How did you like Absolute, and the UBS sponge? Absolute is one of my favorite detailing products.Got a littler dirty last weekend. Gonna give Absolute Rinseless Wash a go today.
First attempt using the combo. Can't lie....I did the test run on the Wife's car .How did you like Absolute, and the UBS sponge? Absolute is one of my favorite detailing products.
I hear you on ONR, it might be an older product, but it still a very good product, I actually prefer it over the more popular McKee's N-914.First attempt using the combo. Can't lie....I did the test run on the Wife's car .
I have used ONR for years as both Rinseless and QD. I think ONR is a fantastic product still to this day. I can't really say that Absolute blew me away or impressed me. Now I did the car parked in the drive, sorta windy, and in the sun. It looked clean and shinny, but I did not feel like it was "super slick" while washing.
I plan to tackle the Mach 1 this week with an Absolute Rinseless wash. Likely inside the garage and out of the sun. Maybe those conditions will yield better "feels" for me.
I am in AZ, the desert, so my concern with Bead Maker is dust. I have not tried it, but I always read it is a dust magnet. My car has Adams Graphene Spray Coating and I have been using their "toppers." Although they have been a bit underwhelming as drying aids.I hear you on ONR, it might be an older product, but it still a very good product, I actually prefer it over the more popular McKee's N-914.
Absolute was launched to a lot of hype, as such I think people expected it to vastly outperform the competition. To be frank, I don't think it does. But.............I do really enjoy using it for a variety of reasons.
If you want to ramp up the gloss and slickness, try using it on conjunction with Bead Maker. I say this to a lot of people, so excuse me if I'm repeating myself here, but the combination of an Absolute rinse-less wash teamed with Bead Maker as a drying aid is just so addictive.
I actually tried that combo of Absolute and Bead Maker as a spur of the moment thing and immediately fell in love. I would later find out that P&S designed Absolute to partner with Bead Maker, considering how well they work together, that was no surprise to me.
In use, simply follow the usual rinse-less wash procedure. Before you start drying the car with your towel/s, apply a few sprays of Bead Maker to each panel. The result is next level gloss and slickness.
Yeah, I can understand that regarding the dusting, it is known for that. I will say that it's really only noticable on darker colors though.I am in AZ, the desert, so my concern with Bead Maker is dust. I have not tried it, but I always read it is a dust magnet.

I'm looking forward to a second go with Absolute and will report back.
I love trying new stuff, but I should work down my current inventory. Lol.
I know that feeling. I'm still pretty new to rinse-less, let's say that 25 years of soap and water is a hard habit to break. It's taking a lot for me to put trust into these products and I'm pushing myself to explore the method fully.Try number two with Absolute Rinseless wash was on my Jeep. Now the Jeep sits outside, had a light coating of dust that was hardened up by rain. I felt like I was dragging rocks across the paint! That might be a bit dramatic, but it was not super smooth. I should have snapped some pics.
The Jeep is protected with CQuartz and topped with Reload.
Two oz in Four gallons...I must be doing something wrong. Maybe it is the sponge. Maybe ONR is still the champ. Def not ready to try it on my Mach.
I'm thinking to change things up at the 3 year mark, get 3 years of coverage on the factory paint. It will also help keep the itch scratched..... Also saving for a set of rims and tires. Looking at the Shelby CS3s.that Highland Green is nice though. I do think FJG looks better in person in low light. The AZ Sun seems to wash it out in pics. I love it.
Well shopped, so wise choices there!Cant stop Wont stop.
Right?
