Ha! I freakin knew it.
That yellow one really is a looker. I've got a white DE5 and think about wrapping it in yellow as a throwback to the phoenix yellow DC2.
Glad to see my findings validated. I cross shopped my DE5/FL5 with the GRC and I thought the same. The biggest thing that swayed me though was the room in the backseat which is no bueno for two carseats.
Hey! Ventura county here as well!
Definitely not a ton of FL5s here either, I've seen a handful and I'm certain one of them is the same boost blue ones that I keep seeing on the 101.
DE5's on the other hand...I've seen exactly ONE on the road in the last year I've had mine which makes me feel...
Rinseless doesn't aim to dissolve it FYI.
But hey you know, people do what they do for their own personal reasons. Granted I'm just a hobbyist detailer but I'm settled on a method I know doesn't cause my car swirls even under an inspection light.
And no, I guarantee I wouldn't.
Dusting it off before the waterless is counterintuitive. The whole point of a rinseless is you're providing lubricity so anything you drag across the paint (like say, a microfiber or rinseless sponge) will not catch the dust and cause swirls/scratches.
Like @Chilly613 I do a contact wash about...
You think it's beneficial enough to warrant the price tag? I'm hesitant to go the PRL RMM because of more rattles due to NVH. But the NVH is negligible with the Spoon despite an improvement similar to (if not greater than) the PRL, I think I'd be ok with spending extra.
