Re: Optimum No Rinse: Field test
Used ONR for the first time this morning as a QD. When I came in from the man cave, my wife said "Oooh! what have you got on today? You smell so good!"

Ok, I've spent paychecks with these guys, am a member of autogeek online, and yet I can't find this "member's only" page? What's that about?

Re: Optimum No Rinse: Field test
Just bought some to try out this winter, anyone have any tips for using it on a heavily salted/dirty car? I will probably only be able to do it once a week.

Re: Optimum No Rinse: Field test
Salty car should be prewashed at the carwash in winter , then complete with ONR wash.

Re: Optimum No Rinse: Field test
I bought some ONR about a year ago and never really used any of it. Guess I need to give it a try. I'm just used to using the pressure washer, a good wash mitt with lots of soap. I can clean a mid size car bumper to bumper in about 10-15 mins.

Re: Optimum No Rinse: Field test
Wow, I love this stuff!
My truck was clean for the most part, but it had been 4 days since a wash and been driven daily. 2 gallons of water with the ONR, towel for stage 1 drying and waffle weave MF for final dry. Took no more than 20 minutes to do it, and to do it finicky. Works great! Especially on waxed surfaces  |

Re: Optimum No Rinse: Field test
I know; isn't the ONR gloss amazing? It looks great on my metallic grey paint.
I almost feel bad about Megs UQD'ing my paint after ONRing because the ONR gloss alone, is much more pleasing and noticeable.
Now I've almost convinced myself that I should buy a 32oz concentrate of Optimum's Instant Detailer (which makes a gallon of OID!) to use instead of Meg's UQD.  One thing I can't figure out definitively though, is if OID actually has protection like UQD does. Or, sadly, if it only is designed to add gloss as the description suggests... |

I think it only adds gloss. It is amazing gloss though. If you think ONR is glossy, you really need to try OID. OCW would add protection if that is what you are after. It also looks great. |
