happen to my yellow sponge. I'm trying to force myself to do rinseless washes and know it won't scratch. I've only done it twice so far. I'd be interested to see your take on rinseless washing a car that hasn't been washed in a long time. My brothers white Tesla was ceramic coated 8 months ago and he never washed it afterwards, he brought it over for me to wash and the power washer didn't even move the dirt on the car. Out of curiosity I sprayed N914 on it and it pretty much just rolled over the top of the dirt and didn't do anything. The type of dirty where the car was still white, but you'd swipe once with the wash pad. flip it, swipe once, and rinse it out. The dirt was just stuck onto the paint.
@@Hardcaslte yeah that’s tough man because we need to make sure we are getting proper maintenance especially on ceramic coated vehicles. In that situation you’re gonna have to use a higher pH soap such as carpro descale, Gyeon restart or chemical guys clean slate to loosen that kind of dirt. Another thing you could do is do an APC rinse on the vehicle ahead of your contact wash. Here’s the thing I am a proponent of rinse us washing on vehicles that aren’t too neglected. For example, if I went through some mud and did a few donuts that dirt is still fresh, so I would do a thorough pre-rents, and then a rinseless wash if I was dead, set on using rinseless wash. When contaminants have been sitting on the paint for months and months and months at a time, rinseless is not gonna cut it in my opinion.
@@StaySlick Yeah and actually on my car as my maintenance wash I just use Gyeon Q2M Foam and it cleans the car like crazy with no contact wash. The only thing it sometimes has issues with is if it's been raining and I get the little black dried spots behind the wheels, otherwise everything is like a contact wash, even the brake dust is completely off the wheels. Looking back I should've done that on my brother's car, it's the only thing where I think back and say why didn't I do that? For the rinseless wash on a car like that, you're right about the APC wash. I've seen videos of people doing that, for some reason it just seems super weird to me to flood your paint with APC lol. But that's only an extreme situation anyway. Anyway, thanks for the vids and replying! I always love watching detailing videos and learning more about this crazy hobby. Everything has changed since I started cleaning my cars properly 7 years ago, it's crazy.
If you have a muddy vehicle I would do a traditional wash if possible. If not then just do a thorough rinse of the vehicle before making any contact with the paint.
I think that rinseless washes add more lubrication and encapsulates the dirt while lifting is better than traditional soap and of course a muddy vehicle is a example of something you hit with a pressure washer first and then go in with your solution
Yeah bro 100% here’s the problem rinseless wash lifts dirt off better than soap it does but soap also does a great job if it’s formulated correctly. Where the scratching is induced though is the drying if people don’t use a drying aid, then they are scratching it while they dry, not so much while they’re washing it. Rinseless solves this problem because rinseless has lubrication in it and you are literally just drying up the solution, which has a ton of lubrication. I’ll be honest most days. I’m doing nothing but foam washes with a drying aid, but I am also a big fan of rinseless when it is necessary at the end of the day customers are paying for an end result not a process.
@Nick E Yes I know what a rinseless wash is I am a former professional detailer,. All derailleurs say rinesless wash lift dirt, no one can prove it yet.. Also are you telling me rinsless wash better that pressure wash ???
I take it you haven’t been to california lol. Plenty of mud here. In all honesty when my truck gets muddy I wash it traditionally with soap however this method would work fine on a muddy truck the difference is you should incorporate a thorough pre rinse to get off as much mud as possible just like any other wash. Ps rinseless is used all over the world in all climates not just California. 🤙🏽
Man, you should keep doing more videos. You got a great voice and great procedures.👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👌👌👌

That sounds challenging for sure.
How long would you estimate it takes to do a rinseless wash, including tires, and vacuum the interior of a mini-van? Excluding set up and pack up time. Thanks
Welcome back Sir🙏😇❤️
Thank you I’ve been sick
Great job! Man the rinseless was falling off the tires!
Yes sir thank you
would you upcharge the spray protection or its just included with ur wash package?
Once you have done the tire can you add your tire shine? Or is the tire clean enough for that?
I am not a fan of the sponge but rinse washing for cars not extremely dirty can be faster. I use multiple microfibers and once it comes out of the bucket it never goes back in. I personal love the new P&S absolute. Slick and smells so good.

How much does this cost for exterior only or what is a price range for this type of service?
Great video thank you!!
Thank you 🙏🏼
Did that electric pump sprayer work in the long run...i saw it on amazon with lots of complaints around malfunctions over time
Would this also work well with dirtier vehicles? I wouldn’t say extremely dirty but on a biweekly or monthly maintenance vehicle?
I’ve done it on muddy vehicles the only difference is that I still do a thorough pre rinse on the vehicle first.
do you charge extra for that ceramic gloss protection?
How long does it last?

Absolutely. I definitely wouldn’t do that in direct sunlight or with hot panels.
I try to the glass last since it doesnt scratch as easy as paint
Nice vid! Quick question. I currently have technicians choice ceramic spray on the car but want to try the diy ceramic gloss. Do i have to take an extra step to get the technicians choice off?
No you can apply it right over.
@@StaySlick thanks!

Does anyone know if ceramic gloss is paint shop safe
I have used rinsless to clean windows some bird bombs but if you have alot road grime you need to use soap and water alot water to get that road film off and maybe a alkline or citrus pre treatment
Not necessarily. You can do a thorough pre rinse and still rinseless Wash.

This is true most of the time. Luckily most of my maintenance clients don’t have that issue. It’s rare. That’s just my experience though.
I built a keg sprayer to spread my DIY DETAIL rinseless and it works well

Here you go brother. amzn.to/3Uth7Kn
What are the tires coated with?
Just “Premium” by Mirror finish polishes
How many people leave the sponge in the bucket overnight before they wash their cars? That's an interesting instruction.
Probably not a single person lol

What if you have a muddy vehicle?🤔
If you have a muddy vehicle I would do a traditional wash if possible. If not then just do a thorough rinse of the vehicle before making any contact with the paint.
Rinseless wash always induces scratches ... it is
a bad practice in my opinion, I know detailers don't want to hear this but it is the reality.
All washing induces scratches. That is the irrefutable truth. Rinseless Wash proponents believe it is a safer alternative. I guess we may never know.
I think that rinseless washes add more lubrication and encapsulates the dirt while lifting is better than traditional soap and of course a muddy vehicle is a example of something you hit with a pressure washer first and then go in with your solution
