Omni Garage is built around a partnership between Glenn and Glenn (yes - we both have the same name) who individually bring to the table a range of skill and experience. A collective effort and a common passion for vehicles, resulted in the inception of Omni Garage.
We discovered we both found great enjoyment spending time in the garage, where we would detail, maintain our vehicles and discuss new detailing products. At times there were conversations about how we could model this concept into a business - RU-vid was the perfect platform to do this. It was during an uneventful summer vacation that our first video was released and Omni Garage was created.
Great video! I've been trying to find the "best" rinseless, especially with so many companies making products now. What I've tested so far is ONR, P&S Absolute, Koch Chemie RWW and Armour Detail Supply Hero. My favorite so far has been Hero. Great slickness and stays wet on the vehicle for a long time. I use ONR as my pre-rinse since it's the cheapest, in terms of cost. Not the biggest fan of Absolute because of the formula being chunky. Takes a while to dissolve when coregulates. The cleaning power of RRW is awesome but I feel like it dries too fast on the car... makes wiping/drying take a big longer. DIY Rinseless V2 will be my next test.. have a feeling it'll come down to that and Hero. Might keep ONR in the arsenal where I need to use a lot of product (pre-rinse, wheels, etc.)
I've been using Rinseless washes more frequently about four years ago using ONR. I currently have about 20 different rinseless wash and it's without a doubt my favorite way of washing a lightly soiled vehicle, which is the way my vehicle is about 80% of the time. I haven't tried the newest washes out such as the Labocosmetica, Rapid Rinseless, the GYEON one, and a few of the others they have been highlighting of late. Looking forward to your upcoming reviews of the different rinseless wash series!
In regards to people saying "It's not a dirty car", actually lightly soiled cars are the exact cars you are supposed to be using rinseless washes on. You don't want to be using rinseless washes on heavily soiled vehicles or mud covered vehicles. If you have any noticeable grit or sand, etc. Don't use a rinseless wash, use a traditional bucket wash with a pre-spray and foam using a pressure washer and foam cannon. I use a pump sprayer for my rinseless wash pre soak because I was tired of my arms getting tired when spraying down the vehicle on the pre-wash with a bottle sprayer. I think the scent of that rinseless wash was stated as being "APPLE" by DIY a while back.
I'm looking at a bundle that includes the cherry speed wax and the bead maker, but cant find any videos on how to use both products? Assume the cherry wax application first and THEN bead maker?
That stuff is POTENT... you just don't leave it on there.. you gotta wash it off or wipe it with a quick detailer.. something to remove it completely... it can even strip coatings if you arent careful..
I use it with a IK sprayer and i'm not impress by this product. I did a Hydro2 coating 2 months ago with all the steps before and lift is not working better after the Hydro2. I'm disapointed by this product.
your install of the upmbrella is wrong making it cumbersome. you should open it half way so it extends over the screen then keep opening until it is completely opened then slide the umbrella in place over the screen. after you've fully opened the umbrella and placed it behind the screen, then you tie it to the rear view mirror and adjust and put down the visors for better hold. you tied it down first before opening limiting your working area. When you remove it just do the reverse. Bring the umbrella out from behind the screen first then close it. dont try to close it from behind the screen.
Thanks, this will be perfect for me. I don't need a lot of power, I just have a tiny yard and my edges look pretty good. Being lightweight and not dealing with mixing gas/oil or coping with a cord is worth a lot to me. I have fescue in my yard too, bluegrass is more common here in the US midwest, but it is even less drought tolerant, so I made the switch.
The "widebody" you're talking about isn't an STI feature, but is the standard body lines of the sedan GD impreza. The factory tinted glass is just usual tinted glass. It was an option from out of the showroom, and isn't hard to acquire aftermarket. The fuel efficiency in my 05 GG WRX is actually quite good. I get 450-500 on a full tank, 450 being the more spirited driving economy. One con that could be added to this, is the known common rust spots in the rear strut tower.
I used this product and not very efective. The best product i used is Soft 99 Glaco series , much better then rain x & turtle wax clear vue. Now i use after washing the car , Gyeon Bathe plus.....put in foam canon , spray on the whole car and rinse it off & dry. Also no streaks on windows and they feel super soft
Stupid Movie, what is left on that car is Tar and aspahlt, you need special tar remover for that or petro/or citrus. so if you use one of that first, lett that dwell on car for 3-5 minutes and then add Lift you will se a clean car, you should learn how to wash car and what chemical is used for what problem.
@@OmniGarage honestly that's the only graphene product I use. The Adams graphene tire dressing. It just had a great satin appearance. The graphene might be a gimmick but that tire dressing looks great and lasts a solid 3 weeks per application.
That is interesting to know. A tire dressing with longevity is key. I find dressing with longevity is often petroleum based which are nasty to deal with. Is it petroleum based?
Hey Eddy! Awesome to see you watch the video and drop a comment! Crazy to be connected like this from the other side of the world. Our rinseless washes have massive inspiration from you. We really appreciate your work. We are slowly working our way through your top 5 recommended rinseless washes. Going to try DIY detail today. Keep up the good work!
