    Rinseless - how wet are your microfiber towels ?

    I usually have my microfiber towels somewhat dripping wet. I re-wet them with a hand full of solution if need be. I don`t double dip in the clean wash water. I was watching a GDWM video and he rung out the towel a lot. Which do you do ? Does it make a big difference?

    I like using them soaking wet.

    Slightly dripping wet seems to be the best for me

    depends how dirty the car is. I prefer wringing them out to really damp status as I soak the panel with a mist from sprayer of rinsneless solution and I prefer not getting water into all the crevice.

    Just about not quite almost dripping a little bit
    Seriously though, not quite dripping or just dripping a little bit seems to work best for me

    A little drippy, soaked enough to squeeze some solution out on panel during wiping.

    As wet as wet can be. It`s sloppy by safer.

    Just shy of dripping. I`ll spray the panel with more solution if needed.

    I spray the panel before hand then use a Rinseless wash mitt instead of a bunch of microfiber towels. But I keep the mitt pretty wet.

    Same here. I`m far from expert level but I imagine the more lubrication the better.

    I do this as well. I squeeze the mitt just enough so it doesn`t drip all over the place as I move from the solution bucket to the car, but I want it as wet as possible.

    The only downside to keeping the mitt/microfiber towel really wet (besides a few drips) is that it makes drying the panel a bit more difficult. If your mitt/microfiber towel are just damp, then you have almost nothing to dry off, but a good waffle-cut drying towel should be able to handle even the sloppiest wash.

    That. Plus spraying the surface down with rinseless first. And note that I don`t use a rinseless until I`ve already pressure washed and then cleaned the surface thoroughly with the Foamgun/BHB (and often with the Foamgun/Mitt too).

    If I rewet the rinseless towel (which I`d only do if *absolutely certain* that it`s still clean), I use a plastic scoop that I leave in the rinseless bucket or the pump-up sprayer full of rinseless.

    Ok, i see you guys do about the same as me. I do spray down the panel before hand. Sometimes I use a garden mister which looses it`s pressure quickly, or I use a regular spray bottle with the rinse less inside.

    pgp- Not interested in using a larger sprayer? Mine is..what?...1.5 gallon IIRC, and it stays pressurized for ages, long after I`ve done a vehicle it`s still ready to go.
