I don't always apply glaze, but when I do, I use a machine.

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...

Very nice Rich. I'm still rocking my PC. If it ain't broke, don't fix it...

Part of the fun for me is trying new things.  I subscribe to a monthy detailing sample distribution service that has allowed me to try alot of different brands and products without making expensive "mistakes".  I've found Adams makes great stuff and so do alot of other brands.  Do what works for you and have fun doing it...

Mike Phillips has a great phrase which I like to share with as many people as I can when I talk about detailing, and in general:
 
"Find what you like, and use it often"
 
This applies to all brands and products, the things that I am constantly buying from Adam's in refills I always use and I use them often, because I like the products.  If I have other brand's products that I use (example some correction products, sealants, interior regimen), I like them a lot and I use them often. 
 
Some guys like to buy a new polish, detail spray, etc just because they want to "add to the shelf" or "try something new" but in the end if what you like is already on your shelf, you will come back to it most likely, especially if it's been on the shelf for a while.
 
 
There's probably 50 different water displacement / silicone sprays on the market but I can probably say 99% of us have a can of WD-40 on our shelf, just because its what we like, it works well, and we use it often...

Couldn't agree more. Thanks for taking the time to post this, I've been wanting to say the same....

Get used to it Jason.  Your logic on the issue is crystal clear to me.

I would have to assume it will be discontinued once they run out of their current supply. Unless they are planning to cater to someone who wants to save the hassle of diluting a product. Then again if someone is that lazy I would doubt they are washing their own car and not letting someone else do it. 

Nice haul Matt, you will do fine.  And let us know how the tar removal goes, I am really sorry your innocent tar removal thread got closed for absolutely no reason. 

Care to elaborate on how clay is safer than a tar remover?

If quality tar removers were doing damage to clear coat, I assure you they wouldnt have lasted long on the market
Just the simple fact that you will ruin a $20 clay bar in a single use of removing tar when a $6 product could accomplish the same result and be used multiple times is enough reasoning for me. 
As always, to each is own and either method will work without too much trouble.

Definitely not, good point. It would obviously depend on the extent of the damage. I have had such good luck with chemically removing the iron and tar (in one step) that I wouldn't even grab a clay bar.

Congrats on your $20 spray bottle, it looks great lol.

Got a good laugh out of that one, good stuff. 

Lol. Back to hand polishing...

What method are you using? Two buckets and grit guards or Garry dean method?
 
Adding a few swirls is the only downside to rinseless washing and no matter how careful you are they will slowly accumulate. You should be able to minimize them with the Garry Dean method and taking care when drying.
The way I look at it you are going to correct your paint once or twice a year anyway and regular washing will do the same thing. I would rather be adding my minor swirls the easy way (rinseless)
 
Keep in mind it could be your drying step or your final wipedown step or waterless washing that's inducing the damage, not just the rinseless.
