I've always wanted to try out a no-rinse wash. I finally broke down and bought some of DP's 4-in-1 Rinseless Wash. I recieved a call last night from a customer needing his '69 Camaro detailed. He was going to attend a show and wanted it polished and re-waxed. This was the perfect candidate for this new to me type of wash. It's pretty much garaged but he does drive it about 2 days a week to work. There was plent of grit on it along with water spots. The tires and wheels were pretty dirty with brake dust. In my opinion, to dirty fro a quick detailer to be used. After reading a couple of other posts, I decided on a single bucket for this one. I wanted to go perfectly by the directions so my ShMitt was not used this time. I put 2 gallons of water into my 5 gallons bucket. I measured out 2oz. of solution and poured it in. There were no suds at all. I expected this. The solution was oily smelling. Sorta like olive oil to me. I dunked my micro fiber towel in and took it to the roof. No pretreating on this one. I rung the towel out some to get the roof wet. I did half the roof and returned to the bucket after drying with my Guzzler. Junk just came out and hit the bottom! I was so impressed with just this alone. I proceeded to finish the car working from top to the bottom. Then I did the wheels and tires along with the wells. This process took me under 2 minutes and there was barely any water on the ground. Simply an awesome process! There were no added swirls or marring. I'm very pleased and excited with this new product.
Next, I went on to finish the detail. Here's the rest of the story.
DP's Finishing Polish
(Used EDGE2K Blue Finishing Pad at a Rotary Speed of 1000RPMs)
Yes......a rotary was used. There will be an upcoming review on it with a few more details under it's belts. Let's just say it's the best 30.00 I've spent to date!!! I only wanted to polish and remove any existing waxes and grime. Plus, being new to the rotary, is why I elected to use such a soft pad. Even so, there still was some cut and cleaning. No dusting and ample work time. Simply a good polish.
DP's Max Wax
(2 Coats applied and removed by hand)
Having used Max Wax on this car in it's previous detail, I stayed with it. It had been 2 months and there was still an awesome glow. The customer loved the look as well. I put on on coat, waxing and removing one panell at a time. I then did the interior and came back with a second coat. Nothing but a wet, deep finish.
