That is pretty ingenious! This type of process would definately be perfect for me due to being curbside w/no driveway/garage. Thanks Gary, you definately keep things interesting!!
My pride is in the details!

At the risk of making a fool of myself, you `dry` with a damp MF? Why damp?

An interesting concept...simple idea, easy for most detailers to use, almost fool proof (at least until they build a better fool) one of those things that makes you think...’why didn’t I think of that’.
If I were a Dragon (UK TV show) I would back this product. I’m sure you’ll have great success with this product

OIC.
Meant so thanks for sharing this great technique.

I am virtually deaf and did not understand every word Gary said although the video was worth a thousand words so I think I got the concept of what he was doing. The captions are all over the place so they were of no help. It looks like a neat way never to allow dirt to be re-introduced onto the paint but let me get this method straight and if I`m wrong perhaps someone can help me.
You start by putting a bunch of microfiber towels in your 5 gal. rinseless wash solution (one for each area or panel I assume?). I use ONR (new version) and lately I`ve also tried the Duragloss rinseless with AquaWax which I like a lot. You begin the wash itself by squirting a panel at a time with a waterless wash (I assume you mean something like PoorBoy`s Spray and Wipe). This is then wiped down with one of the wet towels from the bucket which captures the dirt and is then discarded, followed by a rung out but damp microfiber towel used for drying. The final step is a dry microfiber to completely dry and buff the panel. Could someone just verify that I got this technique right or did I miss anything? Thanks.
^^
I had the same question because I didn`t completely understood some terms you used (I`m french lol).
1- In that spray bottle: Is it a Quick Detailer? or it`s the rinseless solution diluted to a almost Quick Detailer dilution?
2- Let`s say the car is VERY dirty. I`m assuming you would start with let say a "foam/cannon gun" step so it can looses all the debrits and after that you would use that method?
I`m about to try the rinseless wash process/step (becoming Eco-friendly as I am getting older )
Thanks guys!

2.)If your car is really dirty you should revert to the traditional two bucket method with a foam presoak.
Eco friendly is awesome!

Interesting approach. Gary your method does try to address the people who dismiss waterless/rinseless as a safe technique with the pre-soaked multi-towel approach.
It seems the money here seems to be in mf towels as much as the wash product. Depending on where people buy microfiber, the bucket could have $150 worth of high quality towels if not purchased in bulk that would need to be washed along with the mf wash soap. I usually use 4 (upper, sides, lower, front/rear) mf wash mitts when I use ONR.

My choice for a drying towel is to continue using one of my waffle weave towels (Meg`s Water Magnet - $8 locally) instead of one from the bucket, and I`m using a Meg`s Supreme Shine MF as the final buffing cloth (3-packs are $7 online). Add to that the price of 16oz. of IUDJ ($20) and a spray bottle for the pre-soak (I use a Spraymaster bottle, so $6), and that`s not too bad at all.
Total cost all told? $77. Add $4 extra if you buy and use distilled water in the bucket and spray bottle.
Of course there are ways to increase or decrease that cost depending on how you choose to put together your system, but IMO this is very affordable. I use the Sam`s club MF towels for almost everything already anyway, have for years and I`ve never encountered any problems with them marring even after being washed with plain old liquid Tide detergent like I use for all my other laundry.
