Junkman's "Pooling Rinse" Drying Technique

[Junkman2008]

Hey all! I have been asked about rinsing a car so many times that I decided to make a video showing my technique. I do this right after my final rinse, and then I blow dry the car. If anything is left, a simple microfiber drying towel touch up will take care of it. It makes drying the car much more manageable as you won't end up with a soaking wet drying towel.

 

Here's the video!

Sure no problem, Love helping out other car people. Those lights are plug an play LED's.

 

First find out what bulbs are in your car

Then cross referance what bulbs you have

I got the blue ones, I bought some from a corvette supplier and then thought to myself why am i paying the middle man just go to the top. Luckily this place is right by my work so i saved the shipping.

 

Sorry to jack your thread J-Man

[Junkman2008]

[Junkman2008]

I was wondering where you went...

Now if you mean that Charger and Dually. I'll have no problem.

[Junkman2008]

Just show me your paint flaws. I'll ask them to leave.

[EricJ]

I never had heard of the technique until now.

[randyfox]

I never had heard of the technique until now.

 

It's new to me as well. Luckily for me, I saw this before I set out to do my Civic in a few days.

[mciavarini]

This is amazing. Wish it would stop raining so I can try it. Thank you aj.

[BRZN]

Mother Nature's "Poling Rinse" just about to happen. A few more drops and the roof will be dry!

[FuhTeng]

Thanks to BRZN and mciavarini for reviving this old thread. I washed my car and the fiancee's yesterday and I KNEW I should check if Junkman had a video for this. D'oh! My great white towels are soaked.

[krewsman]

I will use this technique on the wife's Subaru tomorrow at bath time--anything to keep the car from turning back into a mass of swirls. Our hard water here waterspots in 30 seconds and just make a mess of the World's Softest Paint Black Forester.

I experienced some of that hard water this week. Had to buff the entire truck because of it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

After some coaxing...

 

 

 

 

 

 

The pooling rinse would have helped this a lot.

I think there are a number of folks on the forum who have very had water. Ours is hard here, but not as crazy as that AZ or SC water we have seen. Eeesh..

[mciavarini]

I just tried this. It works PERFECTLY. I mean there was no water left on the car. Think about it. You are drying your car with water... Just dribble the water out of the hose. Start from the top and it will collect the water in one puddle and slide off.

 

Another great video from The Junkman...

[Junkman2008]

Thanks for the feecback guys.

Yes, to make your car drier you must first make it wetter. It's hard to wrap your noggin around that concept until you try it.

 

 

I like this pic. Dylan has his thumbs up, but the Junkman has his "What else would you expect from The King of Shine?" look.

[Junkman2008]

Now that's funny Paul!

[camaro]

this technique is smart

I see that you are doing some research!

[camaro]

i have a science background & seeing the concept applied to my hobby is immensely gratifying

 

let me nerd-out for a second

 

hoyvin glavin flavin

 

what is going on here is called, "INTERMOLECULAR COHESION"

 

it is a property of water (being a polar compound ....means the molecule is not balanced) that causes it to lean on other molecules like itself...aka more water

 

you can test this out by dipping your finger into some water. After taking your finger out the droplets look like they want to hang onto your finger & stick together before their weight/gravity pulls them off

 

(that's honey but you get the idea)

 

you can also see it when rain drops accumulate on glass

Pool rinsing works awesome when done over corrected and regularly waxed paint.

 

I've got terrible hard water at my place. After doing research and reading/watching Adam's forums and videos, I've managed to keep hard water spotting down to a minimum.

 

Not rinsing any soap while washing helps a ton. Pool rinsing and thenusing detail spray immediately after helps a ton also.
