As above, what mitt do you choose for your rinseless wash? I'm New at this sort of washing. I've read From a normal sponge till a noodle mitt. I've got a Gyeon smoothie, megs washmitt and microfiber sponge.
At the moment its 1+1 in my lical autoparts store. So i can easy buy 2 extra noodles or mitts.
Thanks a&j, what do you think of the Ddj supernatural sponge? Besides, every grain is telling me not to use a sponge but all the reviews proof otherwise...
I rotate between a noodle mitt and a grout sponge that's been cross-cut into 12 squares. The latter was mentioned in an old post by a long-time ONR user and it works well.
I've found the slightly more expensive ones that come in a clear bag (£1.99 I believe) to be much better They are a lot softer which makes them easier to work tighter areas etc.
Maybe slightly more expensive, but I have always used the sponges from 'Tradetiler' when using ONR. Found them to work very well. Helps that I'm a ceramic tiler and can use them for work as well.
I am using one for about 18 months now strictly for rinseless washes and its still good. I have a backup ready for the last 3 months but still use the old one.
This what I now do Zeddd I feel happier with the clean mf for every wipe. I get two strokes from each side of the folded mf....lightly using the trailing edge. No swirls yet.
There was a post on here showing someone's method of using small mf towels singularly on each panel. So you start with 8 or 9 in your solution, take a towel, do a panel and then take the next clean towel for the next panel...
Then someone came along with a modification to that method by rolling the towel as you moved it across the panel such that the dirt didn't get dragged put just picked up. The towel was then turned to use a clean face on the next wipe and so on.
The towel is never put back into the clean solution to rinse it off and you only mix enough solution to thoroughly soak the number of towels required to clean the car.
You still use a pre-wash mix of the rinseless to soften the dirt before using the wash solution.
It is something I am going to try. I wasn't totally happy doing a rinseless wash but using many clean towels looks very positive.
