First time with ONR, I'm in love!

I've never used ONR before, why do you have a RINSE bucket? I thought the whole point of Optimum NO RINSE was precisely that. No rinse. Is one really necessary?

I have a rinse bucket to rinse the mitt off after each section of the car. It's to get some of the dirt off the mitt, not to rinse the car after a pass of ONR.

That stuff looks great Dumb question maybe, but how does it work? I mean, we now have dry weather here, lets say the car isn't washed for two weeks and with the dry weather and pollen season is covered in a "nice" layer of dust and pollen. Can you use ONR to wash the car without scratching the paint?

From my understanding, ONR lubricates the surface, lifts the dirt, and encapsulates it to prevent scratches. My car was worse than "a 'nice' layer of dust and pollen," and it didn't scratch the paint. Buy the 8oz and give it a try!

Shipment is here! Came home and 10 boxes were on the front lawn waiting for me. 8 gallons of ONR (new) and tons of other stuff. I will keep some for myself this time. Can't wait to try the new version.

I bought some of the new formula and also am a first time user. Worked great, but I need to get a better system for making sure everything is dried well.



Got the big blue WW towels which work great, and didn't use dH2O so it may be my water, but if any ONR droplets are left it leaves white water spot type residue. Noticed it on the wheel lugs that I evidently didn't dry out well enough and a little in the mirror housings.



Anyone know if the ONR with dH2O will leave white residue too??



Also, I'm concerned about re-using dilute ONR after doing my wheels?? Although they're very clean, I have the grit guard with a lid on the bucket I was planning to reuse, but wondering if I need a second ONR bucket just for the wheels so I don't end up with brake dust on my next wash?? Or is everyone just tossing the ONR that's left after each wash??

Or is everyone just tossing the ONR that's left after each wash??

Yep... I just empty in the grass to use the soil as a natural filter. There are no harsh chemicals in the product and this method seems to work just fine.

Scott, It was your Youtube video of the ONR that made me buy it. Thanks :bigups

Plus 1.

I just placed my order of ONR and other supplies to wash my freshly painted car and I can't wait to use it, especially after seeing the dirt accumulate. It also gives me hope that my paint will look just as good as yours after seeing how long you did not wash your car wxl1988
