In the dead of winter here in upstate NY, I just do the touchless or coin-op pressure wash. I don`t do a rinseless wash by itself if there`s road splash/grit on the paint - this would get hosed or pressure washed (rinsed) off first.
My ONR wash is a bit different. I use a concentrated ONR (about 2 oz. with water in a quart sprayer). My bucket is filled with just warm, fresh rinse water and I use an inexpensive waffle weave towel. I spray a panel liberally, then wipe with my wet ww towel, followed by a dry wipe with an MF towel. I fold the ww towel and rinse as needed. This works great for me and I have never had any signs of marring - the ONR concentration is slick enough and the ww towel captures the grime that slides off with ease. I usually follow with a spray wax like Duragloss Aquawax as a topper.
Bear in mind that although it may not matter, the above is on a finish with a good LSP so in combination with the ONR concentration, the dirt `n grime that did stick, comes off pretty easy. This might not be the case on a neglected beater.
So there it is...a no rinse wash that`s close to a detail spray `n wipe. Now the conventional no rinse method can work, I just like the performance and feel of the concentrated spray method. But like many detail procedures, you have to find your own way because there are many ways to achieve the desired result.
