Yeah I love to detail, stress reliever for me and I love seeing the results. I will let you know when it arrives, might need a few tips before I start, probably do it next weekend.

Already got some polish last night and a new foam bonnet for the buffer.

Love this method, I've been doing my cars this way for years! I am a bit OCD about cleaning my car and the 2 bucket system always seemed inefficient to me, I hated how the wash water would still get dirty and I really didn't like using the same dirty towel on the entire car. It didn't take long for me to just start using multiple towls in one clean bucket of wash water. Reading Glens write ups over the last month has definitely improved my methods and products used thats for sure.

this looks like a huge time saver! I will have to start doing this in the spring.
Thanks Glen!

I have to agree with you.......Rinseless or Waterless Wash is the way to go!

No thanks. I like to remove the dirt and crap not rub it in.
If my car was relatively clean and I wanted to touch it up before the cruise on Friday night, o.k., I can see the use for this product. My car is full of road grim, dirt and all the other junk from a weeks worth of driving, it gets a proper wash.

Yeah exactly...this is NOT for filthy dirty cars that have been neglected for months.

I polished the car and applied crystal seal the middle of last week. My car got rained on over the weekend so today I tried a rinseless with duragloss. My car still looks fantastic but my question is, when can I apply another coat of crystal seal? Is there a prep procedure for it or can I apply it right after doing a rinseless?
Thanks Glen!
