I would now like to see a video of this process on a dirty car

[NikolaiJ]

Since I just bought myself a new foam cannon, foam, soap, and a box filled of microfiber mitts and towels I’m gonna just keep doing the old school method. The wife might lose it if I switch it up already 😂😂

[nickhinkel]

I went to one of Yvans training classes over a year ago and it changed my life and business for the better. I was doing so many unnecessary steps and wasting so much time. Now I'm able to detail a car in a fraction of the time while using far less products and get better results. I'm alot more profitable and at the end of the day I have alot more energy.

[Theonlywone]

I'm not convinced...
I'll personally continue to use my foam canon for a pre-wash, rinse, then refoam with soap and use the 2 buckets method.
To dry the car I'll use my leaf blower.

[fcg]

I kind of agree with Ivan regarding the probability of scratching the car with the 2 bucket method. I ceramic coated both my cars and I’ve been washing them using two bucket methods and applying Carpro Reload every month. However, I still notice very slight scratches even though I polished the paint on both cars to perfection before applying the ceramic coating. It seems even though the 2 bucket method is still the best way to properly wash a car and prevent scratches to the paint, there is still the possibility of slight dirt getting stuck on the wash mitt that still cause the scratches in the paint. I don’t think there is a “perfect method” of washing a car without leaving very minor scratches to the paint. I would like to see a video of your thoughts on using the sponge and a waterless wash compared to your current method of washing a vehicle. I still prefer the foam cannon and 2 buckets and in the winter time, if the car is not too dirty, I take my car through a touchless carwash to get the dirt off and then use the Ammo waterless wash system which works amazingly .

[DJR]

He made some great points. Pre spraying your car with rinse-less wash is a good idea to loosen non bonded contaminants and aid in pre rinsing and protecting the paint. Drying is also a crucial step and if not done properly can scratch paint. I use AMMO hydrate to dry my car.

Now where I disagree. I think soaps are still critical and a necessity depending on how dirty your vehicle is. Some soaps are more targeted to certain objectives like road salt removal. I also think foam does help break down bonded contaminants and help you safely remove them from your paint like a pre spray with rinse less wash would except soap and foam are going to break down larger non bonded contaminants better.

He’s right though in a lot of ways. If you live in certain areas of the World like Phoenix, AZ for example you probably can get away with doing year round rinse less washes with no problems. I think this technology needs to be embraced more.

Would love a rinseless wash walk through

[richandcarolmoon]

ONR is my go-to because my situation is different. My homeowner's association doesn't allow for car washing in my neighborhood (boo).
So my routine is 1) go to self car wash w/ pressure washer just for tire wheel treatment. 2) apply P&S brake buster to wheel and tire, scrub, rinse off 3) come home & apply ONR presoak in a pump spray, then ONR rinseless wash w/ big red sponge, then dry with turtle wax flex wax as a drying aid 4) finally, Chemical Guys VRP for my tires. Using tips and techniques that Pan has taught me. Thanks, Pan! Having fun and joy here in San Diego.

Rinsless will most definitely not work on an heavily soiled car with bugs etc, but im not cancelling it out as they can be very good for light soiled vehicles. Personally i would still use a proper shampoo, pre washes and the two bucket method just as its been my go to way for over 20years. Great vid once again Paaaan keep it up.👍🏼

[GSDadd]

I can only go off experience. My first coated vehicle 4 years ago was an F250 truck and my detailer introduced me to ONR and rinseless washing. It has served me well for the last 4 years and my truck, which gets heavily soiled, and has minimal scratching over 4 years. I cannot pre-rinse the entire car with ONR because of the climate (heat & sun) will cause it to dry quickly. I go panel to panel and spray ONR on each panel, and let it dwell for a period relative to the amount of soil on my truck, then start with my bucket & sponge. I will also say the big red sponge, or whichever color sponge you choose that is designed for rinseless washing is critical. I still prefer a designated “soap” for tire and rims due to the degreaser properties. I will also add, ONR has been one of the most effective window cleaners without leaving residue. Lastly, rinseless wash does lack the gloss, slickness & hydrophobic properties I prefer. Therefore, I do use spray toppers like bead maker & every so often I like to snow foam with Car Pro Lift to remove any of those toppers or to get ready for any decontamination. Go with works for you. I am simply acknowledging that regular rinseless washing has served me well for an extended period.

One question for Yvan: If polymers are supreme over soap, why do manufacturers add fragrance (I.e. Apple by McKee’s) to their chemistry? Before you say to add pleasantries for the user, isn’t the ultimate goal to take care of car paint and seems fragrances would introduce unnecessary residue into the polymer. Just an honest curious question.

In the last few years I have been using ONR Wash and Wax and the Big Red Sponge as my way of doing maintenance washes for my family's daily drivers. I like that it in my situation I don't have to drag out all of the tools (buckets. pressure washer etc) to do a maintenance wash. I also apply some topper such as Opti-Seal every other wash or so.

First off, Pan and Yvan both have wonderful personalities and I appreciate the help y’all provide (especially to a newbie). I’m an apartment dweller looking to get into detailing so rinseless tech is a God send for me! I think the beauty here is (although it seems comment sections and forums often forget) is Yvan isn’t saying this is the only way to wash— rather a new way! At the end of the day you need to enjoy washing your vehicle and if you find it more fun to have 7 chemicals, 3-4 buckets, grit guards, multiple mitts, foam, pressure washer and so on do it! I see it much like electric vs gas car. Electric is the new tech and can do things skeptics don’t like but if you like gas buy a gas car! Just understand eventually rinseless may be the standard much like foam became the standard! Thanks pan!

Really, really great video. When I first started detailing just a wee bit ago in 2018, I was looking to learn, and turned to YouTube, and by chance the first video I stumbled on was a TRC video with Levi and Yvan, and of all things they were doing this crazy thing called a rinsless wash with this three letter product. I was huh???? Who on the heck who are these guys. I didn't dismiss it, but I didn't embrace it. I watch all kinds of washing videos. It took about a year of taking in Yvan's videos, taking in everything in, and I started doing rinseless washes. I'm a fan of McK's N-914 and SiO2 rinseless. Next step is to get a steamer to assist with winter rinsless washes.
Thanks Yvan and Pan for laying it out on easy to understand terms.

[TC-pssd]

Would like Pan to do a video on this suggested wash process.

[JakeyDill]

Regardless of your choice of chemicals as the lubricating interface between your wash media and surfaces to be cleaned, the Gary Dean method is the only one that uses very little water and doesn't introduce the wash media back to your source bucket, nor does it dilute your solution. The GDWM can also be applied to traditional soaps, you just have to rinse off.

[MadkillsYT]

I don’t think I’ve ever been this early. Gonna watch carefully, picking up my first car in an hour😍

[Phoneman-ocfi]

I don’t have a garage so I need to always flood the panel with water, pressure wash all the leaves and crud off car, contact wash (bugs), and dry with leaf blower. Ceramic coating my car has made the washing process much easier and less marring because nothing really sticks to surface anymore. Maybe the sponge/ONR in the winter months but rest of the year no way that will ever work in my situation.

[miragexl]

There goes the income for promoting selling soaps. LOL. I love his first point that soaps are soaked, they're all about the same. Which I'm finding. Interesting video

[davidsinde]

I live in an apartment building and my car is parked underground. so a rinseless wash works for me. However I find it harder to keep the car clean and do a rinseless wash during our Canadian winters because of the road salt and grime.
