Hi Pan. Here is a question for you. When you wipe the sponge on the vehicle and then rinse it off not all particulates are heavy enough to sink to the bottom. Things like oil and other liquid contaminant’s even salt dilute into the solution. So essentially every time you put the sponge back into the bucket you put some of that back onto the vehicle. What am I missing here?
I love rinseless washing...if done correctly, on a maintained basis, I find it faster and an underappreciated benefit is its quieter. early on a Saturday morning I can wash my cars in peace and quiet
Exactly. If done correctly, it works quite well. As long as people use common sense. Here's my full rinseless wash tutorial including wheels and tires: th-cam.com/video/p58Y5qRd3OU/w-d-xo.html
Big fan of N914. As a Texas resident, it's my favorite weekly wash method in the summer as I don't even have to back my truck out of the garage. Does a nice job and I don't get cooked in the relentless sun. I do the multiple plush microfiber towel method. No chance of having something stick to a sponge/mitt and grinding it into the clearcoat.
Glad to see you brought up the multiple plush microfibers in your rinsless wash bucket as opposed to the sponge. I do this as well. No rubbing against the grit guard to clean and risk debris remaining in the sponge, use the microfiber for a panel or two, and move to a new towel. I find this the best method but to reach their own. I know I'll get flamed for this but yes, I do use my foam canon as a preclean and then pressure rinse that before I move to the no rinse wash. Just my method. I'm kinda ocd. Happy rinsless washes!
I love the flexibility that a rinseless wash provides. I normally use a 2 bucket wash method, but I add an ounce of rinseless to both my wash and rinse bucket to help soften the water, increase the lubrication and release dirt from my wash mitts. I've used them as a quick detailer between washes for bird droppings and bugs, an interior cleaner, a clay and wet-sanding lubricant, a pre-treatment, to increase the effectiveness of a steamer, and even clean my garage floor with a microfiber mop. I keep a 4 oz bottle along with some microfiber towels in my car all the time. I have 4 rinseless washes that I keep and use all the time including McKee's 37 N-914, ONR v5, P&S Absolute, and DIY Detail Rinseless. They are all fantastic and each has their own strengths.
I'm still using ONR#4 because I sat on it for awhile until I realized how awesome rinseless washes were. I maintain my daily driver throughout the week and can have it done in about 15 minutes! I go back and forth between the Ultra Black Sponge or Edgeless 350s depending on if I want to keep my bucket free of debris or if I don't want to worry about laundry. Honestly though, I love my Worx Hyrdroshot for knocking down high soils before contacting the paint with the wash media.
Yesterday I looked up this very product (on Pan)to be used as a lubricant on my neglected truck. Thanks for the knowledge, I have it mixed in an IK 3000 sprayer now and will be the first step before spraying it off. Thanks Pan!
Agreed! Those crevices are not capturing as much dirt, dust and fine grit particles as one expects. That is clearly seen by the *dark, dirty sponge surface on multiple wipes.* Open the cracks, and you see that almost no dirt is inside. Instead, the sponge is simply smearing those fine dirt and dust particles across the body panels with each successive wipe, which potentially causes scratches, un. When I use a water-less wash product, I prefer to use Larry Koscilla's method (AMMO NYC) with multiple microfiber towels.
Thanks for the video and for having Nick on. I'm going to try this as the weather turns cold and I'm not going to be out in the snow doing a full water contact wash.

@@PanTheOrganizer Came across your channel looking for information on detailing supplies. I've learned so much from your channel and I work at Detailing World and I carry pretty much all the high-end Detailing brands from Gyeon, CarPro, Koch Chemie 3D, Americana, IGL Coating, P&S, Rupes, HydroSilex and more.
Great video Pan! You and Nick tout the simplicity of mix for the sprayer by dunking it in the 5 gallon bucket of solution already mixed. Nick does this, and then added more N-914 to the sprayer. Obviously, this results in a different solution than the bucket. No mention was made about what the dilution ratio was that he was trying to achieve for the sprayer.
In this video, there seems to have been a little over 4 gallons of water in the bucket. As you can tell, the 5 gallon bucket is almost full. Nick mentioned that you need 4 capfuls of N-914 to equal 1 oz of product. And he only added 4 capfuls in the bucket, meaning he only added 1 oz of product in the bucket. And you need 2 oz of product for 4 gallons of water. So the 4 capfuls he added in the bucket weren't enough to reach the 1:256 dilution, hence why he likely added a bit more inside the pump sprayer afterwards. That's my understanding. Perhaps Nick can clarify if he reads your post. Watch my full rinseless wash tutorial for a more detailed overlook of the process, including dilutions: th-cam.com/video/p58Y5qRd3OU/w-d-xo.html
Just got into Rinseless last year and one thing I do to help reduce scratching is after the pretreat, I wash it off and respray before the contact wash. I do this when the car is dirty.
I like doing rinseless wash in between car washes to keep my car looking 👀 good! McKee’s makes a great product! Love the video ☝️ Great job 👏 my friend!
Conversely to the benefits of using rinseless instead of the 2 bucket method, I actually like to use N-914 in my rinse bucket to help break up the dirt on my microfiber wash mitt. I just feel like it's that extra amount of keeping the paint safe during a 2 bucket wash, especially since N-914 is so cheap.
I use McKees rinse less wash and wax exclusively. It is the best and most economical compound I have used in Tucson AZ. Nick is a great reference if you have any questions. I have found the you-tube demos valuable

Hi Pan, Great video! I use the McKee's 914 every time I wash a car as a prewash. Also use it as a spot clean if there is a little dust or light dirt in an area. Plus I seen your video on all the dilutions for different uses and created a cheat sheet. Thank you for all that you do!
At 9:04 the video is stitched, giving the impression that the sponge wasn't clean after the first attempt. A separate point: the sponge has cuts to collect and trap the dirt, but that doesn't work if you use all sides (4 - 6) of the sponge, because the cuts are only on two sides.
I love rinseless. With winter here in Illinois it's been my exclusive wash method at the moment. So far I've used a sponge with ONR and DIY with fantastic results. Everyone has their own wash method but when I saw the sponge being pressed against the paint with audible squeaking noises at 8:00 I cringed. I'd never use that much pressure for my vehicles...but to each their own!
Yeah many different methods. I made my tutorial for how I recommend a rinseless wash procedure here: th-cam.com/video/p58Y5qRd3OU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=fuS-xEC_9SFZip4R But I have access to a temperature controlled garage year round, so my preferred method is still the traditional wash with water and buckets and microfiber wash mitt. :) Welcome to my channel.

