  1. I think they were fibbing Roshan. I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this....I must admit I really like it.
  2. There's no way you could saturate both the panel and the towel with a spray bottle to equal the saturation of a fully submerged towel. If you did, you would have tired and cramped hands and a broken spray bottle after about 10 minutes. If the car has light dust only, use it as a waterless wash. If the car is dirtier than that, use it as a rinseless wash. If the car is dirtier than that, break out the two bucket wash. Its really not rocket science and should not be overanalyzed IMO.
  3. I havent tried it with Adams Rinseless yet but it works fine with the other rinseless washes I have tried it with. Just simply add a few ounces of APC to your solution just like you would with a traditional strip wash. The most important thing to remember is to make sure you get all the solution off the paint as you do not want any APC drying on the finish. I will let Dylan chime in here to make sure everything will play nice together chemically speaking...
  4. I am sorry I can't help myself. I love this product and I don't care who knows it lol! I'm confident this product will find a way into your detailing routine. Try this: do a rinseless wash 4 or 5 times in a row. Then on your next wash do a full out two bucket wash. I'm willing to bet as your spending half an hour setting up and cleaning up your washing supplies, you will start to really appreciate the convenience of a rinseless wash and will never look back...
  5. It smells as good or better than the original waterless wash. And yes, no need to do a full out wash before a correction if the car is only slightly dirty. Just keep in mind this product will not remove any wax or LSP on your paint so you will need to do an IPA wipe down after the rinseless wash before you begin claying or polishing.
  6. The time and effort saved doing a rinseless wash versus a traditional wash is substantial. And a rinseless wash is for times when the car is slightly too dirty for a waterless wash, but not so dirty that it needs a full wash. By all means continue to use waterless wash for light dust.
  7. Thanks man, I have used it 4 times now and I find more things I enjoy about it each time. It's really a great product. I want to do a direct comparison with the two other rinseless washes I have used before I flat out call it the best out there. I'm afraid the differences won't show up on camera but I may still give it a shot.
  8. Thanks for the opportunity Dylan, it was neat to be "in the know" for once in my life I too was surprised more people didn't figure it out. And for the smell, it's amazing but I can't put my finger on it just yet...
  9. Thanks Will - I often presoak as well especially when bugs or road grime are on the paint. This was mostly loose dust so I didn't feel it warranted a presoak. The solution is very slick and encapsulates the dirt very well.
  10. Intro: Well now that the cat is officially out of the bag, I wanted to go ahead and post my review and how-to for Adams Rinseless Car Wash. I was lucky enough to get a sample of this product a few months back to test and provide feedback to Adams. I am a big fan of rinseless washing in general, so I was pumped when I heard Adams was stepping into this category and looked forward to the opportunity to review their new product. First of all, let me make it clear the method I use in this review is not exactly the recommended method as shown on their instructional video. I prefer using multiple plush towels in one bucket of solution instead of using two buckets and grit guards. I personally like this method better because it assures you are always working with a clean wash media and your wash solution never gets contaminated. Therefore, the how-to portion of this review will be based on my preferred method. By all means, please use the method you feel most comfortable with when doing a rinseless wash because as you saw on the Adams video (and hopefully in my review), the same results can be achieved either way. Before we get started, a little background on the test subject. The car was two bucket washed and waxed about 3 weeks prior to this review and has since been in the garage collecting dust. It was taken for a quick drive the day before this review so it has a nice layer of dust and possibly a little road grime. Below is a pic of the general condition of the paint before starting. Given the car is not filthy and since the outside temp. was around 35 degrees, a traditional two bucket wash is unnecessary and uncomfortable. This is the ideal situation for a rinseless wash and it can be done in the controlled environment of your garage. You save time, effort and resources without freezing your buns off! How To: - Start with a bucket of clean water and add 2 oz of rinseless wash. I like to use warm water during the cold months. - Mix the solution with your hand or grit guard. - Add several plush towels (I prefer single softs or similar) to your solution and make sure they submerge and soak completely for a few minutes. - Remove 1 towel and fold it into quarters letting most of the excess solution drip back into the bucket. - Divide the car into sections and start at the top of the vehicle making light straight line passes over the area with one side of the towel. - Inspect the towel often and rearrange and reflip the towel as needed to ensure you are always working with a clean side. - Once the towel is completely soiled, wring it out and retire it from this wash. - At this point you need to dry the area you have just cleaned. A quick wipedown with your drying towel (I prefer great white or similar) should knock out the residue and leave a streak free shine. - Repeat this process around the car using a new towel as needed. For reference, I used 4 towels on my Camaro and it took around a half hour to complete. I am at the mercy of taking pictures in my garage, but I think you can see the results speak for themselves. And as long as you use proper judgement, quality microfiber and good technique, your paint will stay as swirl free as possible. - Use the remaining wash solution and some lower grade towels to do the dirty areas of your car last - like wheels, exhaust tips, etc. You can use your brushes and such just like you do with soap or wheel cleaners. Obviously this can only be done safely and effectively if the car is only lightly soiled. This stuff is not designed to clean heavy grime and brake dust. Review: My thoughts on the product were nothing but positive. I love the smell, color and performance. It is definitely on par or better than the leading brands in this category because it cleans well, wipes away easily and leaves a nice shine. You can go to your favorite LSP afterwords or simply follow it with a detail spray wipedown for that "just waxed" look. The dilution ratios are comparable to other brands and it also doubles as a waterless wash at a favorable dilution. The only negative I could think of would be the cost per use as compared to the other brands but if your buying and using Adams, your already fully aware its not going to be the cheapest option. But you know its a quality product and its backed with a 110% guarantee. Overall I give the product two thumbs up and would recommend it to anyone looking for an easy and safe alternative to the traditional two bucket wash for lightly soiled vehicles. Please feel free to comment or let me know if you have any questions about the review or process.
  11. Lol! All I can say is the product is legit and a serious contender in the rinseless catagory. Ok that's enough, my lips are sealed...
  12. I read that last night and thought " oh man I hope I didn't recommended the wrong product to Dave" lol. You got an incredible value. I can also say you will love Adams rinseless, but I can't tell you how I know
  13. F Don't forget a Rinseless wash can be diluted to be a waterless wash and a clay lube. And some are pretty decent quick detailers too at a specific dilution. A Rinseless wash is a must have product for a weekend warrior or a production detailer.
  14. Call the dealer immediately and cancel. Don't know much about the product you mentioned but it doesn't matter. They are just making money off you on the "back end".
  15. Welcome Kevin, what part of Tennessee?
