    Been a long time member.. going back several board iterations and have to admit, one of the more interesting plays on established water minimizing wash methods and simple to do and setup. Definitely going to give it a try.



    Checked out your site, would be nice if you had a summary table of all your products by category as your names make it really hard to understand the purpose of each product. The shopping center isn`t clear enough IMO. I was left head scratching at what was a wash, compound, sealant, wax etc. I get trying to be different but wow... some of the names really are hard to keep track of and understand what I`m researching. To the point, it put me off from even considering anything other then the infinite (?????) wash thingy. Also... don`t you have a rubber care product in addition to the infinity (???) concentrate talked about in your wheel video.. you might have wanted to highlight that dedicated tire/rubber product in that type of a information video; but that`s just me and my take on trying to get to grips with your system.
    Too many products ... too few cars!

    I agree with what you`re saying. I will be addressing this tomorrow. Thank you for your input.

    It should be faster. As Gary pointed out, you aren`t spending time putting the wash media back in the buckets or swishing it around. You`re just setting it aside and grabbing a new one. (In lean manufacturing that`s called externalizing a non-value added activity.) Most people don`t notice just how long that really takes or how much it adds up over the course of a wash.

    The beauty of it is that it`s not just for water minimizing washes. You could do the same thing for a hose & bucket wash.



    By using a stack of towels (or mitts or sponges...) in your wash bucket you still avoid reintroducing dirt to the finish, you still save time on dipping and swishing and you don`t even need a rinse bucket (just an empty bucket to collect used towels).

    seems like a great method. my 2 bucket system and pooling takes too long and uses a good amount of water. saw your video on the kia in the apt lot and i like the idea of being done in less than 30min

    It works well - but less than 30 minutes to wash a car - I wish I was that fast.

    Hi Garry, I want to try your technique with solely ONR and average microfiber towels from Costco. For drying I have waffle weave towels.



    Do you see any disadvantage to my approach? I`m thinking ONR may not be as lubricated as your product



    Thanks

    It works fine. ONR is safe... the towels are the bigger question. Just keep an eye on it.

    If you can, get the towels from Sam`s Club instead. Much better quality than Costco towels for paint use.

    I`m actually in Canada so I don`t have access to Sam`s Club



    How about these MF towels from eshine? eShine Canada: The El Cheapo Microfiber Buffing Towel



    Or would cookie monster towels be a better choice? eShine Canada: The Cookie Monster Buffing Towel V2.0 I usually used them for wiping off polish dust only though

    The El Cheapo towel should do the trick.

    Thanks for this. I just use this method and it`s such a time saver and a lot easier than the two bucket rinseless method. I just ONR with 3 oz of concentrate in a 4 gallon bucket. This method is great for the winter. We had our first snowfall a few days ago and the car was looking very dirty. Went to the coin-op and gave it a good high-pressure rinse to get all the snow and salt of the wheels and fender walls.



    Looks like I`m doing this method for the winter from now on and maybe even the summer. Using a grout sponge for rinseless wash just take too long compared to this method. Just need to get me a new bunch of El Cheapo towels.



    Just curious how much towels does it take you guys to do 1 medium size sedan?