Was really waiting for the wash and wax rinseless cuz Nick wasn’t wrong when he mentioned it’s slickness and gloss compared to the regular rinseless. It’s truly a sleeper in the rinseless wash markets.

Excellent product and the peace and quiet of rinseless washing is a plus for me! I have washed some fairly gnarly vehicles with rinseless wash and they turned out clean. Yes some vehicles do need a hose prior to doing the contact rinseless wash but there was not any pressure washer noise. A video on the rinseless wash with wax would be cool too.
I find n914 is fantastic as a pre-treatment for nasty wheels before my initial wheel rinse with pressure washer. I use it the same for the paint (pre-treatment prior to initial rinse)
I use the 914 all the time now, I love it. I use it for a waterless wash and a rinseless wash both! I’m gonna have to try the yellow one with the wax in it next!
Yeah, or on very dirty towels, I like to soak them in P&S Rags to Riches microfiber detergent, in warm water, overnight, and wash them the next day, with the same detergent. Works wonders! Link to Rags to Riches: amzn.to/3rln42I It's my favourite microfiber detergent.

Love the 914 wash & wax during colder months for that added protection between washes. No coatings on my car and still it leaves a nice slick, glossy finish...even in winter.
Rinseless washes are a great alternative wash method for those who live in areas with heavy water restrictions/bans, or are apartment/condo dwellers that have limited or no access to water. But if the vehicle is super dirty, use common sense, you should pre-rinse it first before doing the rinseless wash. A rinseless wash doesn't mean you never rinse, it just means no rinsing is needed at the end of the wash process. See my full explanation in my rinseless wash tutorial here: th-cam.com/video/p58Y5qRd3OU/w-d-xo.html
@@PanTheOrganizer Exactly, like you said in the video if the vehicle has a thick layer of mud on top of it, a pressure washer should be used to pre rinse the majority of the dirt👍🏻.
This is another one of your great presentations that have motivated me to switch to rinseless washing with the McKees N914. The video raises 2 questions. Why did Nick add another “dash“ of N914 to the sprayer after filling it from the bucket? Also, he uses all four sides of the sponge when washing the car. With there being no laser cuts around the perimeter, does that not defeat, the purpose of the sponge’s design?
This was just a quick demo, as we had a limited amount if time. See my full tutorial for all the info, here: th-cam.com/video/p58Y5qRd3OU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Z9Ty4WUt2eo04tOg You shouldn’t have any questions after watching that.

Here's a test you could do or maybe make a video on ( would love the latter ) on whether rinseless is safe. Polish a paintwork preferably black and then get before shots, get it dirty and rinseless wash it. Finally show the after shots and then conclusions. You could add steps to the process showing how that affects the paint, like pre-treat, giving a 50-50. Would love to see you make a video on this.❤
I just cannot bring myself to try a rinseless wash on my car. I have a dark blue color and it shows every whisper on the paint. I’m terrified that it will further scratch the paint without a final rinse process. I’ll keep watching…maybe some day. :) After watching the complete video and reading a lot of the positive comments around rinseless washing…This might be a solution for my maintenance washes and to avoid the killer sunlight and heat of the southern USA. Thanks again Pan.
McKees uses soap surfactants to clean so you don't want it in the hottest parts of the world like the southern US. You would want something like ONR which allows for you to easily wipe off water spots as they're all spots from the polymer residue.

Pan I have become a huge fan of rinseless wash. I have not used McKees because I have so much ONR and DIY's in my garage. But as time goes on I am using it for so many things around the house too! I have used a lot of McKees products though just not this one yet.
This might be the way I go to clean my car. I would like to do a traditional wash but I think HOA will not allow that. I can do this in my garage in peace. Can you use the same dilution to clean the wheels as well? I guess you can add a few more drops in the pump sprayer to foam it up to apply on the wheels and tires?
I just coated my vehicle and have been looking for a new rinseless wash as I am running out of P&S Absolute. Might pick up McKee's Rinseless to try out!
@@PanTheOrganizer Have you tried out Wolfgang Uber SiO2 rinseless wash? I’ve heard great things and it looks amazing with the added SiO2 protection and slickness. It’s just a bit expensive
I haven't tried that one. Years ago, I had tested the Wolfgang Concours Series Uber Rinseless Wash (pink solution) and it was quite good. I had made a video showing how to make a quick detailer with it here: th-cam.com/video/Kn8wYn_P9Js/w-d-xo.html

Good material Pan. One question do you recommend the ik multi pro 2 only for the rinseless wash and not the ik foam pro 2 ? I’m assuming the one in the link is the ideal one for the rinseless wash. Thanks
Yes the one in the links is the correct Multi Pro 2. With rinseless washes, most don't foam, so you use a regular sprayer. You would use the Foam Pro 2 with foaming type products like soaps.
great video I never did spray a coating after the riseness wash always afraid to get it on the drying towel that it might harden and I'd have to throw it out
Don't confuse spray coatings (like Gyeon CanCoat EVO) with drying aids or quick detail sprays. In this case, with the McKee's, no need to worry about towels hardening.
It should last a very long time. You would replace it if you see it starting to disintegrate or brake down. As long as it seems intact, you are good to go. Welcome to my channel.