@@OmniGarage Man thats crazy! I appreciate you I had no idea that NXTzen was near you their rinseless wash is kind of wild they are around you im assuming your in Australia. ZNR, Hero, DIY, Labo ( sealant is stout) Feynlab, RRW sooo good
Hey there! Just watched your video and have couple of questions. Please answer it:- 1. I am also looking to buy MTM HYDRO SGS28 Gun with swivel but amazon doesn’t offer the fittings like quick connects. 2. I have Bosch Aquatak 125 bars pressure washer machine, so how do i connect hose pipe with MTM Hydro SGS28 swivel gun.? 3. And, what was the angle lanced(just before you plugged the kachre connector) the will you provide link from amazon so i can buy it
I personally use rinseless in place of regular soap, rather than a traditional rinseless wash. The reason being exactly what you guys proved at the end of the video, which is that rinseless cleans your mitt better and I've noticed that it does actually draw more dirt to the bottom of your bucket compared to regular soap. I still like to foam first with KCX AF to remove 80% of the dirt and I still rinse after the contact wash because I like rinsing off all the agitated dirt and I like drying a clean car. I've currently been using Absolute however, after seeing how easily that white towel came clean I think RRW cleans better than absolute. Absolute will definitely remove some dirt from the mitt but RRW looks next level in that aspect.
Thank you for your comments. Yes a hybrid wash is becoming very popular. I am yet to try that method. I recommend doing that trick with all rinseless washes to see how well it cleans the cloth. Some will really surprise you. RRW did a pretty decent job. What is your favourite rinseless and soap combo?
@@OmniGarage At the moment I'm loving Koch chemie active foam, it cleans moderately dirty coated cars quite well. I'd say it removes 80% of the dirt. Rinseless wise I'm using absolute which is quite slick and cleans decently but it won't clean microfiber as good as you guys showed with RRW. Although I'm cleaning a relatively clean car once AF has done its job. Lately I've been seeing all the hybrid wash videos but personally I still like to wash the rinseless off and dry a clean car. Less chance of scratching in my mind. I purely use rinseless as soap replacement. If I had to guess I'd say KCX RRW or ADS Hero and Bilt hamber touchless v2 is probably the best foam and rinseless combo.
@KiranPatel-fk1pg than you for the comments. We have just order a bottle of ADS Hero and ADS Amplify so those will be interesting to try out. Bilt Hamber is really hard to get here in NZ (as with most products) so haven’t tried any of their range.
@@KiranPatel-fk1pgYou are 100% correct. I do my hybrid washes with Bilt Hamber Touchless and Absolute but to be honest Hero, Koch Chemie RRW & DIY Detail Rinseless Washes are way better than absolute in cleaning power, my last wash with Absolute was a little bit of a disappointment and I will be using Hero or RRW from now on….Absolute will be demoted to interior cleaning and maybe drying aid or clay lubricant.
No I don’t sorry. They don’t make that model anymore. I’ve upgraded to their new 36v blower. It is way better than the one in this video. Have a look on our RU-vid channel, I made a video about it.
It will streak with more product. I would recommend trying one spray to mist it over the entire surface and see if it works. It’s also not great as a stand alone protectant.
@@OmniGarage I heard cutting down to 3 sprays unless I missed it being stated it was brought back to 1 spray. It’s a really finicky product. It also does not play well with certain glass sealants and coatings.
@MikeGDetailing no sealants, no coatings on any of the glass, it was a bare surface. Tried on multiple cars (two are in the video) another car tried off camera. Varying techniques, various amounts of product.
You asked if anyone else has experienced streaking. Yes, that’s how I found your video. I’ve been struggling with Clarify Phobic and streaking on two different cars over the couple of weeks. It’s making me crazy. I even used Carpro Eraser to remove any existing residue on the windshield before applying Clarify. It still streaked - exactly in the way you described. Funny enough, the Eraser did a fantastic job on the glass and I’m going back out to clean off the Clarify with more Eraser!
Thank you for your feedback. Pleased that it’s not just us struggling with this product. Lots of people are having very different experiences. Some say just “wipe” off the excess, some say that doesn’t work. Interesting.
@@OmniGarage I’m jealous of those that have a good experience with it as Carpro makes great products and I really want to like it. Wiping it off just seems to move the smears around for me.
@maz012967 absolutely, we use a lot of their stuff and for many years. As we said in the vid the concept is fantastic and i can see this type of product doing well. But the product has to work for everyone, with a range of techniques/experiences.
Thank you for the comment and pleased someone else had similar results. Was starting to think it was us. I find glass products/ glass cleaning /glass hydrophobics a very finicky area of detailing. Often left with a smeary mess, lint on the glass, smudges, poor behaviour with window wipers etc.
How unfortunate. I would be so annoyed, especially after detailing the entire car. I hope you can get your money back on that one due to the safety concerns from reduced visibility.
Seems you sprayed too much over the glass and worked under direct sunlight which accelerate the alcohol to flash faster , just wipe off the residues smearing after 1min or so and it will come off.
Thanks for chiming in! We tried numerous methods, both inside away from the sun and outside, and applied various amounts (down to 4 sprays for a full windshield) and experienced similar product behaviour. Is there any possibility our issue was due to a “bad” batch of product?
I wonder if it needs a couple of drops of water on the final wipe to remove the smearing. If I remember correctly, Rain-x instructions tell you to do that to remove the haze.
I’m currently using Gyeon Q2M GLASS+ and it has great hydrophobic properties with no streaking issues if applied correctly using their 2 towel method. Maybe give it a go?
@@OmniGaragesave your money gyeon version is no better !! Load of rubbish & not very user friendly either especially in colder climates. Smeary overpriced overrated mess both gyeon & carpro .
do you think the wood brush spinning that fast could damage hardwood decking? it's labor intensive to manually brush the entire deck to clean before brightening and oiling application. hoping this might be a time and labor saver. thanks!
