Junkman's "Proper Use of Waterless Wash" Videos

[Junkman2008]

Okay boys and girls, The Junkman is back with another video series. This time I cover the proper technique of using a waterless wash product on your paint without damaging the paint. A lot of people experience scratches when using waterless wash products (even detail spray), because they use it at a inappropriate time. Adam's Waterless Wash is an outstanding product and will yield exceptional results when used at a time that it was designed for. However, if you use it at a time when your car should be 2-bucket washed instead, you could end up being your paint's worst enemy. It is not the product that is at fault, it is your technique.

 

There are 2 types of dirt that will end up on your car: dust and everything else (everything else as in mud, film, a herd of bird droppings, etc...). Waterless Wash is made for dust. Things like finger prints or something else that has just landed on your paint (like that special sauce from a Big Mac ), can also be removed with Waterless Wash. If a major area of the car is covered with anything else, you need to wash it, especially a car covered with a dirt film (which is what you find covering the car after driving it in the rain). A caked on spot of something like bird droppings can be removed using Waterless Wash but you have to soak the spot real good and make sure that the substance is fully diluted enough to remove. Rubbing on it too soon will do nothing but scratch the paint.

 

Common sense is the key here. I can't list all the situations that Waterless Wash can be used for but after watching these videos, you will have a good idea. With that said, on to the videos!

Junkman, Finally got around to finding the time to go through the videos, great job, Thanks! I've got a question for you though: you're using the WCW like I'd use the DS. After the drive to the cruise-in, or show I'll wipe her off with the Cali duster then hit her with the DS. I'll use the WCW when I get her home and do the front clip and behind the wheel wells if I picked up anything there. You suggest using the WCW rather than the DS for dust. When would the DS be used? Do you have any videos showing its proper use?

 

I have one Cali Duster, had it for roughly ten years. I've washed it twice: by hand with cool water and Woolite in a large laundry tub. I just have trouble sending that thing across the paint knowing how much dirt is embedded in it!

[Junkman2008]

I would follow the WCW with Detail Spray at a show, probably not in the garage. The car should be clean and dust free so you would just spray on and wipe off the Detail Spray. No videos necessary for that other than what Adam's has done.

 

If you use the CA Duster correctly, it will not scratch the car. I don't care how dirty it is. I would buy a new CA duster before I'd wash mine. Once you wash it, that's when I would be leery about using it. At less than $30, it pales in cost comparison to painting a panel on the car.

I still won't touch my car with WCW or the Cali duster... Just too much work if I mess it up... lol I'm not a patient man so this would kill me. I'd much rather wash the whole car.

More great videos and even more importantly the imparting of "technique" - I had no clue on when or how to use the waterless car wash but I sure know now. Picked up a California Duster since my scar spends long stints in the garage and will definitely need some dusting - grabbed one while in AutoZone for $11.99 and then saw them in Wal-Mart the next day for $10.46 in all kinds of different colors.

 

Thanks again AJ!

This video/technique helped me alot! My truck stays outdoors but under shade, with this, Junkman, you saved me time and money! Thank you again!

[Junkman2008]

You're welcome gents!

Yes. Washing is best, but at a car show you don't have access to water.

 

AJ I've watched these videos so many times I can quote you. But one thing I've noticed. You don't show technique for doing the side panels or something that is a flat upright surface. I have a very difficult time keeping the tips of the cali threads on the side panels. Any advice? (I know that is a silly question! Almost like asking if you like food! )

[Junkman2008]

For the sides of the car, I use more of a swinging action with the duster, gently whipping the ends of the threads against the car. It takes a little practice.

[11chevz71]

It is better to hold the duster upright then on it side when doing the sides of vehicles.

[JerseyGator]

Thanks.

 

I dusted, WW'd and Americana'd (soley for therapy) my car last nite. Heading out to a show now the rain comes...
