Bucketless Car Wash

[Mayur]

Meguiar's should develop a bucketless car wash for those of us with winter woes in the self service car washes. Armor All has a system like that. Why not Meguiar's?

There are a couple systems out there, QEW is another and might be a better quality product over armorall..... Meguiars sells something in Australia, in the US we have all the same products (or similar) and they are for quick detailing.

Im pretty sure that wont work well on the salted cars. There has to be a better solution that is afordable. What is QEW?

Re: Bucketless Car Wash

Well, as the description for the Bucketless product says, Meguiars feels soap and water is better, so they probably dont think much of the Armour-All system anyway. Not going to make a bad product to pander to people.

What is QEW?

QEW is a "rinseless car wash soap." Optimum No Rinse Wash & Shine and DP 4-in-1 Rinseless wash are similar products.

Basically these special soaps allow you to wash your car without using a hose. You add the soap to your car wash bucket as you would any car wash soap. Then you use a wash mitt or MF towel to wash one panel of your car. Then you just go straight to drying off the panel. No rinsing! I use these products in my garage during the winter when it's too cold to wash with a hose outside in the driveway.

Re: Bucketless Car Wash

Personally, I don't think bucketless washes are all that great. (Have tried 2 brands.) Basically, they allow you to spray the soap directly on the car. Then you wipe with the mitt, then rinse the car off. You aren't saving any steps, as far as I can see, just "saving" bringing out a bucket. You are just applying the soap via a different medium (spray instead of via the mitt from the solution bucket.).
Where are you supposed to rinse out the mitt? Only way I can see is if you spray it out with the hose. Not really worth it, IMHO.
The rinseless washes are a better product, IMHO.
