Great video and review Brian , just did a rinseless wash with Absolute this morning. It’s really great stuff I’m using ONR and my other Rinseless washes as a pre treatment spray now. Then using the Absolute in a bucket for the contact wash. The slickness and ease of use of Absolute is awesome. Do like the new DIY Rinseless to because of its foaming ability.
I'm using a capful of ONR & capful of Absolute in a 3 gallon bucket. Throw 10 microfiber towels in there. After I foam the car with P&S Pearl Shampoo,, rinse it down, then foam it again, I am using the microfibers towels for the contact wash. Then I rinse the car, spray bead maker on it as a drying aid, and dry it off with a gauntlet towel by the rag company. Your thoughts on this?
Thank you! I personally am starting to do more Rinsless washing then regular anymore but these are definitely great for winter washing when it’s cold outside.
Brian. I enjoyed your video as always. Great presentation, informative, and the demos including the camera work and lighting were “Fabulous” 😊. The effort and time you put in to make these videos clearly shows. One of the true greats in the industry.
Great video brother! That is next as far as rinseless washes that I want to test out.. slicker than snot.. I'm there! Oh BTW theose griots pfm towels are my go too for rinseless aa well. 1👍👍
Thank you for the video and as always you do a fantastic job explaining the small stuff as your working. Definitely a good looking product and I see why people are buying it.
Great video! I live in MN, so rinseless is a must have product for me and it is the only method I use for maintenance washes year round. I've tried pretty much every rinseless out there, but ONR has been my tried and true standby for at least the last 5 years. Then Absolute came out and I was blown away. As you noticed, it is so slick and that quick flash after drying really makes it a winner. ONR would sometimes get streaky, especially with a cold vehicle and the humid conditions of a garage with temporary propane heat. Opti-Seal was always the solution for this...but with Absolute I have not had any issues. No matter what I do, I can't get it to streak...even at 64:1 dilution on glass. I also love the short term gloss enhancing/slickness properties (that lasts for about a week)...yet it doesn't cause any build-up or change the hydrophobics of ceramic coatings (as noted by Pan the Organizer). This makes it a perfect option for people who don't like to mask their coatings with drying aids/toppers. For people who still like to use soap, Absolute works really well as a drying aid/detail spray when diluted at 64:1.
Our Truck sits a lot. Try to 'cycle it in ' once a week ish' and have wife or son drive it to work and back. I just did this using Absolute @ 1:128 between Rain Storms so no one Ride'n Dirty. Finished with light mists of Bead Maker upon wiping it off. Outstanding is what I say. Lol, almost want to 'Hoard' a little while Pricing is still low.

Great review! I haven't gotten into the rinseless washing since my garage isn't totally heated and I don't want to be doing it in 45 degrees! I do like the CG Waterless spray! Cleans and protects, plus I don't have to use a bucket of water! I tested it yesterday by driving in the rain and the spot on my tailgate stayed clean and no water spots!
Love the channel. Can you do a demo on how to clean the roof of tall vehicles like SUV:s and larger? I am only 5'4" and I haven't seen many videos showing how to clean SUV roofs and taller. Thanks.... great video BTW.
Thank you! I could make a video like that but not sure how I would since I’m 6’2” to be able to show how a shorter person could do it. I’m sure I can come up with something though.
This product has replaced all other rinseless washes for me. It flashes off faster and easier than many others, is slicker under the sponge (by a lot) and is economical.
@@Carlos.Rivera IMO, it has better protection than mckees 914 because absolute encapsulates with polymers where mckees doesn’t since it’s surfactant based. I haven’t tried DIY details yet, and it’s probably good, but the price is double what absolute costs here. There are other products that work well, don’t get me wrong, but for cost, and user experience absolute is at or among the top options. At the end of the day it’s personal preference.
Hi Brian great review, I was looking at getting a rinseless wash so I guess I'll have to try P&S because all their other products I've tried are very good 👍 😀
No you don’t have to I just like the way the soak up the water and dry the panels quickly. I like that they are 16x16 which makes them easy to maneuver on the panels. The ones I used are Griots Garage PFM towels.
I am just not sold on the safety of using sponges. How much of the grit actually makes its way down into the slits, 10 - 20%. I have been using multiple plush micro fibre towels and rolling the towel as you make a pass along the panel. Then fold to a new side, utilizing all eight clean sides. Once you have used all sides change to new towel, never introducing the dirty towel into the rinseless solution. if you like you can cap the bucket and reuse the solution. I can attest that this method is safe if you use proper technique. It has worked very well for me on soft Toyota black paint that mars very easily. Props to Gary Dean for showcasing this method on his you tube channel. Any thoughts ? Can you convince me that Sponges are safer ?
What I always say is if it works for you then keep doing it. I do both methods in fact I have a video coming out doing the multiple towel method. Majority of all scratches come during the drying process not the wash if using a high lubricity product. If your Rinseless product has plenty of lubrication and emulsifiers it will pull the dirt away from the surface when you wipe then leaves lubrication behind for your drying process. Hope this makes sense
@@FABAutomotiveDetailing I have not used a "drying Towel" since i purchased an Ego leaf blower. Now i blow the car dry, then chase the drips and spots with a drying aid, topper for lubrication. Applied with a 350 to 500 gsm plush towel. Automotive paint is getting softer and a lot thinner. I keep my cars for 10 plus years. So paint preservation is my top priority.
@William Bell I'm a maniac when it comes to my vehicles, I see every scratch and every little tiny bit of marring...but I do all of my maintenance washing with rinseless and a BRS/UBS and have never had an issue. I also have a test panel (junkyard hood from a Chevy truck) with that famous soft GM black paint. I've seriously pushed it to the limits, and I have not seen any marring when using either the Big Red Sponge or Ultra Black Sponge in combination with a quality rinseless like Absolute/ONR. Based on my experience, I fully believe in the rinseless process and I like how safe it makes drying with a towel. If you're using soap and blow drying, give Absolute (diluted 64:1) a try when you're chasing drips/spots. If there was any dirt missed during the wash, its going to provide a lot better lubrication than most drying aids/toppers.
@@jeffc6832 Thanks Jeff, great info. I will have to try one. It would be alot faster than folding towels. How long are they holding up for you? There not exactly cheap.
@@williambell7712 My BRS has been living in a bucket of rinseless since 2017, and I got the UBS right away when it came out in 2020 (it also lives in my bucket 24/7. Both are still holding up great with no issues.
Would really love to see you use Chadwicks signature car care wash less wash. I've used it for about 6 years now and am super pleased with the results. Would love to hear your thoughts on it.
Used the black sponge and the hdx weed sprayer, my black Cadillac 2011 really looks nice, you are so right, p&s nailed it. As I was doing panel by panel I was playing yout video in my mind mentally.
Rinseless doesn't mean you're not allowed to use a hose, it means the product does not need rinsing off the paint after cleaning panel. Use your water hose to pre rinse whatever pleases you then you can proceed with the Rinseless wash.
The only negative i've found that is it takes much longer to completely mix/dissolve in water than other rinseless washes. Maybe 20 seconds, whereas other brands take only 5-10 seconds.
I agree. People should give away beadmaker. If there was only a better FABulous TOPPER. Wish I could think of something that was TOPPER than beadmaker.
I just stared using the rinseless wash process. Definitely a must in colder climates. Your explanation and demonstration were spot on
Definitely a must for us up north. Thank you
Why?

