Hey guys,

in regards to taking good care of our pride & joys has anyone used this product or keen on doing so?

http://www.autogeek.net/dp-rinseless-four-in-one.html

Its classified as a water saving wash (not to be confused with waterless) and looks like a really good product. Don't think you can physically buy from a store front but it is available at:

I would just go to the local high pressure car wash. Only costs about $2 all up.

With the above products, I'm not sure on how you would go about using it, but without using water, what would you do about the dirty you've got stuck on your car? Just rub the products in and scratch the car?

I just go to the car wash and use their recycled high pressure water gun.

Edit: Okay I just saw you said not to be confused with not using water at all...

Just dont be cheapskates eh

Ya'll own a nice car, costs max $10 in dazzlers to do the exterior. I usually dont use the foaming brush but the different modes of the high pressure sprayer are well worth it;

a) presoak

b) high pressure soap

c) then get your elbow grease with a chammois and wipe away the heavy debris, brake dust and other crud

d) rinse it with high pressure

e) repeat steps b thru d if required (ie if u were a nub and missed something)

f) do the high pressure wax

g) and lastly the spot free finish (which is just distilled water, but its also good to chuck that in yr water reservoir for the windscreen wipers, that way u dont get streaks (or at least, minimal streaks)

I dont use the brush because usually some dickhead of a 4WD owner has used it to scrub 3 inches of topsoil from his car and neglected to give the brush a high pressure spray. That, and the fact some of those brushes really do stuff yr paintjob up.

  • 2 weeks later...

A) High pressure soap (making sure I spray the brush to clean all the crap out of it if there is any)

B) Foaming brush

C) Get out cloth and clean my wheels (after the time has run out... only put $2 in at a time)

D) High pressure rinse

E) Spot free (no streaks ftw)

    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
    • Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
