What is Rinseless Wash?

It needs much less water than a traditional wash. It is popular for flats and garages without a hose. It works on moderately dirty cars. Rinseless products can also be used as a clay lubricant or drying aid.

How it works

Polymers in the solution lubricate and lift dirt, which is held in the wash media and bucket.

Why it matters for your car

Very muddy cars should be pre-rinsed first. Use several clean wash mitts or towels.
