Ive been hearing great things about Optimum No Rinse and had to give it a try myself. First thing I will say is WOW, I LOVE IT! I used three capfuls to about a half bucket of water, then fill a second bucket with plain water to rinse, I used a "grout sponge" I got for free from Autogeek which came in handy, and then I used a DD Waffle Weave Towel and a Cobra Deluxe Jr for the drying process. This was my first time using the product and it was a breeze, Im sure it will come even easier to me as I begin to use it more!
Thanks to Scottwax for all the informational videos and posts on how to use this stuff!
Tools:
2 Buckets
1 Grit Guard
1 Grout Sponge
1 WW Drying Towel
1 COBRA Deluxe Jr
Combined 5 gallons of water
Process:
Fill each bucket about half way.
Mix 2-3 capfuls of ONR into ONE bucket.
Take Grout Sponge, Soak into ONR bucket.
Wash one panel going over it a couple times to ensure it is clean.
Rinse Grout Sponge in Rinse Bucket.
Dry panel lightly using WW Drying Towel, leaving some moisture behind.
Follow this with a few wipes using a quality MF Towel until dry.
Repeat process on entire car.
I took a few after pictures, the car was relatively clean but hadnt been washed in a couple weeks. Unfortunately I did not get any before pictures, but lets just say it wasnt wacko clean. ;) So heres some pics after my first ONR wash, the last protection was put on about a month or so ago, two coats of Lusso.
PICS:
Rinse Bucket on Left, ONR Bucket on Right, this stuff works!

Notice ALL the dirt is in the rinse bucket, not on the car or solution bucket! ;)
