I guess I'm old fashioned. I only use a bucket of soapy water, microfiber mitt and plenty of rinse water. I enjoy washing my vehicles by hand.

For anyone questioning waterless or rinseless washing, here is a great video put together by The Rag Company and Optimum Polymer Technologies. These guys give very simple and clear reasons why soapless and waterless washing is good. I have been using both "Optimum No-Rinse" and "Optimum No-Rinse With Wax" for a while now. They will always be a part of my chemical regiment!

Has anyone tried NEXGEN?

Thinking about trying it out while it’s still on sale.

Be careful with that California Duster. They have a coating that attracts dust the first few uses, then you're spreading the contaminants you picked up and scratching your car... Good for ONE SHOW, then toss it...

And NDMIKE88... i see you live in Florida... easy enough most of the year to use water and a bucket. Not good in Western Washington when it's 42 degrees out and it's going to rain tomorrow, and the next day and the next day just like it did yesterday and the day before that and the day before that.

It's either waterless when one gets the opportunity to wash the car, .. FREEZE your hands in a bucket of water,....... or leave the car dirty

Different solutions for different parts of the country.

Feel free to start a new post with your question.. your question pretty buried at the end of this older post. Less people may see it.
