QEW vs. OPTIMUM NO RINSE

gav'spurplez · 11-01-06, 07:11

I no longer work at a dealer, so now that it is getting to be winter, it will be a pain cleaning cars.
I have cleaned in cold weather before, but that included a rinse, wash, rinse, and dry.

so, my question is, which product do you guys prefer, QEW or optimum no rinse wash ?

suggestions, opinions, personal preference, let me know !!

thanks

Kind of your pick - some ppl prefer QEW over ONR and vice versa. I haven't used QEW but I like ONR.

I've used both and I much prefer using ONR. Leaves the finish slicker, works better on glass and has at least equal cleaning power.

I never tried ONR, but like QEW alot. Just got another gallon.

Sounds like a toss up between the two. I'll be trying QEW soon thanks to TomP

ONR is my favourite. Comes out soo much clearer on glass.

thanks for the information, keep it coming

since i'll be washing cars that have been driven through salt and snow,
is there still a call for pre-rinsing ??

or do you just start washing ?
i'd like to induce as little swirling / marring as possible.

i was reading some of the older posts, that have discussed similar situations,
and i guess i'll be using some qew / onrw is a trigger bottle to pre-treat some of the heavy soiled areas.

its going to suck not working at a dealer, being able to wash the cars with a hose and bucket, always nice to rinse everything thoroughly.

eh ,

You'll soon realize how much easier and faster it is to wash the car this way.
