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.


    That`s a great breakdown Charlie, thanks. Great video Garry!

    Wow, I have not been amazed at a new wash technique since I learned about the 2BM years ago. I almost didn`t even click in this thread because of it. "Really? What NEW way am I going to learn how to wash a car..."



    I was thinking about this same/similar idea (using multiple towels with the combo of waterless/rinseless) when I bought a ton of "Scottwax" towels at Target (on sale, took the shelf!). But never did it even occur to me to think about stuffing 50 towels in there!! AMAZING. I was just thinking about how the heck I`m going to do more than 1 wash at corporate locations without getting a water tank, etc, etc. This is why I LOVE the forums, I would be still be washing my car with whatever soap I could find and drying it with bath towels.





    You literally just saved me about $1000 in purchasing. Next time I`m in need for some product, I`m going to try out some of your stuff just as a thank you!!

    I will be using that method with the dealer I do a little work for minus the damp drying towel.

    Nice video Garry, and thank you for the breakdown Charlie.



    I can see this being a really good idea if it is streamlined properly. Personally, with a small vehicle that is Opticoated [eventually], if you add a step of rinsing the vehicle, I can`t imagine you would use many towels at all. Not to mention with this method you`re adding gloss by using a rinseless/washless wash.

    I like that you think outside the box (bucket), Gary. Great concept and well explained. As I watched the video I thought of possible questions and arguments, but as I analyzed them I kept coming to the conclusion that your method has no disadvantages, only perhaps a few theoretical draws.



    My one suggestion is to change the wording when you mention "discarding" the towel after one use. Someone who takes that literally might think you are crazy.

    Are all those towels discarded afterwards? Call me a tree huger but that seems like a HUGE waste.

    Do you use this same method on wheels and wheel wells or do you do something special in those typically dirtier areas?

    Garry, my man, thanks for posting this. I did 8 cars (including a MASSIVE Ram 2500 and Hummer) this weekend and maybe used 5 gallons of water all weekend for the washes (wheels were done with pressure washer/soap).



    I`ll proably end up getting some more "bulk" microfibers now that I utilize this wash method, worth the minute investment.



    I look forward to seeing the wheel cleaning video buddy, thanks again. I look forward to trying out your products soon too!