ive used it and like the absolute product... i love rinseless washes as well... there are bunch of them out there that really work
Yes there are and we are lucky to have so many great options.
Absolute is my next rinseless to try. Thanks for the video.
You will love it. You are welcome
Good video, even after I used it I still like watching videos of it to find some tips or tricks others have found for this product. ✌
Great video brother! That is next as far as rinseless washes that I want to test out.. slicker than snot.. I'm there! Oh BTW theose griots pfm towels are my go too for rinseless aa well. 1👍👍

I wish I would of had some Beadmaker or Dreammaker when I made this video. Would have been a nice addition to the video.
Nice, I have to definitely try this!
You won’t be disappointed!

Thanks! It’s great that we have so many good options to choose from. Can’t go wrong with any of them really.
I love this stuff. Did a winter garage RW with hot Absolute and multiple towels.
It’s a great product! Very enjoyable to use
Thanks Brian for the great review. Take care.
You are welcome! Hope you are going good
Great demonstration. Looks 'ABSOLUTE-ly FAB-ulous! I've just ordered some, a 1 litre bottle.

I understand that. Warm water may help but rinseless is the way to go.
Thanks Brian 👍😁
You are welcome!
I got a bottle that I’m hoping to use for the first time this weekend. Looks awesome!
You are gonna love it!
Great review! I love Absolute! So easy to use and very slick! Great winter time way to wash your car.
Thank you and yes it is!
Best dilution for completely waterless wash? Thanks a lot!
That would be good for the HOG!
Yes it will be!

@@FABAutomotiveDetailing Thanks....I have ideas but I want to see how the pros do it first.
Is this something that would be better used for maintenence washes as compared to a deep clean?
Absolutely! This is more for washes that a car is to dirty for a detail spray but not to dirty it needs a hose and a bucket if that makes sense.
This product has replaced all other rinseless washes for me. It flashes off faster and easier than many others, is slicker under the sponge (by a lot) and is economical.
It have cleaning power, like DIY rinseless and Mckees 914?

Yes it is definitely slick and very economical. Thanks for watching
Hi Brian great review, I was looking at getting a rinseless wash so I guess I'll have to try P&S because all their other products I've tried are very good 👍 😀
Thank you! P&S makes good products.
It seems it does not release dirt from the wash media in the bucket.
It sure does. It was all under the grit guard
Best rinseless wash on the market
Right now of the ones i have used I absolutely agree with you but I haven’t tried them all “yet”.
Slicker (than) snot
Yes sir!
Slicker than snot on a doorknob!😎👍
Darn slick right there! 😂
Looks cool
Works even better then it looks! 😎
Where is the bucket from?
It’s a bucket from a company called Grit Guard.
Where can I find that bucket?? With the volume marks
It’s made by Grit Guard USA

Better late then never!
Great 👍video buddy tfs
Thank you!
Awesome. I absolutely love absolute. Pun intended. Really slick after using. Going to get a couple of those sponges. Use cheater wax as my drying aid.
The pun fits perfectly! Cheater wax is meant to be rinsed off is that how you do it?
@@FABAutomotiveDetailing Yes. Works great for the shower doors too.
I currently have a bottle of ONR and McKees, is it worth getting Absolute as well? Will I notice much difference?
I haven’t used McKees N914 but you will definitely notice a difference over ONR.
You should try hydra from Phoenix eod.. stuff is amazing on all surfaces !
I have an will be making a video soon on it also. I used it during the beta testing phase.
Seems like this is a commercial. How many people are rushing to buy based off of this video.
Yo FAB! stuff looks good! Slicker that snot?? That's snot nice!...lol...
Yeah it definitely is! 😂
@FAB Automotive Detailing hehehehe! During pollen season there's plenty that gets blended right in!...🤭
Brian, it has a coconut scent.
It smells so good!

Do you like this better than the DIY rinseless or no? Which do you like better?
