So how many people use this product? Optimum No Rinse Wash & Shine 128 oz.! It looks like a great product to use to start your detail and help the environment. What is the dirtiest you would use this product before you would suspect marring? What's the dirtiest your car has been when you used this product?



Thank You.
 
I think the add says to use a Cobra Microfiber towel, But I'm sure a quality microfiber mitt would also work.



Anyone have any reviews of the product??
 
Oh there are so many topics started on all of these. Seriously just do a ONR search and you will find almost every answer you could think of.
 
If the car is very dirty, I first hose off the car and then spray the all car with ONR QD. The remaining dirt mellts away.

To wash I use normally 3 PakShak MF towels if the car is not too dirty.

First MF towel to wash and the second to dry. When the first one is too dirty the second one is used to wash and the third one to dry. And so on.

Finally I pass once again with a PakShak WW MF towel to dry the car completely.

Phk.

I use ONR for all my customers cars and my 4. The only time I don't use it is on a couple of cars that are driven down dirt roads and get muddy. I think ONR is capable of cleaning just about any car out there if you use something like a 2gallon sprayer for heavy areas. I could clean the muddy cars with it safely but it would take too much time and ONR so I opt to pressure wash or hose the heavy stuff off.



I use the Chenille MF mitts from Costco, Walmart or Target. I dry with 2 MF towels. I like using my Cobra Ultra Plush towels but I only have 13 so other MF towels often are used.
 
I used the Cobra MF Chenille Wash Mitt I got in the "goodie bag" from DetailFest for the first time today with ONR and it worked well. I liked that the thick "dreadlocks" feel softer than the Sheepskin Wool after the mitt is wet. However, I was worried that you can obviously see the underlying mitt material which feels pretty abrasive and that can actually make contact with the paint since the dreadlocks are spread out pretty wide on the mitt. Is this material made of MF as well?
 
I still like the suds also, especially now with the electric pressure washer, but I can see why someone would not want to go through the hassle of doing a regular wash.



I didn't think I would have a need for it since we have perfect weather year round here in SoCal to wash cars, but now that summer is here, I just might end up switching to ONR washes completely so I don't have to deal with water spots. Plus it saves a bunch of time.

The OP indicates he'd never used ONR, he was just considering it.

Damnit, I apologize, I meant to post that in a different thread. Im trying to multitask at work and its not working. Again, my apologies. Plus this client on the phone is really pissing me off.

That's what I do. Use a small MF then a large WW to dry. I'm not proud of how dirty my cars were this winter, and I did a lot of ONR washes. If it's really dirty spray it all down with the QD mixture first.
