We Say
Rinseless washing divides opinion, largely because it’s often used in the wrong situations. When the vehicle is lightly soiled and you need control rather than volume, it’s one of the safest and most efficient ways to clean paint.
Koch Chemie Rapid Rinseless Wash is formulated around that exact use case. It uses high-lubricity polymers to encapsulate dirt, allowing it to be safely lifted away from the surface with minimal water and without the need for rinsing.
What stands out with RRW is how refined it feels in use. The solution stays slick, the towel glides cleanly, and the finish is left smear-free rather than grabby or sticky — which isn’t always the case with rinseless products.
For us, RRW is a maintenance wash, not a shortcut. Used on lightly dirty vehicles, in winter, or where water access is limited, it’s a genuinely effective and paint-safe solution.

Description
Koch Chemie Rapid Rinseless Wash (RRW) is a low-water wash solution designed for safe, controlled vehicle cleaning without rinsing. It uses lubricating polymers to surround and encapsulate dirt particles, reducing friction and minimising the risk of wash-induced marring.
RRW is ideal for maintenance washes, winter cleaning, or situations where traditional hose-and-bucket washing is impractical. When used correctly on lightly soiled vehicles, it delivers a clean, smear-free finish with minimal water usage.
Typical use cases:
✓ Maintenance washes on lightly dirty vehicles
✓ Winter washing where water use is restricted
✓ Indoor or garage washing
✓ Quick clean-downs between full washes
RRW is not intended for heavily soiled vehicles and should always be preceded by a pre-wash if loose contamination is present.

How To Use
1) Dilute correctly: Mix RRW at approximately 1:250 or about 80ml in a 20 litre clean wash bucket of water.
2) Pre-inspect the vehicle: Only proceed if the vehicle is lightly soiled. Heavy dirt should be removed with a pre-wash first.
3) Wash with a soft towel: Soak a plush microfibre towel in the solution and gently wipe one panel at a time, using minimal pressure.
4) Dry immediately: Dry each panel straight away with a clean, dry microfibre towel.
Important notes:
✓ Use multiple towels to avoid reintroducing dirt
✓ Do not use on heavily contaminated vehicles
✓ Always work panel by panel
