Somebody help me: The GarrY Dean Wash Method

Just a regular guy
I recieved an email asking me about the Garry Dean Wash Method. I have heard of this method and I know and like Garry, but I had never watched his video. After washing it the first time, I noticed that he recommends

-Presoaking
-Wiping with solution
-Wiping with a damp cloth
-Buffing dry

The presoaking was around for years, and the wiping with a damp cloth, prior to wiping dry is something I put in this thread (which debuted a year prior to the Garry Dean Wash Method) and something I have suggested for years.

I am trying to grasp exactly what is the Garry Dean Wash Method (the only difference I can kinda see is the specific towel folding). I know that several members on Autopia have expressed they use this "method" to wash their cars. Perhaps you guys could help me understand?
 
The idea is not introducing a dirty towel in the wash solution. I think that using a roll method is just as effective and you won't use 20 towels to wash your car.
 
What a COINCIDENCE!

So I literally made a video on it TODAY for people on the c5 forum. I'll post a link as soon as I'm done edits and uploading :)
 
Saves time by not rinsing your wash media, plus only one bucket. Can hold 50+ towels in a bucket with solution, cap it with a sealing lid, and you can be mobile and ready to wash without need for water access.

I wouldn't call it revolutionary, but the efficiency is outstanding. When I first saw it I had a "duh" moment, as I'm sure many did.

These guys have it. :bigups

I have tried this and it works well but I then have more towels to wash more frequently. The one thing I did notice though is that by doing it this way I can EASILY wash my car with only 1 Gallon or rinseless solution. When I do standard rinseless I find myself using at least 2-3 gallons consistently.
 
I have done the rinseless method twice now and still not sure if I am doing it properly. First time I used DPRWNG and I seemed to have a film left on the car, I used 2BM, pre-soaked panels, and washed and then put the towel in the rinse bucket, agitated, ringed out and back to the solution, washing and drying a panel at a time. Second time I decided car was too dirty and did a quick wash at the car wash to rinse dirt and the heavy road grime off. I decided to switch and use BFRW, 2BM and pre-soak again, multiple towels again but this time I used the first towel for the first pass threw it in the rinse bucket and then grabbed the 2nd towel from the solution and made another pass. Even though I rinsed car at the car wash I had a big improvement but I am still ending up with streaks on the car. Even though I pre-soaked and my MF towels are wet I am not letting the solution run off the panels which means I am probably not using enough. I really can't use too much to the point I have too much running off the bodywork because it will freeze to the floor (I heat my garage only when I am working in it and usually temp is about 20F). I may have to try using more MF towels but don't see how that will help when solution looks clean. I just wish I was able to hose it off but that is just not an option. How does the saying go "third time is a charm".

Dean. :wall
 
I have been using this with rinseless for about 2 weeks (3 washes) and since my car never gets more than a rain wash or water spots , I find 5 blue MF's do the car fine. I just retire them to a plastic tray and they get washed after.

After the above and before drying, I get unbelievable gloss by using a garden sprayer w/ waterless mix. I spray the whole car and dry with waffles...outstanding results:

Roshan - Nice video, thanks for sharing.

** Tip ** To help mix the rinseless product, pour the rinseless solution in first. Rinseless products do not tend to foam like a traditional soap.

Thanks for watching :)

I pour the solution in second and then just use the MF towel to mix. You think there would be a difference if I did the rinseless solution first?
 
How about this Todd, is this what you're looking for??

I've been using Garrys method for a while now and like the fact of using a single bucket. I use more towels but it's a bit quicker.

Using multiple towels and never putting a dirty towel back into the clean solution i had NEVER seen discussed until i posted it. I call it my method because it is the method I use and prefer. It is definitely a hybrid of several different techniques I put together into one wash method with my own personal flare. It is not for everyone, but it does save me time and effort while safely getting cars clean.
