Optimum No Rinse Users question

I do not use an absorber except to blot. It tends to stick to the paint and if not perfectly clean and therefore more susceptable to marring and swirls (the theory). I prefer a MF towel.
 
The ONR product states that you can mix it 6 oz to one gallon of water to make a detail spray. But Optimum also sells a quick detailer, OID. Would this be considered the same thing or is OID better in any way

ONR QD is more of a cleaner QD than anything. Their dedicated QD cleans but also adds gloss and slickness. ONR QD would be good between washes, while OID would be better for bringing the gloss/slickness back if you dont want to wax/seal
 
I used ONR for the 5th time, and each time I'm liking it more! I like how I can actually see what I'm cleaning. I never miss a spot with ONR compared with the foam gun method I was using before. For drying I'm using a sonus waffle weave for the first pass and a unitex mf drying towel from costco, and it works great. I agree with what others have said, it does add a little gloss after a wash.





I applied bh autobalm about 3 weeks ago. Just washed with ONR today and its looking great. I'm really loving both of these products :D.

I found the best ONR results are after the cars are wearing a couple of OS coats.

They literally look as though they`ve just been detailed.
 
ONR is freaking amazing



i've been a convert since summer 07 and i've loved every minute using it



i really really like it not only for the rinse-less properties but the fact that it can be used a clay lube and a QD in tight spots.
 
What really gets me is this "gloss enhancing agent" they add. I am not kidding, my car looks "just waxed" for like a good week! And I haven't had time to wax it in two months (shhhhhhh!)



I am interested in the comment that was made about OID vs. ONR Homemade QD Mix. If I am missing out on something..... I NEED TO KNOW!!

OID is definitely better looking and slicker than onr as a QD. I think onr has more cleaning power though. That's not to say oid isn't good at cleaning
 
Optimum No Rinse came out as a "multiple" user end product. One product with many uses.



ONR mixed in your wash bucket with suds will kill the suds BUT it's not the suds that clean your paint anyways.

The 32oz bottle of concentrate makes up a gallon when mixed with distilled water.

Top detailer, smells great.

ONR really just has a detergent smell (nothing artificial). It is not phony nor special like Mothers Showtime (cinnamon)

Really? Mine has a lemony citrusy kind of smell. Atleast to me. Whereas OID has a bubble gum smell. OID imo is the best QD ive used period.



Extremely Slick

Definitely Adds Gloss

Ive never once had a problem with streaking even in the sun

And Best of all, the price factor.

$50 for 1 gallon concentrate which comes to $12.50 a gallon or

$20 for 32oz which means $20 for a gallon.



Nothing in its price range performs better imo

You know what is funny? I had no idea it smelled like bubble gum until someone mentioned it here. Why you ask? Don't I have a nose? As a matter of fact I do have a nose and the ability to smell. Problem is, I am usually chewing bubble gum when I work. :grinno:
 
Bubble gum smell could come from an acetate or ester used as a solvent in the mixture. It doesn't necessarily mean it is added as an artificial smell.



On a side note many esters smell very fruity (often in nature they are what give things like apples their smell) and are great solvents.
 
Yeah, esters are often non-hazardous to the point of they are often artificial flavorings.



That MSDS has to be the least toxic of any I have ever seen. Nice.
 
Also, I hope I don't annoy anyone with the chemistry talk. I am a chemist and always like looking at things from that perspective.
