Optimum No Rinse Wash and Shine Version 5 - ONR Rinseless Car Wash Soap for Auto Detailing, Use On Paint, Ceramic Coatings, Glass, Interior (32 Oz)

I’ll admit—I was skeptical of this at first. A rinseless wash sounded like a recipe for swirl marks, especially on darker paint. But I’m very particular about how my vehicles are cared for, and after doing a deep dive into proper technique (and seeing how many serious detailers rely on this), I decided it was time to try it for myself. I detail my own vehicles whenever possible—most recently my black, new-to-me 2019 Sequoia—because I’ve seen firsthand what automatic car washes can do to paint. I’m also considering starting a mobile detailing business, so learning efficient, paint-safe systems like this really matters to me. Used correctly, this product is impressive. The solution is extremely slick, and with quality microfiber towels and light pressure, dirt lifts away far more easily than you’d expect. The key is good technique—working top to bottom, using clean towels frequently, and never scrubbing. When done that way, I’ve had zero issues with scratching or hazing, even on black paint where flaws show instantly. I also love how versatile this is. It works beautifully as: a true rinseless wash a pre-soak for lightly dirty panels a quick detailer at higher dilution Not needing a hose is a huge bonus—especially for winter, water restrictions, or quick maintenance washes. It also uses very little water, which I appreciate. Another standout is how clean the finish looks afterward. The paint feels smooth, looks glossy, and dries without residue when you don’t overdo the product. Less really is more here. This isn’t a shortcut product—it rewards care and attention—but for anyone serious about maintaining paint safely at home, this absolutely earns a permanent spot in my detailing supplies. It’s efficient, economical, and surprisingly satisfying to use once you trust the process.

Update: When your car is only lightly dirty (nowhere near the level of filth in my photos), I highly recommend using a garden pump sprayer to get the job done. I use the Chapin 2 gallon sprayer (from Menards or any home improvement store) filled with regular water and 4.5 capfuls of ONR. I used a few microfiber towels to clean the car. I dried it with the Aquis waffle weave towel, and used Chemical Guys' new Blazin' Banana Spray Wax to finish it off. You can wipe down your car very quickly with this method, but the Chapin sprayer really shines when used to clean wheels and tires. I wanted something that could rinse the Super Clean off the tires easily, because spraying them with a spray bottle is far too tedious/time consuming. I used about 1.5 gallons for the entire wash. ONR is a great product for maintaining a nice finish in winter, but I can't wait to try mixing it with a normal car soap. I will update my review again when the weather's nice enough to bring out the hose! --------- Sure, automatic car washes exist. They're great for getting salt off the undercarriage. But nothing beats the satisfaction of making your car shine in the comfort of your own garage, at least in my opinion. I was skeptical about ONR for the longest, but after letting my car go unwashed for over a month, it was time to go ahead and try it out. I wrote out my method and additional products used, but I think the before and after pictures speak for themselves. I pre-soaked one side of the car at a time, mixing 32oz of distilled water and 4 capfuls (2oz) of ONR in a spray bottle. I used two buckets and a handful of microfiber towels to get the job done. The wash bucket had 3 gallons of hot water mixed with 3 capfuls (1.5oz) of ONR. The rinse bucket had about 3.5 gallons of hot water with nothing added. After letting the pre-soak dwell for a couple of minutes, I started from the top and worked my way down to the dirtiest parts. Weeks worth of heavy salt, snow and mud simply glided off with very light pressure. No scrubbing was ever needed, and that's what really shocked me about this product. It made the water so unbelievably slick, I no longer had fears of scratching the mess out of my paint. I finished the body within an hour of very careful cleaning. I dried each panel with the Aquis waffle weave towel (yes, it's marketed towards hair use, but it does an amazing job of drying the car!) There was no residue left behind, the paint looked and felt clean. I used the ONR pre-soak spray on my wheels, and it did a good job with the use of a wet microfiber towel. For the tires, I used Super Clean degreaser full strength with a wet firm-bristle brush. I recommend the Tuf Shine brush, it's very comfortable in the hand and scrubs tires well. I finished up with Griots Spray-on Wax and Meguiar's Dub Tire Shine. Overall I'm very impressed with ONR and will definitely keep using it!

I use this exclusively as a quick detailer -- I've not once used it for its primary purpose of being a rinseless car wash, so I can't comment on that. As a quick detailer, it's great, and much more economical than buying a new bottle of quick detailer when you run out (especially if you go through a bottle a month, or even more frequently!) Buy yourself some microfiber towels, a misting spray bottle (or repurpose an old quick detailer bottle,) and you're off to the races. Dilute 1:5 with water for quick detailing. Use distilled water for absolute best results, but it's not a dealbreaker if you don't. I use water from my Brita pitcher and call it a day. I enjoy great results on paint, wheels, and brake calipers. Wipes away pesky stuff like dried bugs, tree sap, and brake dust with ease. Leaves the surface light and smooth. Takes a bit of experimenting to spray the right amount without getting streaky (a light, wide mist is best for me,) and comes up better the more dry your towel is. Larger vehicles may require 2 or 3 microfiber towels as they get saturated with the product. The only thing I think it's missing from being a true quick detailer is wax content, which is solved by adding a bit of your favorite liquid wax. It does provide a decent clean shine without, but not quite a just-waxed (or just-quick-detailed) shine. What I do: using a 12oz spray bottle and a 30mL syringe, I add 60mL (about 2oz) of this product, 5mL (about 0.16oz) of liquid wax, and then top the bottle off with water. Shake well. Oh, and it smells pretty great, too!

Rewelacja 👌

こだわって手洗い洗車をしてます。自宅はアパート暮らしなのでホース洗車が無理で、 コイン洗車場に通ってました。週末はいつも混雑し料金も３分６００円と高いです。 この商品を動画でみて試してみましたが、結論は最高でしたｗ ↓私の手順↓ １，バケツ２つ（Ａ、Ｂ）に水をいれる バケツは１つでも良いと思いますがなんとなく傷が怖いので２つにしてます ２，自動噴霧器（ながら洗車のスノーメン黒）で256倍に薄めたものを用意 自動がなければ手動のものでも〇 ３，２を吹きかけ３～５分後、スポンジでやさしくなでる（Ａで毎回よくすすぐ） スポンジは汚れやゴミが見えやすい色（白）がオススメ（黒は全く汚れがみえないので×） マイクロファイバークロスでやさしく拭き取る（Ｂで毎回よくすすぐ） 気温・スピードに応じて１パネルや２パネルごとにやると〇 ４，必要なら最後に簡易コーティング ※スプレーボトルに256倍に薄めたものを用意しておくと、↑で汚れが落ちなかった部分に追加施工できるので便利です。 ※汚れがひどい時は普通の洗車でどうぞ！ 参考になれば幸いです。

This is perfect as a maintenance wash to get rid of dust and water drops on your car. However this should not replace a full car wash. Great value for money as you can dilute it and span out for multiple washes. It leaves the car shiny, and any leftover mixture can be used to clean and shine your tires

I was at first a little reluctant to clean the car with a rinsless wash as I have only used snow foam and two bucket wash method.I used 15l of di water and 3 capfuls of onr,and I bought the big red sponge. I washed one panel at a time then dried it with a microfiber as it was in direct sunshine.I must admit I was very impressed with the finish and the fact that no residue of micro marring was left on the panel would and have used again

Produit efficace car il n'en faut pas beaucoup.
