Not sure where the confusion is coming from. In any case this thread is about Adams Rinseless Wash.

Just asking if you compared this version. That's all I asked and you answered thank you

New: Adam's Rinseless Wash Review

Living in Florida and being able to wash just about anytime I want I've never used a waterless wash or rinseless wash.

But I got to thinking / wondering if this product or a waterless wash would be good to clean my rims on a daily or every few day basis. While I can go days without having to clean my car (cleaned at least once a week), my rims are another story and it drives me nuts. I thought having black rims would be better at not seeing the dirt but it actually seems worse then MS painted color.

The wheels are well sealed/wax so the dirt is easy to come off during a wash with nothing more then soap and water but I wonder what I can use in between washes to keep them looking clean without scratching them.

My thought is to use my master blaster to blow off any excess dust then clean with a rinseless or waterless wash.

Any advice would be great.

Thanks!

That would be a good use of a rinse less wash

Another great write up, as usual. Putting a bottle on the list. I think you left one question unanswered. What the heck was for dinner?

My towel never goes back in the bucket after touching the paint, therefore eliminating any contamination possibilities.
How many towels did it take you to do this? And what type (since size would matter in this case)?

Thanks for your review.

I used six 16x16 towels. I did not do the wheels, but I would have used a low quality microfiber for that.

Thanks for taking the time to do the review, and glad to hear you liked it! For those asking... the product does contain a small amount of wax, which is deposited, so if you were going to try to make a direct comparison it would be more similar to the wash n' wax

Thanks for clearing that up Dylan. I thought both of the products were very similar.

Nice write up! It's nice to know I have another option beside ONR. I just wonder what the shelf life of this stuff is considering I only use this in the winter time like you. One bottle would probably last me 3-4 years.

Its safe to assume with most of our products, given proper storage, that they'll hold for AT LEAST 2 years without use.

Also consider you can dilute it down into a sprayable product which is great for cleaning wheels and things (even in the non-winter months) so you'd have a few more excuses to use it.

Me too, but by the time my ONR is used up the 'new and improved' stuff offered now will be 'old hat' and replaced with the NEW 'new and improved' version.