Great video. I came across this video because I’m looking for a easier way to wash in Southern California summer heat. Would you recommend using this method and product washing in direct sunlight in 80 to 90 degrees?
I would never recommend washing a car in direct sunlight or high heat. Always wash in the shade or a garage, on cool surfaces. Ideally you want to be as close to 68-70F as possible. Avoid washing at noon when the sun is at its brightest and hottest. Either very early in the morning or as late as possible in the afternoon. And if you want zero water spots, use demineralized, deionized, distilled or reverse osmosis water. See my video on car wash tips in direct sunlight: th-cam.com/video/DebiLFBCHu8/w-d-xo.html
That sponge looks like it’s made from pullapart packing foam… very resourceful. My local DIY car washes cost $8 each time, so skipping other time quickly pays for this product. I’ve never heard of McKees but I’d love to try it.
I’m a 72 year old newbi to all these Techniques. Getting a new Toyota. Do you know if they come w a clear coat from the factory. Trying to sell me a after market spray on protectant? I’ve read this particular ones not so great. Thsnks
Never purchase any extra that the dealerships try to sell you. They sell cheap garbage for high profits. Tell them to just wash the car, and do nothing to the paint. Either you do the detailing yourself, or bring it to a professional detailer for a true detailing. A new car is never new until it's properly detailed. - at the factory, the paint defects are often corrected quickly by rotary polishing which can leave marks and holograms, so polishing corrects those, before you lock that in long term with a ceramic coating for example. - vehicles are then transported by truck, train and boat so they are exposed to the elements, industrial fallout, brake dust, rail dust, etc - vehicles are often left at boat docks (when transported by boat) or in exterior parking lots for weeks or months, again being exposed to the elements - at the dealership, the vehicles are almost always poorly prepped using the same dirty water that was used for all the cars on a given day, and poor washing and drying methods leading to swirls and scratches - at the dealership, a layer of cheap wax or paint sealant is usually applied to attempt to make the paint glossy prior to delivery. It's crucial to remove any previous protection before you apply a ceramic coating, as coatings need to bond directly to a virgin clear coat. If you only plan on applying a regular carnauba wax or paint sealant though, you could decide to skip machine polishing, as those protectants can be applied over existing protection and it's not as crucial to prep the paint as well. I explain all of this in this popular video: th-cam.com/video/QgoyrC-5CMc/w-d-xo.html So you can better visualize the new car prep process, here are the steps I perform on a brand new car from two of my customers: Tesla Model Y: th-cam.com/video/gohks8xP5NY/w-d-xo.html Porsche 911 Carrera: th-cam.com/video/2ckiivbFqs4/w-d-xo.html Audi Q7: th-cam.com/video/t7HCBSVnizM/w-d-xo.html BMW M6 Gran Coupe: th-cam.com/video/0lC9uyKXs8Q/w-d-xo.html BMW M340i: th-cam.com/video/etXhJNaF0EE/w-d-xo.html Audi RS3: th-cam.com/video/641mAJfKDLM/w-d-xo.html Golf R: th-cam.com/video/jr19g4PWJsk/w-d-xo.html
The McKee’s 37 Graphene Coating Wax is unavailable on Amazon, any other suggestions for a good drying agent that adds protection to my ceramic coated car after I do a rinse less wash?
Use N914 as a rinseless wash to spruce up before a car show. Takes off the pollen and dust settled on an otherwise clean surface. Haven't seen any scratches yet either on PPF or coated surfaces. Nice product to carry in your trunk in a 5 gal bucket with the sponge and towels ready to go when you need it.
How do you deal with things like bugs and tar when using a rinseless wash? And how do you clean the wheels with rinseless? I’ve been curious about rinseless wash for a long time, but it makes me nervous about marring the paint 😬
Pan has several videos on rinseless washes. Some include info on bug spray products. Spray it on and let it sit a few minutes before following up with the McKees or similar no rinse wash. Other videos also discuss wheels and tires.
I can’t recommend it. My viewers wanted me to test it, so I did in this video: th-cam.com/video/7B0UaAcl0xE/w-d-xo.html Armor All in general isn’t that good in my opinion.
It will be a memorable moment when that happens for sure. A culminating point after hard work, passion and dedication. Ever since I started my channel in April 2016, I never skipped a single week of uploading at least one video on my channel. And I often filmed twice: in English and French. So this was back breaking sweat equity put into getting to this point. And I'm grateful and thankful to have my viewers along for this incredible journey, and I will be celebrating this moment with you all for sure.
If I can't get a hold of one of these specific sponges, how safe is it to use rinseless wash with microfibre towels soaked in a properly prepared bucket of the product?
You can use microfiber towels or microfiber wash mitts too, no problem. See my full rinseless wash tutorial here: th-cam.com/video/p58Y5qRd3OU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=9YTJKHqh70GUSJVu
Personally I would love to see something like DIY products, like no rinse wash or waterless wash because in my country cant find those products and import them is ultra expensive or imposible because restrictions
Hello Pan, I have a couple of questions. Have you ever used McKee's 37 SiO2 Rinseless Wash? and if so do you recommend it? If you haven’t would you consider making a video? Thank you
Pan, would love to see you spend more time talking about the pros and cons of each product that you review. In the past I've trusted your advice as an experienced detailer. This video gives me pause. A single bucket wash with a sponge on a filthy vehicle without even rinsing first - it just violates common sense. I wonder if you could have begun the video with some set up for when is the time and place for such an approach?
Hi Ryan. Rinseless washes are a great alternative wash method for those who live in areas with heavy water restrictions/bans, or are apartment/condo dwellers that have limited or no access to water.

I’m so confused by the amount of products out there. I would like suggestions as to how I should start out to buy products to basically wash my car on occasion add some form of protection and enhanced gloss and the maintain it, I don’t particularly want to start sticking up in film canons etc but I’m thinking rindless easy and the add some sort of protection every so many months. What are you thoughts, any suggestions? Geoff
Thanks for another good video. I notice that at the end of the rinse-less wash I have about 2 litres of solution left in the bucket. I usually fill this up in a bottles and use it for the next wash, or fill it in a spray bottle to be used as a quick detailer. Is this a good idea?
No, because the bucket most likely has some contamination in it even though the rinseless solution is supposed to pull all the dirt down to the bottom. I personally wouldn't gamble on it and you should add 1-2 liters less every time you fill up a bucket and dilute it.
I'm confused. Can you be more precise with which brand and product you are talking about? "Liquid wax flex" ??? Did you mean "Turtle Wax Graphene Flex Wax SPRAY"? And what "Cramic liquid wax"??? Did you mean Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray Coating? What liquid waxes are you talking about? Huge difference between a liquid wax, and a SPRAY product.
@@PanTheOrganizer yes i have meguires liquid wax spray on car and i want to apply graphene flex wax,can it fo on top of that meguires?sorry for my bad english
You can use a traditional microfiber wash mitt yes. See my full rinseless wash tutorial here: th-cam.com/video/p58Y5qRd3OU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=qS3aBygpmE33Dx8R

Hey Pan. i got into rinseless washes recently and I use the ultra black sponge but i don't understand if I have to rub the sponge against the grit guard or not. I've seen videos where they do it (like in this one) and other videos where they use a grit guard but don't rub the sponge against it. So, what's the correct way? Does it even matter? Thanks.
I think you're overthinking the moment in this instance. As good practice, yes you could scrub the sponge in the bottom of the bucket for extra safety. Just like you would with a regular microfiber wash mitt.
Hello Pan I use 914 for a number of things have been thinking about using it in a foam cannon as a prewash then rising off before foaming it for my 2 bucket wash just not sure how much to put in may PF 22.2 pressure washer is doing about 1.5 gmp any thoughts?

