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?
 
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
(using ONR)

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.

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.

The smaller one looked easier to store, handle was cheaper etc. I usually don`t mix up very much solution at a time. Do you use the sprayer with the long wand and pump handle?

Mine might be leaking or a poor design? I spray a panel or two or three, do a wipe and it`s needs to be pumped up again to displace what I sprayed. I am not happy with it and usually use a standard spray bottle.

I have both types.

The big one (long wand, twist-and-pump handle) just stays full of IUDJ mix all the time and it holds its pressure seemingly forever. Fully pumped up, it can cover a *LOT* of vehicle before I have to pump it up again. I wondered whether it`d be so big that it`d bug me, but no..I like it just fine.

The smaller one holds its pressure fine *for its size*, but that small size limits how much I can do between pump-ups. I bet that`s what you`re experiencing. I don`t use mine for detailing any more, just like your experience, it seemed to need pumped up so often that I didn`t like it better than a regular spray bottle.
