  • No Rinse Car Wash :)

    Today as my car was reasonably clean, I decided that it was time to give my car a wash without using any traditional washing methods (i.e. not a two bucket wash, no snow foam, no pressure washer used, etc).

    I used a no rinse product, which you still have to use carefully in order to ensure you don't inflict swirls. I won't bore you with the technique here, as only wanted to show you what I obtained with one bucket full of water, no rinsing, that's it.

    Car was already wearing Autobrite Abyss sealant. After using the no rinse product, I then went over with Project 32 (strictly a spray sealant, but it can be used as a quick detailer as I was here). Windows given a quick clean and tyres glossed.

    For those of you that think I spend a minimum of hours on my car detailing (often true), this was about 45 mins effort tops, from start to finish.....

    What do you think? (it does help the car has been previously well prepped of course)......

        Is it the optimum no rinse you've used Clive? I keep meaning to get some as most of the time I could get away with a quicky :-).

          Yep, it is ONR Dan, but you do need to be careful with it, you can use it on a very dirty car, but then I think it takes a long time, as you must stop the moment you wash mitt shows the slightest dirt, otherwise you will inflict swirls. I prefer it when the car is pretty clean and only needs a light layer removing. Then it comes into it's own.
          If I'm doing a several day detail, (which is when the car needs a lot of machining), I will use it the day before resuming machining to remove any overnight dust, etc. Like I say I prefer only using it when the car is pretty clean......

          ps can show you ONR and technique when you come up Dan, need to get a data sorted...struggling with diary dates a bit!