Hey Pan I have 4 gallons of the Mckees mixed up in a bucket with a lid. I washed my front end of car to get bugs off but wasn’t that bad. The water looks good still. How long can I keep this in the bucket and it’s still good to go? Or not worth it?
I don’t recommend using waterless washes. Rinseless washes are a safer option. See my tutorial here: th-cam.com/video/p58Y5qRd3OU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=MvtX-P1Gs2zUBYkA
People don’t understand the updated technology of the sponge and the chemical. Rinseless washes are perfectly fine and cause no damage when used with common sense.
Is it normal to feel grabby when washing at the bottom part of the car as it is more dirty?... I use p&s rinseless and I feel it doesn't really encapsulate the dirt at the bottom part and I still feel grabby even after I have pre rinsed it... It's definitely not as slick at soap and I had very high expectations on rinseless wash
If the vehicle is super dirty, you would pre-rinse with a pressure washer first. Common sense is needed with a rinseless wash as there are limitations. Rinseless wash doesn't mean you never rinse, it just means you don't need to rinse at the end of the wash process.
Hi Pan, was wondering if my car is covered in road salt during Canadian winter months, is it still safe to rinseless wash method, or it's better to go traditional way? Like a coin car wash. Thanks!
I personally prefer the traditional wash method at home, using buckets and microfiber wash mitts (that's what you see me do 99% of the time on my channel). If you have access to water, use the traditional wash method. If you want to use the rinseless wash method in winter, at least pre-rinse the vehicle first to remove most of the dirt and winter muck. Don't apply a rinseless wash directly to super dirty paint.
I've recently bought a car that has a Diamondbrite Ceramic coating; and this Summer, due to a hosepipe ban, (in England, would you believe!!) I used a rinseless wash for the first time - with great results. However I've read on-line that you should not use a rinseless wash on a ceramic coated car. But in one of your videos you use a rinseless wash on your girlfriend's ceramic coated car. So is it safe? Your advice and expertise would be most welcome.
It’s absolutely fine to use a rinseless wash on a coated vehicle. A rinseless wash is just an alternative method of washing your car. Obviously you have to use common sense. If the car has a layer of thick mud or dirt, you would pre-rinse before doing a rinseless wash. I still prefer the traditional wash method, but for someone who doesn’t have access to a pressure washer or garden hose, a rinseless wash is the next best option.
No worries. Who is Yvan Delacroix? Hehe. I think you meant Yvan Lacroix, the owner of DIY Detail (formerly working for Optimum). He's a good friend of mine.
Been going through lots of rinse less wash videos. Finding out what are the best products available and studying the best techniques to execute a rinse less wash....However all the ways that I see does have a draw back, for me at least. You see I do my car cleaning in my garage most of the time if not all the time. A rinse less wash will leave water stains on my garage floor tile which really bugs me. I bothers me seeing dry water stains on the floor and it typically leave an out line of the car from the drips....and if you clean the wheels I am sure you will get water stains around the tires as well. This is why I don't really do rinse less wash any more...I might as well pull out all the gears (water hose and compressor etc). At the end of it I will spray the floor to give it a good rinse. Sure more work but I have a clean car and a clean garage floor too. Just sharing my opinion. But I do get it rinse less wash makes sense for some conditions.
That wouldn't be recommended, as it's likely too dirty. Common sense is needed when using the rinseless wash method. If the car is super dirty, you'd have to pre-rinse first. Rinseless wash doesn't mean you never rinse, it just means you don't have to rinse at the end of the wash process.

Hi Pan. Here is a question for you. When you wipe the sponge on the vehicle and then rinse it off not all particulates are heavy enough to sink to the bottom. Things like oil and other liquid contaminant’s even salt dilute into the solution. So essentially every time you put the sponge back into the bucket you put some of that back onto the vehicle. What am I missing here?
Pan have you used the DIY rinseless? Seems to get great reviews.
I love rinseless washing...if done correctly, on a maintained basis, I find it faster and an underappreciated benefit is its quieter. early on a Saturday morning I can wash my cars in peace and quiet
Yeah, once I wash and wax my truck I keep up on it with rinseless washes.
Exactly. If done correctly, it works quite well. As long as people use common sense. Here's my full rinseless wash tutorial including wheels and tires: th-cam.com/video/p58Y5qRd3OU/w-d-xo.html
Hey Pan! Hope you're doing well! In your opinion, do you think this sponge is better than a quality plush microfiber?
Or overnight without bothering family or neighbors
Rinseless is my primary way of washing, its a great skill to have. Good to see this collaboration with Nick he's awesome
Yeah it's always fun to hang out with him and chat too!
Do you use microfibre towels, or the specific sponge?
@@Mububban23 I use the sponge myself
You can use microfiber towels if you like
Big fan of N914. As a Texas resident, it's my favorite weekly wash method in the summer as I don't even have to back my truck out of the garage. Does a nice job and I don't get cooked in the relentless sun.
I do the multiple plush microfiber towel method. No chance of having something stick to a sponge/mitt and grinding it into the clearcoat.
Glad to see you brought up the multiple plush microfibers in your rinsless wash bucket as opposed to the sponge. I do this as well. No rubbing against the grit guard to clean and risk debris remaining in the sponge, use the microfiber for a panel or two, and move to a new towel. I find this the best method but to reach their own. I know I'll get flamed for this but yes, I do use my foam canon as a preclean and then pressure rinse that before I move to the no rinse wash. Just my method. I'm kinda ocd. Happy rinsless washes!
I think using microfiber mitts and pads would in theory clean better than the sponge.
New to rinseless washing and I’d like to go with the multiple microfiber method as well. May I ask how many you use generally for one rinseless wash?
I love the flexibility that a rinseless wash provides. I normally use a 2 bucket wash method, but I add an ounce of rinseless to both my wash and rinse bucket to help soften the water, increase the lubrication and release dirt from my wash mitts. I've used them as a quick detailer between washes for bird droppings and bugs, an interior cleaner, a clay and wet-sanding lubricant, a pre-treatment, to increase the effectiveness of a steamer, and even clean my garage floor with a microfiber mop. I keep a 4 oz bottle along with some microfiber towels in my car all the time. I have 4 rinseless washes that I keep and use all the time including McKee's 37 N-914, ONR v5, P&S Absolute, and DIY Detail Rinseless. They are all fantastic and each has their own strengths.
The rinseless washes do not soften water....they DO provide lubrication when the water hits the dirt...but ti doesn't change water hardness
Pleasure working with you, Pan! - Nick
Same here Nick! Always a pleasure!
I'm still using ONR#4 because I sat on it for awhile until I realized how awesome rinseless washes were. I maintain my daily driver throughout the week and can have it done in about 15 minutes! I go back and forth between the Ultra Black Sponge or Edgeless 350s depending on if I want to keep my bucket free of debris or if I don't want to worry about laundry. Honestly though, I love my Worx Hyrdroshot for knocking down high soils before contacting the paint with the wash media.
Nick and Ivan are the main reason I use the rinseless wash method.
Two great guys! :)
Yesterday I looked up this very product (on Pan)to be used as a lubricant on my neglected truck. Thanks for the knowledge, I have it mixed in an IK 3000 sprayer now and will be the first step before spraying it off. Thanks Pan!

