New Method of Washing?

Quoted from another board. One word has been changed to protect the innocent. What do you guys think?

 

I think your shin is harder then a sheepskin mitt and can't hold soap w/ water like your mitt can.

I also think this would take much longer with your hand, then with a mitt.

How do you get the dirt to release off of your hand?

 

I'm a firm believer in the two bucket method. I just quoted it to see what you guys though.

 

wow using the bare hand to wash the car...errrrrrrrrrr no thank you!

 

Even if the the 'wash' contains a surfactant without a 'holding place' i.e. fibre's you will be abrading the paint with the dirt trapped between the hand and the paint surface. Much the same argument against using a non-absorbent sponge

I think I'll pass

 

I'm sticking with my buckets and mitts. I can't wait to park next to this person after I've detailed my car.

 

+1 with TOGWT's comments. It seems you'd just be pushing the dirt across the paint between your fingers and the clear coat. I'd like to see what the finish of this guys car looks like.

 

When I get a chance to this summer I'll get some photos.

 

Whether you're rubbing on the paint with your hands or a mitt, aren't you still rubbing dirt on the paint?

 

No No No, don't wash your paint with your hand, that's crazy. Always use a mitt.....:duh:

 

Wash your car with your hands. No, just your hands. No water or anything. Just dry rubbing the paint with your bare skin. It'll be EXCELLENT!!!

 

I think i'm gonna go try that!!!! Just think. No need to worry about cold water!:lala:

 

Most car wash concentrates contain a surfactant (this 'lifts' the dirt from the surface) washing with a medium that has fibres, the dirt will be lifted and stay in the fibres until you rinse. With flat hands there is nowhere for the dirt to go, hence it will be trapped between the hand and the paint surface, causing scratches
