No-Rinse Wash... Mitt or Microfiber?

I had been using a chenille dread lock wash mitt with rinseless but this weekend I tried a plusher microfiber towel (AG 530 towel) and it worked pretty good. Interestingly, it did not stain (retain grime) as much as in prior washes as the mitt did but maybe the vehicle was cleaner than normal.

Interesting, I've got a couple of 530's and was thinking about using the 750's ... I think I'll try using these two this weekend and see what happens. :smile:
 
I've been in the same boat as many others regarding the use of ONR. I finally took the leap of faith and washed my daily driver, using abour 3 gallons of water in a 5 gallon bucket, grit guard and about 2 oz. of ONR. I used the Cobra Chenille MF mitt. The car was my daily driver Taurus in Arizona Beige.

I took my time and thoroughly soaked the mitt and submerged it thoroughly after every panel to ensure a good rinse of the mitt. The car came out GREAT. I was thoroughly impressed. After every panel I dried the worked area with one of the Cobra Shamrock MF towels. This combo proved to be my new maintenance wash method. The surface is nice, I did not see any additional/noticable RIDS or swirls. For stubborn areas I may pre-soak a regular MF towel, soak it in this ONR solution and place the towel on the area to let it break up/loosen the bug residue, etc...
 
I have tried the microfiber mitt and the microfiber towels, and I prefer the towels with a no rinse wash. It seems like the mitt gets dirty quick, and I have more towels to switch out when they get dirty. Another thing that I do with this wash method is mix the DP rinseless wash and gloss in a large pump "weed sprayer", and pre spray each panel before cleaning. I also use a grit guard in my bucket of water/solution. And I change out the towels a lot to wash and dry the vehicle. I think this helps reduce scratching.