If I use a rinse less wash I would use lots of microfiber towels and not a sponge. Really helps prevent scratches.
Here's my full rinseless wash tutorial including wheels and tires: th-cam.com/video/p58Y5qRd3OU/w-d-xo.html
Agreed! Those crevices are not capturing as much dirt, dust and fine grit particles as one expects. That is clearly seen by the *dark, dirty sponge surface on multiple wipes.* Open the cracks, and you see that almost no dirt is inside. Instead, the sponge is simply smearing those fine dirt and dust particles across the body panels with each successive wipe, which potentially causes scratches, un. When I use a water-less wash product, I prefer to use Larry Koscilla's method (AMMO NYC) with multiple microfiber towels.
I'm really impressed it left no streaks on windows, really blew my mind
It works great!
Thanks for the video and for having Nick on. I'm going to try this as the weather turns cold and I'm not going to be out in the snow doing a full water contact wash.

Oh cool, thanks for the feedback. Cheers from Montreal!!
Great video Pan! You and Nick tout the simplicity of mix for the sprayer by dunking it in the 5 gallon bucket of solution already mixed. Nick does this, and then added more N-914 to the sprayer. Obviously, this results in a different solution than the bucket. No mention was made about what the dilution ratio was that he was trying to achieve for the sprayer.
In this video, there seems to have been a little over 4 gallons of water in the bucket. As you can tell, the 5 gallon bucket is almost full. Nick mentioned that you need 4 capfuls of N-914 to equal 1 oz of product. And he only added 4 capfuls in the bucket, meaning he only added 1 oz of product in the bucket.
And you need 2 oz of product for 4 gallons of water. So the 4 capfuls he added in the bucket weren't enough to reach the 1:256 dilution, hence why he likely added a bit more inside the pump sprayer afterwards. That's my understanding. Perhaps Nick can clarify if he reads your post.
Watch my full rinseless wash tutorial for a more detailed overlook of the process, including dilutions: th-cam.com/video/p58Y5qRd3OU/w-d-xo.html
Just got into Rinseless last year and one thing I do to help reduce scratching is after the pretreat, I wash it off and respray before the contact wash. I do this when the car is dirty.
Thanks Pam,..Something I have been contemplating for some time. This video is great as always....

Thanks Danny!
I haven't tried it on a dark colored vehicle as of yet. Good products.
Yet another awesome episode of Paaannn the Organizer
Thanks Richard!! :) Always nice to have your continued support.
McKees has such a great rinseless system that's hard to beat, my back definitely appreciates that cart as well! 😄
The cart is a game changer indeed! - Nick
Conversely to the benefits of using rinseless instead of the 2 bucket method, I actually like to use N-914 in my rinse bucket to help break up the dirt on my microfiber wash mitt. I just feel like it's that extra amount of keeping the paint safe during a 2 bucket wash, especially since N-914 is so cheap.
Great application tip! - Nick
I use McKees rinse less wash and wax exclusively. It is the best and most economical compound I have used in Tucson AZ. Nick is a great reference if you have any questions. I have found the you-tube demos valuable

Hi Pan, Great video! I use the McKee's 914 every time I wash a car as a prewash. Also use it as a spot clean if there is a little dust or light dirt in an area. Plus I seen your video on all the dilutions for different uses and created a cheat sheet. Thank you for all that you do!
Thanks for sharing Charles! Glad to hear that my video on multiple uses for rinseless washes is helpful.
At 9:04 the video is stitched, giving the impression that the sponge wasn't clean after the first attempt.
A separate point: the sponge has cuts to collect and trap the dirt, but that doesn't work if you use all sides (4 - 6) of the sponge, because the cuts are only on two sides.
I love rinseless. With winter here in Illinois it's been my exclusive wash method at the moment. So far I've used a sponge with ONR and DIY with fantastic results. Everyone has their own wash method but when I saw the sponge being pressed against the paint with audible squeaking noises at 8:00 I cringed. I'd never use that much pressure for my vehicles...but to each their own!
Yeah many different methods. I made my tutorial for how I recommend a rinseless wash procedure here: th-cam.com/video/p58Y5qRd3OU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=fuS-xEC_9SFZip4R
But I have access to a temperature controlled garage year round, so my preferred method is still the traditional wash with water and buckets and microfiber wash mitt. :)

Excellent product and the peace and quiet of rinseless washing is a plus for me! I have washed some fairly gnarly vehicles with rinseless wash and they turned out clean. Yes some vehicles do need a hose prior to doing the contact rinseless wash but there was not any pressure washer noise. A video on the rinseless wash with wax would be cool too.

I find n914 is fantastic as a pre-treatment for nasty wheels before my initial wheel rinse with pressure washer. I use it the same for the paint (pre-treatment prior to initial rinse)
Awesome! Wait until you try it as a glass cleaner. 😯 - Nick
N914 is fantastic! Nick Rutter is a beast of a formulator. I literally have no idea how it typed that. Lol
What does that mean? I can't understand what you wrote lol.
Never tried rinseless wash before. But willing to test it out. Thanks. I only used Mckees for claying the car.
Here's my full rinseless wash tutorial including wheels and tires: th-cam.com/video/p58Y5qRd3OU/w-d-xo.html

Thanks for sharing!
I use N914 to soak my used microfiber towels before washing them. I find it really helps to get them clean.
Yeah, or on very dirty towels, I like to soak them in P&S Rags to Riches microfiber detergent, in warm water, overnight, and wash them the next day, with the same detergent. Works wonders!

