Mighty fine work as always Greg. That Buick looks great.

How many miles does the car have?

Did you use DP Rinseless wash because it's cold out, or because you prefer a rinseless type of product?

I keep reading more and more how a lot of people straight up prefer rinseless washing to traditional washing. I don't see how I could ever get my wheels and wheel wells as clean without using a hose.

Thank you, Marc.
I used LC pre-production pad. D151 surprises me every time I use it. It's a great AIO product for sure because of its cut ability without gloss sacrifice.

Thank you, Nick.
The mileage is around 90K. It still runs good.

The temperature was in mid 60s so I could do traditional wash but the vehicle was clean enough for just rinseless approach. I used seperate bucket with several brushes on wheels and tires. The biggest advantage of rinseless approach is minimum water usage. When it's cold that product can still be used for a quick car wash.

Great job Greg!!! That is really impressive.

I didn't mean to spoil your Thanksgiving weekend with Flex 3401/ D151 project. You've tried both and they're not your preffered tools. That's fair. M66/ G110v2 would probably finish very similar on that paint.

Very nice work, Greg, especially when you consider that it was done with an AIO like D151.

Thank you, Shawn.

So, Shawn doesn't like either of these? Funny, isn't it, how two people can view the same products so differently? But you're right; if Shawn's not a fan then he's not a fan. He obviously has a product mix and routine that works well for him, and that's great.

D151 is my favorite all-in-one for a long time. The results really show its potential.
