    I have been talking about this for a while now and its finally here for you all to enjoy!



    Over the past few months I have been tweaking my wash method and using it as a professional in the field. I also have multiple clients who are using this method with fantastic results over other methods. This is similar to what we all already know and love, but with some "Garry Dean" flare.



    I hope you all benefit from and enjoy this video.







    Thanks for watching!

    Looks interesting; I do something similar when doing straight waterless washes (discard the towel after each panel) with IUDJ and it definitely makes for more effective cleaning. Hadn`t thought about soaking the towels in rinseless solution like that but it does make good sense. With the "Gamma Seal" lids one could theoretically prep a bucket full of towels and leave it sitting there ready to go, just pulling it out as needed.



    The only tweak I might make to decrease the chances of marring even more would be to flip the towel after each individual swipe of the towel. As in, make one pass from the left side of the panel to the right, flip the towel, make a pass over the next section from right to left, flip the towel....



    Shouldn`t really take any more time or use any more towels, but it decreases the amount of "contact time" between the dirt and the paint once it`s picked up by the towel.

    I thought about that too, Charlie, but in my testing the towels seem to lose a lot of lubricity in drips during towel flips that could be better used on the surface of the paint.

    Interesting concepts Gary! :thumb:



    The average customer may have a hard time wrapping there head around it though and wont want to buy so many microfiber towels.

    From a retail standpoint, waterless products are supposed lubricate and envelope the dirt in the microfiber. That way you dont get marring even if you do go over the car surface again with a dirty microfiber.



    For the pro and prosumer, seems like your method is a unique and viable way to do it though to ensure no marring. Especially for the Accumulator in all of us.

    Thanks for your thoughts, Ben, but we all know that waterless wash products arent idiot proof...



    Actually, I have had awesome luck convincing my clients who live in apartment complexes to switch to my method. I offer the system as a kit with 15 microfibers. Its easier done than said.



    You definitely do not need 50 microfibers to make this system work... The average person only needs around 15 and they should be washed before the next wash.

    For some reason, this video makes me want to play Super Mario Bros.....



    Seriously though, nice video. This is a different approach than I`ve ever seen before, but it makes a lot of sense. I`ll have to try it.

    Great video and wash method, from my point of view it might even appeal to customers receiving the wash. Once I get more MF towels i might switch over to this method for my mobile wash/details.

    I can say Gary is spot on. I used his technique with two black cars before a Concours. Both soft black with rinseless and ready to use IUDJ. No marring. Cars were driven from Dayton to Lexington in the rain.





    Night before....





    Thanks for a great product Gary!

    Actually my pleasure. The third car wiped down sporting Bionic Banana Sheild. 1933 Alfa Romeo 6c Gran Sport Supercharged. Just saying I`m willing to use this technique on 7 figure vehicles.











    All three also wearing Tuned Performance Tire Gel.

    Thank you for making this video and another big thanks for putting it in the Guide to Detailing sub-forum. I have been experimenting with WW washes and your process has got my wheels turning. You`ve certainly brought WW to a higher standard.



    Now if Accumulator tries this then this will be EPIC.