Never tried a rinseless wash, might have to give it a shot🤔. Great video Pan!
Rinseless washes are a great alternative wash method for those who live in areas with heavy water restrictions/bans, or are apartment/condo dwellers that have limited or no access to water. But if the vehicle is super dirty, use common sense, you should pre-rinse it first before doing the rinseless wash. A rinseless wash doesn't mean you never rinse, it just means no rinsing is needed at the end of the wash process.
See my full explanation in my rinseless wash tutorial here: th-cam.com/video/p58Y5qRd3OU/w-d-xo.html
@@PanTheOrganizer Exactly, like you said in the video if the vehicle has a thick layer of mud on top of it, a pressure washer should be used to pre rinse the majority of the dirt👍🏻.
Correct.
@@PanTheOrganizer 👍🏻
I can’t wait to try this one great review pan
Thanks Kenneth!
This is another one of your great presentations that have motivated me to switch to rinseless washing with the McKees N914. The video raises 2 questions. Why did Nick add another “dash“ of N914 to the sprayer after filling it from the bucket? Also, he uses all four sides of the sponge when washing the car. With there being no laser cuts around the perimeter, does that not defeat, the purpose of the sponge’s design?
This was just a quick demo, as we had a limited amount if time. See my full tutorial for all the info, here: th-cam.com/video/p58Y5qRd3OU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Z9Ty4WUt2eo04tOg

Hello Paaaaann !!!
J'adore les rinseless wash !
J'ai aussi le ONR avec carnauba ( liquide vert )
Here's a test you could do or maybe make a video on ( would love the latter ) on whether rinseless is safe. Polish a paintwork preferably black and then get before shots, get it dirty and rinseless wash it. Finally show the after shots and then conclusions. You could add steps to the process showing how that affects the paint, like pre-treat, giving a 50-50. Would love to see you make a video on this.❤
I just cannot bring myself to try a rinseless wash on my car. I have a dark blue color and it shows every whisper on the paint. I’m terrified that it will further scratch the paint without a final rinse process. I’ll keep watching…maybe some day. :)
After watching the complete video and reading a lot of the positive comments around rinseless washing…This might be a solution for my maintenance washes and to avoid the killer sunlight and heat of the southern USA. Thanks again Pan.
McKees uses soap surfactants to clean so you don't want it in the hottest parts of the world like the southern US. You would want something like ONR which allows for you to easily wipe off water spots as they're all spots from the polymer residue.

I love rinseless wash. Use it between traditional wash.i just use cordless pw 2 get heavy stuff off
Pan I have become a huge fan of rinseless wash. I have not used McKees because I have so much ONR and DIY's in my garage. But as time goes on I am using it for so many things around the house too! I have used a lot of McKees products though just not this one yet.
McKee's produces very good quality products and great value for the money. And so does DIY Detail. :)
n914 was my first purchased rinseless...i have since bought half dozen more...but i still prefer the n914
This might be the way I go to clean my car. I would like to do a traditional wash but I think HOA will not allow that. I can do this in my garage in peace. Can you use the same dilution to clean the wheels as well? I guess you can add a few more drops in the pump sprayer to foam it up to apply on the wheels and tires?
I just coated my vehicle and have been looking for a new rinseless wash as I am running out of P&S Absolute. Might pick up McKee's Rinseless to try out!

Good material Pan. One question do you recommend the ik multi pro 2 only for the rinseless wash and not the ik foam pro 2 ? I’m assuming the one in the link is the ideal one for the rinseless wash. Thanks
Yes the one in the links is the correct Multi Pro 2. With rinseless washes, most don't foam, so you use a regular sprayer. You would use the Foam Pro 2 with foaming type products like soaps.
Can u do a video on which is best for washing a car with regular foam wash. Which is best sponge or a wash mitt
great video I never did spray a coating after the riseness wash always afraid to get it on the drying towel that it might harden and I'd have to throw it out
Don't confuse spray coatings (like Gyeon CanCoat EVO) with drying aids or quick detail sprays. In this case, with the McKee's, no need to worry about towels hardening.
I enjoy this video 😊

@@PanTheOrganizer you honestly have great content Pan, thank you for what you do for the car community!
Pan, is it safe to use ONR on a freshly repainted panel? How long do I eventually have to wait untill I can wash that area?
Great video. I came across this video because I’m looking for a easier way to wash in Southern California summer heat. Would you recommend using this method and product washing in direct sunlight in 80 to 90 degrees?
I would never recommend washing a car in direct sunlight or high heat. Always wash in the shade or a garage, on cool surfaces. Ideally you want to be as close to 68-70F as possible.
Avoid washing at noon when the sun is at its brightest and hottest. Either very early in the morning or as late as possible in the afternoon.
And if you want zero water spots, use demineralized, deionized, distilled or reverse osmosis water.
See my video on car wash tips in direct sunlight: th-cam.com/video/DebiLFBCHu8/w-d-xo.html
That sponge looks like it’s made from pullapart packing foam… very resourceful. My local DIY car washes cost $8 each time, so skipping other time quickly pays for this product. I’ve never heard of McKees but I’d love to try it.

Never purchase any extra that the dealerships try to sell you. They sell cheap garbage for high profits. Tell them to just wash the car, and do nothing to the paint. Either you do the detailing yourself, or bring it to a professional detailer for a true detailing.
A new car is never new until it's properly detailed.
- at the factory, the paint defects are often corrected quickly by rotary polishing which can leave marks and holograms, so polishing corrects those, before you lock that in long term with a ceramic coating for example.
- vehicles are then transported by truck, train and boat so they are exposed to the elements, industrial fallout, brake dust, rail dust, etc
- vehicles are often left at boat docks (when transported by boat) or in exterior parking lots for weeks or months, again being exposed to the elements
- at the dealership, the vehicles are almost always poorly prepped using the same dirty water that was used for all the cars on a given day, and poor washing and drying methods leading to swirls and scratches
- at the dealership, a layer of cheap wax or paint sealant is usually applied to attempt to make the paint glossy prior to delivery. It's crucial to remove any previous protection before you apply a ceramic coating, as coatings need to bond directly to a virgin clear coat.
If you only plan on applying a regular carnauba wax or paint sealant though, you could decide to skip machine polishing, as those protectants can be applied over existing protection and it's not as crucial to prep the paint as well.
I explain all of this in this popular video: th-cam.com/video/QgoyrC-5CMc/w-d-xo.html

