Wow you can cut through dirt that easily with NRWS? Isn't it slightly harsh to use APC / MF for that extra grime? I guess an final wet wipe is needed.

I am really amazed at what it picks up. Still for heavily soiled vehicles Id probally use a hose because I may be quicker at getting some stuff off with a pre-rinse. I use 1:10 dillution followed by a damp MF.

Nice review, I think the more you use ONR the more you will like it, only real drawback is it becomes hard to tell when your LSPs slickness ends!

So ONR does add some slickness? How do you suggest claying using this system?

Good review. I was worried about moving to a new place in a couple month's that has an ocean view, but no garage and no hose. I think I will be picking up some ONR from Patrick soon. Now I have to worry about the salt air.

Re: Review of Optimum No Rinse Wash and Shine w/ Pics

I'd love to find a quick wash answer to my need to wash my black 993 at the track.
I had thought that Optimum No Rinse was an answer, but I would still need a water source.
If there is a spigot, no problem - I just wash as usual.
But if there is no spigot, I'd like to be able to clean the car, but don't know of a surface friendly product that I can spray on/wipe off.
Suggestions are welcome; thanks!

Get one (or two) of the 5 gallon buckets with a screw on lid, or save some gallon jugs, and take your water with you to the track.

I'm not an expert by any means, but I would not even consider cleaning my car after a day at the track with a spray on cleaner (unless I didn't care about scratching my paint.)

If you can't lug 4 gallons or so of water to the track to use ONR, you should probably wait until you get someplace that you can.

I've used Poorboy's Spray and Wipe as a waterless wash for the minor jobs and it works fine.

PB Spray and Wipe is the answer when theres no water at all. Only problem is if the car is really dirty you will go through a lot of mf towels.
