, Tom! She's a beauty.

Welcome, Pete! The heat and humidity in South FL is otherworldly ?.

Welcome, Gunnar! Great to have you here.

Welcome, Ed!

Interior scrub mitt? Maybe use the LIC, too.

Sorry, Richie, I'm not familiar with the streaks. Any pics?

Yes, please!!

Actually, WW is green apple...but I agree the diluted RW works great. I'm not a big fan of the RW scent. But if the RW smelled like the WW, that would be incredible.

Welcome!

Welcome!

Believe he meant pH neutral. Adam's car washes are neutral. The only exception is SW, which by design is meant to strip wax, sealant, etc.

Well, 17 years ago certainly qualifies for "before" shots ??. But we all hope you can get her back to close to that.

Well, I haven't been shopping, but I have been hopping all day. After all, I do what the Adam's website says...

Reminder set! Do you have any pics of the whole car to share as before shots?

Here's a good discussion on this topic... Also of note, RW is safer for dirtier cars than WW, with the latter working better on light dust, fingerprints, etc. But don't use either one on the caked on stuff. RW aso has some gloss additives where WW does not.

I asked this same thing, and @Dan@Adams clarified...(at least for Adam's) they are NOT the same thing. One basic difference is in the name. Rinseless needs water to function in its intended form, WW does not. Diluting RW 16:1 will produce a Waterless Wash-like solution (and at a cheaper cost), but again, they aren't the same. The chemical components of each, such as emulsifiers, gloss enhancers, if any, etc., are different. The scents are different, too...RW is a berry scent, WW is green apple (and one of my personal favorites). Take a quick look at the product pages for more details. https://adamspolishes.com/adam-s-waterless-car-wash.html https://adamspolishes.com/shop/exterior/carwashing/adam-s-rinseless-car-wash.html I have and use both, for what it's worth.

Presumably, yes, but either can cause it. They are both highly effective ways to decontaminate so you can't go wrong either way. One key difference: if you drop the clay, it's general practice to replace it; one way to help is split it in half so you have a spare. If you drop the mitt (you won't since it fits in your hand...unless you're doing some really crazy maneuvers ) just rinse and keep going. Whichever you choose, just be sure the surface is well lubricated...DS or diluted RW 641:1 work perfectly. Bogtom line, you'll probably want to polish after either the clay or mitt, so the decision is yours on which one you'll use. The mitt is significantly faster in my experience.

I was afraid of that, but seems like you have a plan. Make sure you talk to the body shop about the amount of time you should wait post-paint before doing anything polish/protection/etc.-related to the new paint. Durations vary by shop. Looking forward to seeing progress, so be sure to keep the pics coming. Good luck!

Welcome to the addiction, Zach!

Welcome!

Welcome, Brandon! Beautiful car.

Welcome, Manny! I'm sure you'll find someone relatively close.

Yes, and LOVE it. My favorite from Adam's.
