For light soiling, I find them perfect. I usually do an ONR/DP Rinseless wash and than use either ONR/DP in QD dilution or PB's Spray & Gloss for quick cleans. I will probably quess that I have used a tradional wash once this season(for a full spring detail), ONR/DP washes about six times this Summer (12 gallons of water total), and than ONR/DP/PB's S&G the majority of the time. For me, it is quick and convenient, does a great job (no swirling),and than can do a quick follow up with a decent spray wax. Perfect for a daily driver outside 24/7/
