Do you prefer "No-Rinse" over Conventional Car Wash?

I bought the DP no-rinse wash has anyone tried theirs ?

I purchased a gallon of ONR months ago, but still haven`t gotten around to try it. I just can`t seem to put down my water hose nozzle, plus every time I even think of using the ONR, a little voice in my head tells me that I won`t get my car as clean as if using a the traditional two bucket method with water hose and all. Plus I`m still a bit nervous that I may induce swirls on my finish, absurd, I know, but the fear is still there. The nozzle is like "Crack" I can`t seem to get over the addiction.

At this point it`s like ONR and my Water Hose are battling it out. :StarWars: I just don`t know if I want to succumb to the dark side.

Erik,
If you are nervous about using ONR, take baby steps. Wash your car the standard way. The following week, if your car just needs a quick touch-up, try the ONR. You will truly be amazed at how well this product works. Will it do as good a job as a standard wash? No, but there are many times when a standard wash is not practicle, and you need to wash it. It will save you time, and it will save you money (ONR has many uses). Provided you are careful about your technique, you should not get any induced swirls. Don`t scrub the paint with it. Glide your wash media gently over the paint in the same direction. If it does not come clean in the first pass, go over it again. It is also a good idea to use a Grit Guard.

Just try it, and I`m sure you will be impressed.

i like and use onr for quick clean up when its too bad to wipe clean and i don`t have time for a thorough wash, but there`s nothing like pulling out the foam cannon for a feeling of competely clean paint.
