Review: Optimum No Rinse Wash and Wax

Car needed a little cleaning, figured I`d share what I did!

Wash media:

I wont bore you with my method, or with before shots. I will say, I always presoak before a rinseless so I used ONR w/out Nuba as the presoak. My car wasn’t heavily soiled just some dried up rain spots and some light dust, you all know what that is like, so it was perfect for on ONR wash.

After:

In my experience with ONR, ONR w/ Carnauba is much the same. The directions were identical. However, the surface left over is noticeably slicker. (I will note, I recently clayed, used Blackfire GEP w/ black pad, and applied two layers of BFWD) so perhaps that had something do with the “slick” factor. However it is noticeably slicker than the non-carnauba ONR. It left a real nice shine, cleaned really well and I was really pleased. I am a recent user of the new Pinnacle Waterless and Rinseless and the slickness and shine is almost on par. Granted it is just my opinion, I am sure you will and will enjoy forming your own.

Thank you for the review. I have been wondering about this product. The original is one of my favorite washes as well...

It`s a great product. If you like the original, you need to get this as well. Use the original prior to polishing, sealing, waxing, and use the wash and wax for maintenance washing.