Thank you
The McKee’s 37 Graphene Coating Wax is unavailable on Amazon, any other suggestions for a good drying agent that adds protection to my ceramic coated car after I do a rinse less wash?
Use N914 as a rinseless wash to spruce up before a car show. Takes off the pollen and dust settled on an otherwise clean surface. Haven't seen any scratches yet either on PPF or coated surfaces. Nice product to carry in your trunk in a 5 gal bucket with the sponge and towels ready to go when you need it.
Thanks for sharing your personal experience.
How do you deal with things like bugs and tar when using a rinseless wash? And how do you clean the wheels with rinseless? I’ve been curious about rinseless wash for a long time, but it makes me nervous about marring the paint 😬
Pan has several videos on rinseless washes. Some include info on bug spray products. Spray it on and let it sit a few minutes before following up with the McKees or similar no rinse wash.
Other videos also discuss wheels and tires.
Correct. Here's my most recent and complete rinseless wash tutorial: th-cam.com/video/p58Y5qRd3OU/w-d-xo.html
Morning Pan, good video as always, by the way, have you tested already the new EXTREME SHIELD™ + CERAMIC CAR WASH from ArmorAll?
I can’t recommend it. My viewers wanted me to test it, so I did in this video: th-cam.com/video/7B0UaAcl0xE/w-d-xo.html
Armor All in general isn’t that good in my opinion.
Hey Pan - You should throw a 1 millionth subscriber party.
It will be a memorable moment when that happens for sure. A culminating point after hard work, passion and dedication. Ever since I started my channel in April 2016, I never skipped a single week of uploading at least one video on my channel. And I often filmed twice: in English and French. So this was back breaking sweat equity put into getting to this point.
And I'm grateful and thankful to have my viewers along for this incredible journey, and I will be celebrating this moment with you all for sure.
@@PanTheOrganizer Can't wait to celebrate it with you. Well deserved Pan!
My favorites are Hydra, fenylab, uber rinseless.
If I can't get a hold of one of these specific sponges, how safe is it to use rinseless wash with microfibre towels soaked in a properly prepared bucket of the product?
You can use microfiber towels or microfiber wash mitts too, no problem.

Off topic, but Pan, are you ever planning on doing an updated sneaker collection video? I know you picked up some heaters after the last one🙏🔥🔥
I did add quite a few heaters since the video was released hehe. Perhaps an update in the future!
Thoughts on my latest process ? I Pre Foam , Rinse , Rinseless Wash , & Light final rinse .. i love it , slick and less soap to use 👍👍
See how it compares to my full rinseless wash tutorial here: th-cam.com/video/p58Y5qRd3OU/w-d-xo.html
Personally I would love to see something like DIY products, like no rinse wash or waterless wash because in my country cant find those products and import them is ultra expensive or imposible because restrictions
Hello Pan,
I have a couple of questions. Have you ever used McKee's 37 SiO2 Rinseless Wash? and if so do you recommend it? If you haven’t would you consider making a video?
Thank you
I haven’t yet. I’m in testing so deep for different products that I’m almost drowning in products haha.
@@PanTheOrganizer Thanks
Pan, would love to see you spend more time talking about the pros and cons of each product that you review. In the past I've trusted your advice as an experienced detailer. This video gives me pause. A single bucket wash with a sponge on a filthy vehicle without even rinsing first - it just violates common sense. I wonder if you could have begun the video with some set up for when is the time and place for such an approach?
Hi Ryan. Rinseless washes are a great alternative wash method for those who live in areas with heavy water restrictions/bans, or are apartment/condo dwellers that have limited or no access to water. But if the vehicle is super dirty, use common sense, you should pre-rinse it first before doing the rinseless wash. A rinseless wash doesn't mean you never rinse, it just means no rinsing is needed at the end of the wash process.
See my full explanation in my rinseless wash tutorial here: th-cam.com/video/p58Y5qRd3OU/w-d-xo.html
Even with using a grit guard why would still not use a clean water reinse water bucket?

Thanks!
I have a ceramic coated car. Can I use the N-914 rinseless wash & wax on it?
Yes absolutely.
I’m so confused by the amount of products out there. I would like suggestions as to how I should start out to buy products to basically wash my car on occasion add some form of protection and enhanced gloss and the maintain it, I don’t particularly want to start sticking up in film canons etc but I’m thinking rindless easy and the add some sort of protection every so many months. What are you thoughts, any suggestions?

Thanks for another good video. I notice that at the end of the rinse-less wash I have about 2 litres of solution left in the bucket. I usually fill this up in a bottles and use it for the next wash, or fill it in a spray bottle to be used as a quick detailer. Is this a good idea?
No, because the bucket most likely has some contamination in it even though the rinseless solution is supposed to pull all the dirt down to the bottom. I personally wouldn't gamble on it and you should add 1-2 liters less every time you fill up a bucket and dilute it.
can i apply graphene liquid wax flex on top of cramic liquid wax??
I'm confused. Can you be more precise with which brand and product you are talking about? "Liquid wax flex" ??? Did you mean "Turtle Wax Graphene Flex Wax SPRAY"? And what "Cramic liquid wax"??? Did you mean Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray Coating?
What liquid waxes are you talking about? Huge difference between a liquid wax, and a SPRAY product.
@@PanTheOrganizer yes i have meguires liquid wax spray on car and i want to apply graphene flex wax,can it fo on top of that meguires?sorry for my bad english
@@PanTheOrganizer its all spray products meguires ceramic spray way and graphene flex spray way
Instead of the foam sponge, can this be used with a chenille microfiber wash mitt?
You can use a traditional microfiber wash mitt yes.

