SON1C Synopsis 76 is a video review of the product that arguably made rinseless washing famous -- ONR. Optimum No Rinse has many uses but of course it`s main use is Rinse-less washing your car. In this video review I perform a quick how to tutorial on rinseless washing and then give my extended review on the product and an awesome product to pair ONR with which is Mothers Back-To-Black Tire Renew (Rinseless Tire Cleaner). After the intro skip to 4:55 to just view the review portion.

Very good video and explanation. `I do basically what you do as far as technique is concerned. `There is one difference I noticed and that is with the amount of washing solution used on the vehicle. `You squeeze out a lot of water from your towel prior to washing whereas I just barely squeeze out excess water. `When I take my towels out of the bucket (Gary Dean method) I give them just a slight squeeze and then begin my wash with a very wet towel. `I believe that on the first pass the towel should be virtually soaking wet. `I usually mix two or three gallons up and use half a dozen towels at least. `There is always plenty of solution afterwards that is just tossed out anyway. `


`


I would then use a damp towel for the drying and a totally dry towel for the buff and final pass. `I have started to skip the damp towel part and go directly to a microfiber waffle weave for drying, thereby saving one step. `Your method only requires one drying step as well because you do not put nearly as much solution on the vehicle as I do which allows you to get by without using a waffle weave. `Everyone has there own technique and you showed and explained yours very well - good job!

Thanks shortspark! Appreciate the elaborate response. `I took out a bit more than I usually do in this video I agree and people will vary exactly how they do it. I typically presoak panels too. `I use the garry dean wash method too (not reusing towels etc) Agreed definitely on the same page.


What is your favorite WW towel? You definitely seem to have a good method down as well! Thanks again and thanks for taking the time to view my video :D`


I do it more so like you describe in this video using infinite use detail juice gdwm

Oh boy, you are going to wish you never asked me about microfiber towels!! `My supply of microfiber towels is unending! `In fact, I would say I fancy myself a collector, like some people collect coins or stamps. `I have some in my supply that I have not used in years! `I always used Cobras WW for drying (and still do now and then), then graduated to these: http://neatitems.com/Micro-Fiber-Waffle-Weave-Bath-Towels-24x48.html (`http://neatitems.com/Micro-Fiber-Waffle-Weave-Bath-Towels-24x48.html`). ``But lately I found something even better -`http://www.carpro-us.com/microfiber-madness-dry-me-crazy-25-x-17/. `These are really great drying towels but I usually use them after a full shampoo when I need all the drying help I can get. `It is plusher than a WW of course which is all the better for when I use a drying aid such as AquaWax or Lucas Speed Shine. `This kind of towel seems to not only dry better but at the same time it works in the drying aid better than WW. `By that I mean I have less streaking. `I still like WW for rinseless washes where the water on the panels is not nearly as great.


`


The best all around towel for just about anything (with some limitations) is my old stand-by towel that I`ve used for a long time so I have to mention it - Meguiars Supreme Shine. `I also like the Griot`s dedicated wax removal towels for wax and sealants removal. `Recently, I have been experimenting with a new outfit called The Rag Company. `I`ve bought several kinds of towels from them (mostly the plush type) and have been impressed with the quality/price ratio. `I think they may still have their free shipping on Fridays which lowers the cost still further. `


`


For the kind of wash you are showing on this video, I like to use these:`http://www.autogeek.net/best-waterless-wash-towel.html (`http://www.autogeek.net/best-waterless-wash-towel.html`). `I have half a dozen of them and use them probably more than any other towel in my inventory. `For any kind of buffing or QD work I like the ultra plush types and even go so far as the double joined towels such as these Chinchillas which you can find under different names. `http://www.autogeek.net/chinchilla-buffing-cloth-combo.html.


`


There are countless more in my arsenal but these are the ones I go to most often. `Oh, I can`t forget Sam`s cheapo bundled pack of microfibers that are great for the grunt work but I don`t usually put them on paint. `I am sure they won`t hurt if you`re careful but I have lots of better ones for that. `By now I know you are sorry you asked but there you have it. `Keep up the good work on your videos - a picture is worth a thousand words but a video is worth a million!!

I`m starting to gradually incorporate rinseless washes into *some* of my washes, using IUDJ.` Still using my foamgun/BHB combo for the initial passes though, and only doing this on vehicles that are far less dirty than usual.

[silverfox]

At some point, if not already in some areas, water will be more valuable than land. Rinseless is the only choice for some, and thank goodness Dr G is a visionary and saw the need to lead the way.

[David Fermani]

Excellent video indeed!! I chose 3D/HD, but I think ONR is just as good. I love using both.`

[Scottwax]

ONRWW for straight washes, ONR for cars I detail. I might run into 1-2 cars a year that are too dirty for ONR so its my primary wash method. Whats remarkable is how often when I return to a customer`s house that they have a bottle of ONR in their garage and they thank me for letting them know about it. I`ve had a couple customers tell me if it wasn`t for ONR they wouldn`t wash their own cars.`

rinseless could certainly be the only option available one day!`

how would you compare onrww vs onr (goes to anyone)

Thanks for sharing good info!`

[Bert]

bhb = boar`s hair brush.` Accum himself popularized those on this site.

[Accumulator]

Right, BHB= Boar`s Hair Brush.`


`


Used in conjunction with a foamgun (spray output at point of BHB-to-paint contact) it effects a "dislodge and flush" method of washing that gets the big stuff off safely.` When done properly, it`s too gentle to get things 100% clean, so I follow up with either a mitt-with-foamgun or (maybe, if I`m feeling lucky), if the vehicle wasn`t very dirty to start with, a Rinseless Wash.

Both clean very effectively, just a bit more pop and slickness with ONRWW. Its like I washed and waxed it. I know my son likes how it looks on his car too, customers are all very happy.`

have you since ditched onr for onrww then? iirc they`re the same price?

I agree. I previously bought a gallon of ONR and I more recently bought 2 gallons of ONRWW. Awesome product.
