QEW vs. OPTIMUM NO RINSE

Well I have to say I'm a new ONR fan !



After research and thought my method is a little different. I mix 1oz/1gal warm water in a 1 gal pump sprayer. I fill a 5 gal pail with warm (rinse) water. I spray a panel at a time (top down of course), wipe with a wet waffle weave towel, followed by a dry towel. I rinse the wet towel as I move along and rotate in new towels as necessary. Wheels/tires are last. I have washed my mid-size SUV twice and my wifes Regal once with that gallon of MIX! (and I wasn't stingy). So a gallon of ONR will go really far for me!



Some ONR highpoints:

1 - Very effective at removing dirt w/o scratching (almost melts away) including brake dust.

2 - Surprizingly cleans tires very well.

3 - Has a Rainx like affect on glass.

4 - Looks every bit as good as a wet wash and leaves a nice shine and a slick surface that helps reduce road spray from sticking.

5 - Mixed at 6oz/1 gal distilled water makes a very good QD spray.

6 - Can also be mixed/used as a clay lube.

after that post,

i'm ordering it now :2thumbs:
 
Has No Rinse ever caused scratches in someones paint? Does the car have to be pretty clean to use this? I've been wanting to try this stuff but kind of leary. Any help would be appreciated.

from what i have read, it depends on your wash process and mitts / mf's

if the car is really salt crusted from snowy streets, i have read to put some in a spray bottle and pre-treat the bad areas, allow the solution to rinse the section.



i'll be using ONR for my parents cars and my new DD, whatever it might be.

so i'll keep you guys posted, might even take pics,



ps, the snow can hold off for another 5 months :nana:

I will check that out. One more question. How good is the spray wax? Also been thinking about getting the Polish and compound too. I've been using poorboys polishes and hate how they make a mess. From what I've read, Optimum is the way to go.

The spray wax is excellent, do a search and you will see what I mean.