hi, how to clean a car with transparent film cover? thanks in advance.
You mean PPF (paint protection film)? Same methods as for regular paint. Rinseless wash, or a traditional car wash like in my video here: th-cam.com/video/7Koj5j2Es5U/w-d-xo.html
If I have a deionizer setup should I use deionized water in my bucket with rinseless wash or is it a waste?
Do it. The best quality water is always the best.
I’m not sure about this… I suppose there is a time and a place… but the snow foam process just seems way better.
Nice job. 😎
Thanks! 👍
Yo, Pan, I got some hg ceramic coating for a 1964 corvair convertible. Are there any tips on apply. I currently use igl but want to try others I trust your opinion and reviews. I like to support my detailers
Hi Pan, what dilution would be used on wheels? I'm not talking baked on brake dust, just reasonably well maintained wheels? Thank you.
Same dilution as for the paintwork. 256:1
Or, you can use a wheel and tire cleaner. Here's my full rinseless wash tutorial including wheels and tires: th-cam.com/video/p58Y5qRd3OU/w-d-xo.html
Hey Pan. i got into rinseless washes recently and I use the ultra black sponge but i don't understand if I have to rub the sponge against the grit guard or not. I've seen videos where they do it (like in this one) and other videos where they use a grit guard but don't rub the sponge against it. So, what's the correct way? Does it even matter? Thanks.
I think you're overthinking the moment in this instance. As good practice, yes you could scrub the sponge in the bottom of the bucket for extra safety. Just like you would with a regular microfiber wash mitt.
Hello Pan I use 914 for a number of things have been thinking about using it in a foam cannon as a prewash then rising off before foaming it for my 2 bucket wash just not sure how much to put in may PF 22.2 pressure washer is doing about 1.5 gmp any thoughts?
I don’t use it in a foam cannon so I couldn’t help you.
Perhaps write to McKee’s and see what they say.
Thank you
My pleasure!
Welcome to my channel. You discovered one of the biggest car detailing channels on TH-cam as we surpassed 920,000 subscribers and we have over 120 million views! I have been detailing for 26 years and I love to share my knowledge and passion with my viewers.
You found the right channel to help you learn everything about detailing.
Hey Pan I have 4 gallons of the Mckees mixed up in a bucket with a lid. I washed my front end of car to get bugs off but wasn’t that bad. The water looks good still. How long can I keep this in the bucket and it’s still good to go? Or not worth it?
Hard to say as I don’t do that. Perhaps ask McKee’s what they say.
Just wish the Mckees bucket had half gallon/ gallon marks on the side of the bucket
Which one is better
turtle wax 3 in 1 ceramic detailer vs Meguiar waterless wash
I don’t recommend using waterless washes. Rinseless washes are a safer option.

@@PanTheOrganizer India we have only 3 big brands. Carpro, Turtle wax and Meguiar. Could you please suggest any rinse less wash by these brands
You can use CarPro Ech2O as a rinseless wash when diluted 1:200
See instructions on their label
@@PanTheOrganizer thank you so much. And can we apply turtle wax graphene paste wax or flex wax after cleaning with ech2o.

People don’t understand the updated technology of the sponge and the chemical. Rinseless washes are perfectly fine and cause no damage when used with common sense.
Correct!
Is it normal to feel grabby when washing at the bottom part of the car as it is more dirty?... I use p&s rinseless and I feel it doesn't really encapsulate the dirt at the bottom part and I still feel grabby even after I have pre rinsed it... It's definitely not as slick at soap and I had very high expectations on rinseless wash
If the vehicle is super dirty, you would pre-rinse with a pressure washer first. Common sense is needed with a rinseless wash as there are limitations. Rinseless wash doesn't mean you never rinse, it just means you don't need to rinse at the end of the wash process.
Hi Pan, was wondering if my car is covered in road salt during Canadian winter months, is it still safe to rinseless wash method, or it's better to go traditional way? Like a coin car wash. Thanks!
I personally prefer the traditional wash method at home, using buckets and microfiber wash mitts (that's what you see me do 99% of the time on my channel).
If you have access to water, use the traditional wash method. If you want to use the rinseless wash method in winter, at least pre-rinse the vehicle first to remove most of the dirt and winter muck. Don't apply a rinseless wash directly to super dirty paint.
I've recently bought a car that has a Diamondbrite Ceramic coating; and this Summer, due to a hosepipe ban, (in England, would you believe!!) I used a rinseless wash for the first time - with great results. However I've read on-line that you should not use a rinseless wash on a ceramic coated car. But in one of your videos you use a rinseless wash on your girlfriend's ceramic coated car. So is it safe? Your advice and expertise would be most welcome.
It’s absolutely fine to use a rinseless wash on a coated vehicle. A rinseless wash is just an alternative method of washing your car.
Obviously you have to use common sense. If the car has a layer of thick mud or dirt, you would pre-rinse before doing a rinseless wash.
I still prefer the traditional wash method, but for someone who doesn’t have access to a pressure washer or garden hose, a rinseless wash is the next best option.
@@PanTheOrganizer Thanks for the reply and thanks for putting my mind at rest. As Yvan Delacroix would say I'm probably over-thinking.
No worries. Who is Yvan Delacroix? Hehe. I think you meant Yvan Lacroix, the owner of DIY Detail (formerly working for Optimum). He's a good friend of mine.
@@PanTheOrganizer Oops! Yes, I did mean Yvan Lacroix. That's me typing without engaging brain. Anyway, thanks again for your advice.
Been going through lots of rinse less wash videos. Finding out what are the best products available and studying the best techniques to execute a rinse less wash....However all the ways that I see does have a draw back, for me at least. You see I do my car cleaning in my garage most of the time if not all the time. A rinse less wash will leave water stains on my garage floor tile which really bugs me. I bothers me seeing dry water stains on the floor and it typically leave an out line of the car from the drips....and if you clean the wheels I am sure you will get water stains around the tires as well. This is why I don't really do rinse less wash any more...I might as well pull out all the gears (water hose and compressor etc). At the end of it I will spray the floor to give it a good rinse. Sure more work but I have a clean car and a clean garage floor too. Just sharing my opinion. But I do get it rinse less wash makes sense for some conditions.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
is this safe for a ceramic coated car?
Yes. You can see me do a rinseless wash on a ceramic coated vehicle in my tutorial here: th-cam.com/video/p58Y5qRd3OU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=KNXzSECesCNOyWDt
Can the n914 Wash and Wax be used on a coated vehicle? Thanks
Yes.
Can a rinseless wash be used on a car that hasn't been washed in more than a year?
That wouldn't be recommended, as it's likely too dirty. Common sense is needed when using the rinseless wash method. If the car is super dirty, you'd have to pre-rinse first. Rinseless wash doesn't mean you never rinse, it just means you don't have to rinse at the end of the wash process.
